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.

Really good product. Took one star off as the app isn’t as intuitive as I would like.

Otherwise it has great info on volumes of water used, easy to change settings of when to water and the battery indicator means you know when to change batteries especially if going away. I have a drip line system so very efficient watering system.

I have recommended this product to any gardener. My vege patch and apple trees are happier for it.

Overall ok, app could be improved.

Works pretty well. I found a couple of times, setting up a new program/tap, I put in the start date & time & it still didn’t want to start. Few tries and finally got it going, once going it was fine. Biggest con is that you can’t oversee all taps and zones & control on your Home Screen. What would be cool is if you didn’t have to click on just one tap at a time to control that one and view it etc. should be able to control & view all at once and create programs for multiple zones. If it could do that I think it would be perfect.
Also would be cool if you could set soil profiles, moisture level settings for greenhouse but growing as seed trays/above ground. I get warnings that I’m overwatering.

Highly recommended

I got this to set up a 5 zone system and I have 0 regrets. Wiring it up was very simple even having never done it before, and the internet/app connection it basically does itself. All in all installation was a breeze!

The Smart Watering setting is very clever and once set right, you can literally forget about it and it does what it needs to do. There are plenty of weather stations around so it can get some relatively accurate weather info. The one thing I have found is that it isn’t very easy to hook up your own weather station to it. Not needing to has meant it hasn’t been an issue but can imagine it could be if there aren’t any around for Smart Watering feature.

Adjusting the settings can take some time when you don’t know fully understand it but that was my lack of knowledge not the software so can’t really fault it there as it does have a simplified version to assist you.

I’ve recommended it to other friends and they’ve all been happy with the product.
