User reviews

Terrible

This is so bad I can’t believe they still offer it. This app does nothing other than allow your input and then recommend to you what schedule you should water. And even that recommendation is way off base. With how bad this one is, I wouldn’t think of purchasing one. Oh- and it doesn’t allow you to control your times from your phone, just in case anyone was wondering.

Run from this app.

Garbage

All this app does is take control of your system and leave you out of the decision making process

Poor product

I bought this with high hopes, never got past the app. It does NOT let you set your own watering schedule. False advertising.

Trash.I wanted a timer I could turn on and off from where ever I’m am. Don’t want to have to have a schedule.they are a rip off.its trash

This free APP is a scam

There is almost NOTHING in this APP. You can’t even set your zone times. It’s offering this is a scam that allows them to say the B-Hyve comes with a “free” APP. But if you actually want something useful, you have to pay $10 for the pro APP. Shame on you Orbit, just another typical modern day company deploying scams to get another buck from unsuspecting customers.

The app utilizes historical evapotranspiration data to understand daily water loss by plants and how often they need replenishment. It also considers your sprinkler head type to calculate precipitation rates, ensuring the right amount of water is applied to fill soil reservoirs without causing runoff.

Yes, the b·hyve lite app is available for free. It offers valuable features for optimizing sprinkler usage and conserving water without any cost to the user.

Can this app control my sprinklers automatically?

The b·hyve lite app provides programming help and schedules, but it does not directly control your sprinklers. For automatic control and remote operation via your phone, tablet, or computer, you would need to connect a b·hyve Wifi Smart Sprinkler Timer.
