Easy Setup Wizard

B-hyve's setup wizard makes personalizing your yard info a breeze. Add details about your yard's soil type, sun exposure, slope, plant types, and more at the zone level. B-hyve waters each zone on its own unique schedule – because sometimes your flowers need a bit more water than your shrubs.

Simple Zone Management

Name and photograph your yard's zones for easy differentiation. Always know which area is being watered or which sprinkler zone you're testing at a glance.

Customized Watering

Want direct control? You can create and save several custom programs to manage your watering needs. Custom programs can also utilize automatic rain delays to avoid watering when your lawn is already getting enough moisture. You also have the option to override any program to spot water a single zone or test multiple zones to make sure that your system is running its best.

Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Control

Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) Wi-Fi provides full functionality with Android, iOS or web app for total control, wherever you need it. Long range Bluetooth for fast pairing and extended Bluetooth control.

Smart Home Ready

Control your B-hyve smart sprinkler controller with Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant to easily water a specific zone with your voice. B-hyve devices also communicate with each other and with select partner devices, creating a smart water system inside your home and yard.

Eco-Friendly Watering

B-hyve XR is EPA WaterSense labeled and SWAT certified and may be eligible for rebates from your local water or utility agency.

Add Multiple Users

Easily grant access to contractors without having to let someone into your home or garage. Temporarily grant access to a house sitter, or permanently grant access to a family member – whatever you need.

Weather-Resistant

Outdoor-rated, weather-resistant design allows the timer to be mounted indoors or outdoors without the need for a costly weather enclosure.

Secure Locking

Digital lock-out keeps unwanted people from changing watering at the timer. A magnetic wiring cover protects your connections from weather.

We Make Installation Easy:

Simple Hanging Bracket

Hang the B-hyve XR indoors or outdoors with a simple bracket - you just need a screw.

Push-Fit Wiring

Robust and simple push-and-go wiring terminals make set-up a snap. No fiddling with tiny screwdrivers to tighten the terminals.

Built-in bubble level allows for picture perfect mounting – the first time.

Annoying light

The display lighting is very bright and lights up my yard at night. There really needs to be a way to extinguish or at a minimum dim the lights.
I have also had the app freeze up on occasion.

Our Customer Care team is happy to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have about our timers and to help with using our app. We can be reached by phone at (800)488-6156 or online at support.orbitonline.com.

This was a warranty replacement for our first XR. Both units failed to complete programs, stopping at different points in the cycles. Untrustworthy.

Broken devise

The devise I ordered didn’t work. Took a while lots of calls but Orbit finally sent me a new replacement. As soon as we connected it it worked.

Advanced Controller

Use of this controller is entirely driven by the quality of the software used to access it. And the software is very good. You can do everything from simple timed zone control to advanced smart watering. I've found that the advanced approach tends to over water a tad so only use it for my sunnier patches to augment the normal schedule. Living in Colorado, water is scarce and must be managed well.
I love that I can control the zones remotely which helps when doing repairs.
My original unit was purchased in Sept of 2023 after my old unit blew a transformer. I didn't figure out how to turn off the unit so left it on all winter and just disabled the programs. After a full season of using the unit, figured out how to turn it off. It was plugged into a power strip to help protect it, but it failed to power up this spring following the manuals steps. Tried following the troubleshooting steps with no success.. Orbit warranty was fantastic and shipped me a new controller - which has been working perfectly. Still concerned about powering down the system per instructions, and it now coming back. This is the reason for only 4 stars. I'm going to try just unplugging it at the end of this season to see how that works...
The price has dropped by 50% on the system since I first purchased on Amazon. For the money, I think this is the best system out there.
