Great product!

Great product, easy to work with. Anyone can program. No need to deal with useless rain sensors that work for the first year and never again. Great product!

Waterme

Works as described. No issues around function and design.

Convenience

Beats going to a manual irrigation controller

B- hyve Friendly

This device is simply exact programming device for residential water sprinkling protocol. It is easy to use program and extremely user-friendly. My wife and I enjoy the use of B-hyve at home and away. We also love the real time intelligence of using local weather data for delaying the sprinkler based on amount of rain recorded in the area. Simply smart, and after three years of experience with B-hyve, it truly is that device for sprinklers

It’s great

Had some trouble at first with maintaining a persistent WiFi connection (late summer 2026) but I guess they made some sw improvements. Rain delay feature is usually on point, but easy to insert my own or stop for upcoming lawn mowing from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. That’s nice.

Issue can not connect to WiFi

Unable to connect unit to WiFi.

Love how easy it is

B-Hyve

Excellent app control. Helps me save water and I manually water as needed. Cut my water by 40%+.

Best sprikler

Perfect sprinkler system with smart option, 110 happy whit that!

Great w/ WiFi Hub

An easy to set up, program and use hose bib based irrigation system. I have a Rainbird WiFi enabled sprinkler controller as our main irrigation system. If you want similar access from a hose bib system this is a great product. It allows for remote access and it has smart adjustments as well minor complaint is that the batteries don’t last long.

Incredible performance

I am by far any type of a longtime software user, however this particular software is extremely easy to navigate,understand, and program . Nicely designed Thank you!

Did not detect rains in Rancho Cucamonga on 10/11/26. Unit kept sprinklers on.

Needs some processing fixes

The app just constantly gets stuck processing at that different phases the entire time through setup. This is like pulling teeth.

Rain detection feature is HORRIBLE

Plenty of times it will be raining or about to rain and this app decides to water my lawn. The problem is you have to pick a weather station from the list and the closest weather station is 20+ miles from my house.

Why can’t this app use hyper-local weather data just like the Apple weather app, AccuWeather, weather.com and the dozen or so other free weather apps? This really needs to be fixed.

Great Product!

Easy to install & use. I’d buy it again!

Excellent unit

We have had the B-hyve for years. The app and timer has been great! Easy to wire and program.

Changing soon

I'm going to change out the control box to hunter or something else. I can't even run two zones at once. So it's wasting time and electricity. I have to water each individual zone one at a time when I can water two zones at once and cover more ground in less time.

Glitchy

Doesn’t work as well as it should. Lots of bugs and glitches. Was great for years. But since Gen 2 came out and the app updated, it’s not constantly glitching and extremely frustrating.

Love this WiFi irrigation controller

This makes troubleshooting my sprinklers a breeze. Instead of walking back and forth to the control unit I can turn them on out in the yard and check to make sure everything is working properly.

Connection drops

The system of fairly good when it’s connected. But it does eat through batteries and constantly disconnects from my WiFi.
