Description
The B-hyve smart sprinkler timer app allows you to control or monitor your sprinklers from anywhere in the world with the convenience of your smart device.
Smart Watering
Knowing how long and how often to water your plants can be challenging. When set to smart watering mode, B-hyve takes the guesswork out of watering and utilizes Mother Nature, along with some really great technology, to determine the watering schedule for your yard. When set and left in smart watering mode, B-hyve can save users as much as 50% more water over a traditional controller.
Weather
When set in smart mode, B-hyve uses local weather data to determine how much water is evaporated and transpired through your plants each day to know when it needs to water. It also accounts for any rainfall that is in the forecast, shuts off the system for rain, then looks back to see how much actually fell. That’s smart! But all yards are not the same. B-hyve also takes into account things like soil type, plant type, sun/shade and slope to determine a watering schedule that takes the water to the roots and helps avoid runoff.
WeatherSense
If you want to be the one in control of the schedule, that’s okay too. With B-hyve you can set custom programs to water how you want while still taking advantage of the local weather data to override watering in case of a weather event. This will shut off your system during the rain and resume your program when the rain has passed. That’s smart!
Integrated Irrigation Audit Tool
The B-hyve app also integrates the award-winning irrigation audit tool right to your smart device. By performing a catch cup test on your sprinkler system, you will know exactly how much water is being applied rather than relying on estimated sprinkler head water use that other timers/apps use, which can be off by as much as 50%, saving you more water and money.
This is the app for the best-selling, WaterSense and SWAT certified Orbit B-hyve Smart Wifi Sprinkler Timer. This is also the companion app for homeowners with the Hydro-Rain B-hyve Pro Wifi Controller.

Ratings and Reviews
Better than the timer
Starting with this AM PM thing, absurd. Why not 24 hr clock as many of the rest of the planet have it.
I will work this out but it seems to me it can only be programmed at the device. The App seems to be merely a link without full programming function. I could be wrong.
I would say the kit does not really suit my application but it is better than the tap timer.
There are so many mysteries in this bit of kit.
I have it on a roof terrace where most is planted in containers, smart watering does not really work for such as rainfall does not penetrate and definitive soil/subsoil moisture levels are not monitored.
One persistent problem
The app is great, but I’ve had this controller for a couple of months now and discovered a problem. I have 6 watering zones. They are all lawn except for zone 6. Zones 1-5 are using smart watering. Zone 6 is a flower bed. I have zone 6 programmed to water every day at the moment and every time I look at the app, the program is disabled. I enable it, close the app, reopen it and it’s disabled again. So I have to remember to do it manually. Was hoping it would get fixed in an update, but nothing yet
Does all I’d hoped.
Very pleased with this watering system, especially the ‘Smart’ element which means nothing is over watered as it sometimes was with my previous simple timer.
