I have had the B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer installed for a couple months now and I have really enjoyed it and especially the Android app. I am a programmer so I loved all the different setup options. Might be too much for non-computer people. I love how it automatically knows when it is going to rain and defers watering (not that it rains that much where I am).
Someday I plan to get a second unit.

Great product, using the smart watering to try to revive a lawn that’s been neglected for a long time. Waterings are on time, rain delays are accurate. A couple of notes on the app:
– the navigation isn’t easy or great, needs to be easier to manage, especially when creating custom programs
– there should be some function that knows what your soil types are based on your address – I find it hard to believe that there isn’t that function since many other subscription services have it (Sunday, Scotts, etc) – took me a little bit of research to figure out what my soil type was based on government surveys.
– One of my units didn’t work right away, I contacted customer service and they had it replaced free of charge in a week – stellar response and a really great experience.

Product works great. Easy to use and setup.Only thing I feel would make it better is to let the customer set different duration times for multiple watering times

I just bought a pretty nice mechanical timer before I discovered this unit. I am a recent owner of the Orbit B-hyve WiFi sprinkler controller so I purchased the WiFi timer to try. I’m very impressed with the ease to connect to the WiFi system and I love using the app on my phone. I’m using the timer on 10 hanging baskets of ferns and the advantage this unit has over the mechanical timer is I can water the ferns twice a day for different lengths of time. Just bought a second one to use to water pots and containers on my deck.

Great product and solved a lot of problems I was having with regular sprinklers. WiFi works great and currently have 6 units running with 19 sprinklers total.

I’ve been waiting for a solution like this for years and it has not disappointed. No longer do I have to go out in the rain and hit the rain delay button if I forget to do it ahead of time. No longer do I have to guess how long to water my lawn and how often. The app calculates watering time based on a variety of parameters such as water PSI, slope, sun/shade, grass type, sprinkler type and reach. I’ve had it for a few weeks and it’s delayed watering due to a series of heavy rainfall. I didn’t have to do a thing. Setup was fine. I think you just need to understand that when you enable smart watering, that you don’t need to create a program. Yes, the definition of “zones”, “devices”, “group”, etc. could be clearer, but I was still able to get it up and running within 20 minutes of taking it out of the box, I can’t really complain.

I saw the product on social media and figured I would give it a try. Boy am I glad I did. This has made watering my front and back yard so much more easier. I hear that people have had connection issues but I didn’t have any. I would recommend this product if this is what your looking for.

Originally purchased the 4 station sprinkler control and then added two hose control units – east to install, outstanding to “set it & forget it” on smart watering. Lawn looks better than it has in years. I travel for work and the bonus of controlling my watering from anywhere is a game changer. Thanks Orbit.

I’m old and in a wheelchair, so simple things like turning faucets on & off take extra effort for me. Being in the desert means I need to water my garden every day. I first bought the wifi setup to try out. By the time I got it, they were sold out of the individual timers, so after seeing how great this was for me, I had to wait until today to order a few more timers. These really are great and make life easier! I’ve tried leaving water in the hoses and using on/off valves at the end of the hoses, but with our 115 heat, the hoses explode and run non-stop water everywhere when the pressure from the heat expansion builds up in them. With these, this won’t happen anymore.
When you first connect, they download the latest firmware version. Easy peasy. Setup was a breeze, too. Make sure you use new batteries and don’t leave it in setup mode after it is finished, as it drains the batteries. I like the wifi option, as I can be in another state and still turn the water on and off. I’m super glad I bought these.

I just purchased this product. B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer w/ WiFi Hub.
It was real easy to install and setup with the APP. I was looking into a underground watering system and this seemed to fill my need as a very cost effective price. So far it has operated as expected, and it has put me into a RAIN DELAY due to my weather conditions so saving water YAY!! It has a manual button on the device that you need to setup via the app so you can test the system without you smart phone getting wet. I recommend this product for the following reasons. 1). Ease of Setup. 2). Has built in connectivity to the web for rain delays. 3) Ease of use thru the smart app. 4). just a nice product to look at!

Setup was tricky as the timer struggles to switch between Bluetooth and wifi. I had to unplug the hub to get the timer to connect to the network. I wish the Alexa integration was better. The skill for Alexa is not the best. Overall, once setup it does the job.

Great device to automatically water porch plants. I have 7 of them using the mister drip irrigation drips. I can selectively control water for my fountains, orchids, and plants that need varying amounts of water. If it rains it turns off stem for 24 hours and you can change all of the control times from your phone app. Device needs alert on app to notify you of low battery.

I bought this to replace a manual timer that I’ve had to replace every year. I love that I can set it to water any time, once a day or every few minutes. The options are endless. What I appreciate most is that it seems to monitor the weather and gives me notice that I may want to delay watering because of having had rain. I can also use my phone to add a manual watering whenever I think it needs it. I love my timer and had no issues at all pairing it to my home wifi, bluetooth and phone.
