Concentrador B-hyve Gen 2 Wi-Fi | 21027

Great system but its use depends on having Bluetooth reaching each unit. Complex system that needs better explanations.

The hub is approximately 10 ft from the water timer and it still does work remotely so it’s safe to say it is pointless to have. Uninstalled and reinstalled, checked the wifi, new batteries and it will not work remotely. The Blue Tooth will work when standing 5 feet from the device but whats the point of that when you can just use the timer itself. Will be returning both.

I now can adjust my water system while I’m on vacation or away from the house. This is so awesome and very reasonable

After several weeks of troubleshooting my system. The 2nd generation Hub is what my system needed to get back up and running satisfactorily.

Excellent service

Great addition - works perfectly!

I have both the Orbit B-Hyve Gen 2 WiFi Hub and the Rain Bird LNK2 WiFi module. The Orbit hub is the one I trust.

The Orbit hub connects every time. I can open the app from anywhere and control the system without wondering if it will load. That is what I bought WiFi control for.

The Rain Bird LNK2 is hit or miss. Sometimes it connects. Other times the app will not talk to the controller no matter what I try. Same house, same network, same problem over and over.

The Gen 2 hub is a great addition to my sprinkler setup because it stays connected. If you want remote control you can count on, get the Orbit. It actually works when you need it.

I have a large vegetable garden and orbit lets me modify the watering schedule remotely - I love it.

Solved my connection problems with the timer valve

Works well.

Works perfectly

I like it alot it's easy to use and hookup. The rain delay feature is super cool. My plants and lawn look even better now that I have this installed.

Will not connect to any Wi-Fi 2.4 gig Hertz or 5 gigahertz. I've bought two of these things and neither of them have worked

Works as expected. Can now control sprinklers remotely. Cool.

Works Great!

Not compatible with 1st generation devices. For me useless.

Great device to allow for control of b-hyve devices and water settings

The Gen 2 would not work with Gen 1 hose timers. I didn’t see any warning about this but it may not have been prominent or I may have missed it, but looks like I wasted my money

It took a while to find the right spot for the hub since the signal from the timers are going through various obstructions including a cement block foundation. The first couple of spots it worked for a little while then lost the signal to the timers. It was getting frustrating and I was thinking there was something wrong with one or the other component until I came up with the solution. If you find the signal dropping off move the hub closer or elevate it to go through less obstructions if you can, I wound up doing the latter.

I never knew that the timer l bought was Bluetooth and once I found out and connected to it l found that working the timer with the app was easier than using the timer manually. I ended up converting from using garden hose to doing a in ground system with the timer that is WiFi.
After a while I started doing another part of my property and figured I would use the timerthat I used garden hose for to do this part of my new property. I noticed on the app there’s a hub for WiFi and so I bought it. It worked great for a while but now has started disconnecting from my router.

not sure it works for my area

Loving it so far. I like it it goes into rain delay basses on local weather conditions so I don’t have to go make changes every time it rains. For now I’m just using basic programming but I plan on using the the advanced once my soil test comes back.

It's AMAZING!!!! Hasn't lost connection since it was installed ;)

It’s great

Love it when it works like I think it should. Sometimesit seems to take a few tries before it gets the message and can send to the timers.

It does what it says it is supposed to do. It was easy to get connected and I can now control my smart hose tap timer from anywhere.

allows use from anywhere via phone wifi instead of bluetooth.

I genuinely needed this hub. The Bluetooth range on the B-hyve unit isn't great, and I literally had to be in line-of-sight with the unit to connect to it. Plus connecting is slow. This hub eliminated those problems, and now I can control it from anywhere.

The only thing I genuinely don't like is that if I'm within Bluetooth range if my timer unit, the it still tries to connect via Bluetooth instead of connecting through the wifi hub. So I have to make sure I'm out of Bluetooth range if I want to get up and running quickly. To me, once a hub is connected it should become the singular connection method... The timer unit should ignore any other Bluetooth connections so the hub can handle the business. If there's a way to make this be the case I'd be all over it!

But connecting the hub is super simple and it seems reliable so far. It's only been a couple of weeks butI feel good about it.
