Effortless Programming
Whether you use your B-hyve® smartphone app or the console, create programming that will be the most beneficial to your lawn’s specific needs. Set up timers, zones, and make adjustments to your smart sprinkler controller with the push of a button.
Adjusts to Weather
WeatherSense® technology uses your smart sprinkler controller’s wifi to stay on top of the weather forecast in order to make adjustments. Rain in the forecast? The B-hyve® smart sprinkler controller ensures that your sprinklers never come on while it’s raining and adjusts your watering schedule to prevent over-saturation. Droughts won’t sneak up on you, ruining your grass and landscaping; the smart sprinkler controller gives more water when needed.
Detailed Scheduling on Free App
Designate when you’d like your smart sprinkler controller to commence watering. Grass and plant watering needs are not one size fits all; B-hyve® lets you customize schedules for different zones within your property. Your lawn does not have to suffer during water shortages; set the B-hyve®’s schedule to water your yard on specific days of the week or month and at the time of your choosing.
Connects with Other B-hyve® Devices
With network meshing, you can connect to other B-hyve® devices and extend your watering range.
Connect Anywhere With Smartphone
Each B-hyve® smart sprinkler controller connects easily to wifi and is controlled with an intuitive free app for iPhone, Android, and smartphone; make changes to your settings and turn on or shut off your sprinklers even when you are not home. The app alerts you if there are changes in the forecast and then automatically adjusts the watering schedule on your smart sprinkler controller.
Waterproof Design
Mount the B-hyve® Smart Indoor/Outdoor Irrigation Controller wherever you’d like; its sturdy, waterproof design features a keyed entry to protect your console. Installation is a breeze with the B-hyve: everything needed to easily install your sprinkler controller is included.

Installed a new Orbit Smart sprinkler control box at the start of this season. The set-up is relatively easy if doing a basic setup (non-smart), but gets relatively more complex when you set up the smart features. The installation was standard and isn’t difficult to complete. The smart features have loads of options to assist in determining how much to water your lawn. The app is really what makes this product shine. Control zones from your phone (anywhere in the world), but mostly in the backyard while trying to adjust or repair a sprinkler head. I had a dripline crack and I typically have to take a few trips back and forth to determine where the break is, to turn it off, and then to turn it back on. With the app, repairs are done at the site. You can also water the lawn from anywhere.
Because this is a smart device, you may that the initial set-up is a little frustrating. I accidentally set my program to run at 5 am, 5 am, and 5 am. After the sprinklers completed the first cycle, it ran two more times and I had no idea why. I figured it out but realized that the versatility is a double-edged sword.
Very pleased to switch to a smart controller. The controller is one of those things that you really don’t notice as it sits in the background. Having an app to run the system from a phone is a huge step up.

The controller is very easy to set up and operate via the app. It works flawlessly and has many options. I especially like that the latest model has the ability to set up 4 programs, versus the 3 that the older model has. I needed to group my zones in a way that required 4 programs. I have been using the B-hyve for several years now and am very happy with it.

This wifi-enable controller does everything I wanted and more. The convenience controlling your system from an app, to water conservation via “smart watering”. The orbit store experience was trouble free also.

The only hiccup in the process was the receipt. Because I was applying for a water district rebate, the invoice needs to have the model number on it. For that reason, the model number should be included on all invoices and notifications. The notes that the order was received, packed and ready to go, etc. If that’s as tough as it gets for a brand new program, they did a great job.

It has all the features I wanted and more. I personally don’t think I will ever use the manual control panel. The units could be less expensive if it were offered as an option. They seem well designed and built.

With the help of a friend the set up went relatively good until u get into that smart stuff I’m an old guy not up to the technology of today so that’ll stay unused but otherwise it works great the old fashion way.
Be nice if u supplied a user manual for set up instead of trying to get the info instructions on a smart phone in fact my phone never got picked up. Oh well so is life in the past lane

I had a non wifi orbit, only a few years old, but I find using an iPad to control things much easier , so decided to upgrade to b-hyve with some hesitation as many app controlled devices just don’t work that well. I wasn’t disappointed. Very easy to install and activate without any glitches. My zoned system for drip irrigation is very different for citrus, pots, desert landscape and it was very easy to program. No regrets whatsoever.
