Smart Watering With Advanced Algorithms

B-hyve rain delay

Wi-fi timer

B-hyve app

b-hyve zones

Adjusts to Local Weather

Smart watering sets automatic delays for rain, wind and freezing temperatures, even when running a traditional program, saving you water and money.

B-hyve can automatically check your local weather conditions many times each day, recalculate the soil moisture level in each zone, and then make smart choices about when and how long to water.

Rebate Eligible

B-hyve complies with EPA WaterSense weather-based irrigation controller protocols, which qualifies it for a rebate from water agencies and cities in many locales. See the B-hyve rebate center for eligibility. ​

To locate the B-hyve rebate center, simply search in your browser for "B-hyve rebate center" and enter your zip code.

WeatherSense Technology

Your B-hyve looks ahead at the weather forecast, shuts off water during rain, then recalculates your watering schedule.

In the event of rain, high wind, or freeze, B-hyve automatically delays watering until normal conditions return and then recalculates the appropriate watering schedule, helping you take advantage of beneficial rainfall and saving water.

Custom Schedules and Zones

Take pictures and name each of your zones on the B-hyve app.

Allows for up to four custom watering schedules tailored to diverse types of zones in the landscape. Includes multiple start times which allows creation of cycle and soak windows to encourage water infiltration into your soil.

Manual run feature on app and at device allows you to run one zone, select zones or programs, or all zones for a specified length of time, which is very convenient for zone testing or supplemental watering even when you might not have your smartphone handy​.

B-hyve app

Welcome To The Smart Yard

The B-hyve Smart EPA WaterSense Labeled Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Controller provides smart control over your sprinkler and drip systems with up to 12 zones. It is part of the B-hyve Smart water management device ecosystem which includes smart landscape controllers, hose faucet timers, flow meters, leak detectors and mainline shutoffs.

Smart not only means that you can control B-hyve from your smartphone, B-hyve WeatherSense technology makes it weather smart. When connected to Wi-Fi, B-hyve automatically checks your local weather conditions many times each day, recalculates the soil moisture level in each zone, and then makes smart choices about when and how long to water. In the event of rain, high wind, or freeze, B-hyve will delay watering until normal conditions return and then will calculate the appropriate watering schedule, helping take advantage of beneficial rainfall and saving water.

It is also rebate eligible. See the B-hyve rebate center for eligibility.

Display and Control

Three full-color, active-matrix displays and watering light ring show weather and watering status by zone.

Bluetooth and 2.4/5 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi ensure reliable connectivity and control

Easy Installation

Installation is as simple as mounting the timer on the wall, putting the common wire (typically white wire) in the C terminal and the individual zone wires in each of the numbered station terminals, plugging in the power cord, and setting the schedules.

Push wire terminals allow for tool-less insertion and removal of the wires.

The recommended standard sprinkler wire for this timer is 18-guage thickness with 5 or 7 strands/wires.

Well Thought Out Irrigation Controller
5 Stars
Well Thought Out Irrigation Controller
I replaced a 25 year old RainBird 16 zone controller with the Bhyve 16 Zone Controller. It has been active for a couple of weeks and I will follow up periodically with additional comments.I can say, today, that the installation, integration and configuration of the system was intuitive and well documented. The instructions were a bit sparse at first glance but soon became secondary as the device self connects, via the iOS application on my phone. The configuration of the device and the programming of irrigation strategies was very straightforward. The system was operational about 2 hours including securing the device to my brick wall and adding a GFi receptacle.I have an outside, "Access Point", for my WIFI that is very robust and had no difficulties finding and maintaining a good connection. I suspect there could be challenges if your WIFI connection is not strong.Connecting the old wiring to the Bhyve is vey straightforward. Requiring only stripped wire ends, each connection is made by pressing a pushbutton, inserting a wire into a small hole under the pushbutton and releasing the button. Please note the "common" connections, one on each bank of 8 control outputs. Typically this is where you will connect the white wires in the wire bundles coming from your valves.Having made the connections, I used the App to test each zone. Being able to walk around the yard and start and stop the various zones is VERY useful.I then programed the device, again via a very good user interface on my phone. 16 zones completed in less than 5 minutes.The system automatically located and integrated the local weather forecast to monitor for rain forecasts. on several occasions the system has, "pushed", the day's irrigation because of rain being forecast. Note that you can always force the delayed irrigation with one click.I like getting the updates on my phone informing me of the start of the day's schedule, it's completion or its delay. There is a certain Kool factor for me in seeing this sort of update.I had a bit of a challenge integrating the Bhyve with my ALEXA account, not realizing you have to add the, "Alexa Skill" to your home Alexa Account. When I added the skill everything connected seamlessly. Note to Orbit: A bit more in the instruction sheet about the ALEXA connection would be helpful.I have not used the, "Smart Watering", programming capabilities built into the software. There are no restrictions in the use of water for irrigation in Auburn, Al.All in All, the Bhyve System was a easy install, and has performed as expected. I wanted to share my experience and will update this in 6 months to share my longer term take on its performance.Bill...Southern Smoke.
