Overview

Features & Capabilities

B-hyve is a smart sprinkler timer app that lets you control and monitor your sprinklers from anywhere using your phone or tablet. It features Smart Watering that uses local weather data and yard characteristics (soil type, sun/shade, slope) to automatically schedule irrigation and save water—potentially up to 50% less water compared with traditional timers.

WeatherSense and weather-based irrigation override give you flexibility to adjust or pause watering during rain and resume afterward. An Integrated Irrigation Audit Tool helps you measure actual water application with catch-cup testing so you know exactly how much water you’re using. This app is the official companion for Orbit B-hyve hardware and supports Alexa commands for hands-free control.

This is the best timer I’ve ever had. So simple and intuitive. Just purchased another. Highly recommend.

I replaced my 20 year lawn timer with the B-Hyve. It was easy to switch out and re-install all 6 color coded zone wires. What I love is the Wi-Fi function. I set all zones and time with my cell phone. I can turn on any zone with my iPhone even if I’m out of town. I also have a B-hyve garden garden timer and I use my phone to set days and water times. We can go on vacation and the B-have timers take care of front and back yards as well as my garden. 💕 Love our B-hybrid timers
