The B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer with Wi-Fi hub gives you complete control over hose faucet watering from your smart device. No more dead plants because you forgot to water them. No more soggy lawns because you forgot to turn the water off . Download the free Android or iOS B-hyve App or use your computer with a Wi-Fi connection to program your timer.
Orbit B-Hyve Wi-Fi Tap Timer (Valve Only) can be operated via Bluetooth if the Hub is not purchased.
The Wi-Fi connection allows you to make changes to your programming from anywhere and allows the timer to receive instant weather updates. With instant updates, the timer will adjust the watering scheduling delivering just the right amount of water to your plants; this avoids wasting water with the added benefit of saving on your water bill. Manual watering is available on the timer so you can water without using your phone.
Note: Before purchase, it is a good idea to test the wifi signal strength at the proposed hub installation location. We recommend using the AirPort Utility app for iPhone or the WiFi Analyzer app for Android. The closer the reading is to zero the better. If the reading reaches near to -70 then a signal booster will be required.
Add on additional smart valves to create multiple watering zones in your yard, these timers will network together to boost the signal strength without the use of repeaters.

In rare applications, like on a wall under a well covered patio where the space is 100% dry all the time & not exposed to the sun, an indoor controller will continue to operate without issue. But if you’re not sure, we recommend installing an outdoor model. If something does go wrong with your controller due to water damage or the LCD screen failing from sun exposure, the warranty is voided so it’s not worth the risk.
Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.
Domestic irrigation controllers will always operate zones one at a time. Even if you try to operate 2 to come on at the same time, the controller will automatically delay the operation of the second zone until after the first zone has finished running.
In some states a rain sensor is mandatory, but regardless it’s something you should include in your irrigation system. Having your system turn on in the middle of a day of rain is not only embarrassing, it’s a terrible waste of water & the overwatering is bad for your garden!
