Thank you. Watering history is in the wrong menu. Home page or program page would make more sense as they are device specific. Also switching devices is a pain. Should be able to do that on any device specific tab. ### 3/5 — Has potential *2026-08-21, version 3.0.58* It often times glitches out. For example, you can look at your moisture levels and it’ll say 40/50%, but then the next day (after no rain or watering), it’ll say 100%. Or, if you have multiple schedules throughout the year and are set by dates, it’ll go to a different watering cycle even though those dates don’t apply… several more issues, but two worthy of writing ### 2/5 — No Longer Supports Alexa *2026-08-21, version 3.0.58* I loved being able to use automation with my Alexa and after an update this feature no longer works and it was the selling point for me. ### 2/5 — Pretty ok *2026-08-21, version 3.0.58* I have the 2 zone system and only one works. The one zone works great. ### 5/5 — Overall Great WiFi Sprinkler system *2026-08-20, version 3.0.58* This controller is very easy to set up and Program. I am able to control my home irrigation as well as my vacation home on the App. All in all a very solid device - extremely easy to install. And the app is also fairly easy to set up and does 95% of what I want and 100% of what I need. I fully recommend this - my son got one and loves his as well. Family Approved!! JW ### 5/5 — Best watering system ever *2026-08-20, version 3.0.58* Easy to use and thinking ahead ! ### 5/5 — Small irrigation system set up *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* I've never had such a good experience with irrigation equipment, intuitive app software and setup, including the Bluetooth communications aspect. I have a few decades of developing and using such systems and as a rule I do not do reviews, but in this case I was moved to do so because I feel this deserves recognition. ### 5/5 — Very Handy *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* Best irrigation supply investment I’ve made in a long time! Makes doing repairs in the yard very easy by being able to test any zone remotely. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* We really love our b-hyve. We’ve had it for about 2 years now, and since this is our recreational home it is really important to us. We also have cameras in the yard so we can also check the accuracy of the unit. And prove that it is running smoothly. Or just sit inside the home to remotely turn it on without going outside to manually turn on. They did recently change to a new app which through the app off. But we reloaded the app and back in business. I highly rate the b-hive.... Fantastic system! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* Hands down the best irrigation system there is. Flawless!! ### 5/5 — B-have *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* Got my B-have about month ago for my sprinkler system had an older one that I couldn’t control while on vacation, I love having the app on my phone can control from anywhere. One of the best parts is that when it rains it will adjust the program to run according.Couldn’t be more happier!!! ### 5/5 — Texas Hot *2026-08-18, version 3.0.58* Time saver around my place! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible product *2026-08-23, version 3.0.58* Terrible product, super complex to use ### 1/5 — Rain sensors *2026-08-23, version 3.0.58* My system has multiple issues recognizing rain.
