Sprinklers are on in the rain
Can someone explain why my system is running although it is raining this morning most of the time it is an automatic rain delay when this happened
Weather is faulty
I have my only PWS weather station and it needs changing from it to one 15kms away after I set it to mine.
If this can be resolved it would be a great app.

Love this product
Works just like advertised. Great when you have multiple zones.
The app keeps crashing
Whenever I go to my devices and pick a device I ALWAYS get booted out of the app. Hard to change my settings when I’m outside the app
New gen 2 devices not reliable
Had several gen 1 controls, and like all big companies they had to change to make you buy new ones. Those new ones are always disconnecting. They're completely unreliable. The gen 1 I have are solid as a rock. Stick with gen 1 as long as you can.
App is nice, device not so much.
This thing is super easy to use but goes through batteries so quickly. Kinda negates the practicality of using something a device like this.
WiFi Issue!!!!!
Does not connect WiFi properly!
Controller
Love B-hyve. Replaced old 1970’s controller with B-hyve about 3 years ago. No negatives, only positives!
Updates and changes are horrible.
We are no longer able to set a personal weather station for weather information. Every time I talk to someone they say they are working on the issue but it’s been months now with no resolution. My yard goes off of a weather station 10 miles away and doesn’t get accurate readings from that.
Worry-free irrigation
I have been using the B-hyve irrigation control for a couple of years and loving it. With multiple schedules, I can tailor the irrigation based on the time of the year. I was initially skeptical of the rain delay feature, but it works like a charm and I don’t have to waste water when nature is taking care of the irrigation.

Hit and miss
Sometimes the unit stops working and it doesn’t alert you. I had lost several hundred dollars of new plants because of this. They didn’t reimburse or send a new unit. They offered a 10% off coupon but the CA rebate was better. I put the new unit in and again the unit is disconnected. They need to add a feature to alert the owner when it is disconnected. When it’s working good it’s great.

Watering Wonder
Love the B-Hyve automatic watering system, works wonders
Quirky. Works mostly
It takes a little time to get used to the app. I find it a little unintuitive. For example, some settings are buried too far into the menus like the controller device settings. I also had the app stop working while I was traveling and after I got home, I still could not get it working until I used google ai to help me troubleshoot - found the backend support portal at https techsupport.orbithyve.com and clicked ‘repair connection’ for the controller then deleted the app on my iphone, restarted my iphone, then reinstalled the app and logged in again to fix the login hang issue.

I finally moved on from this piece of junk
This thing was nothing but problems. It finally developed a short so that the battery tray could not be fully installed. I’ve moved on and I’m happily deleting the app and already threw away the timer. Caveat emptor.
Kinda works
The “smart watering” is weird to program. I’m always having to check on why it’s Not watering
WiFi stops
After a couple years the WiFi seems to stop working. I even bought the new generational hub but that didn’t solve the issue. In order to dry it to run I have to stand near the inside hub or by the unit on the hose and manually start it. This kind of defeats the purpose of having an irrigation system. I’m transitioning to Rainpoint. Can’t seem to get help from Orbit on solving this issue.

Rain delays
Too many rein delsys like this AM and Jax had no Rsin yesterday! I can no longer trust your app. POS.
Work good
I have put my sprinklers on schedule and it works perfectly.
B hyve timer
This timer is one of the best things I have got for my yards
Rain delay not working
We got 2 inches of rain yesterday and my sprinklers went off this morning
