What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the smart watering timer for intuitive setup, app-based control, and weather-aware scheduling that automates irrigation across multiple zones. Many highlight remote Wi-Fi management and convenient automation as major upgrades. However, several report persistent Bluetooth connectivity issues with limited range and frequent disconnections requiring app restarts. Some describe sudden failures after weeks or months, raising durability concerns, while others note plastic build quality issues. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the automation features worthwhile and appreciate years of reliable operation when the system functions properly.

Perfect for watering my lawn in different zones. I am not able to do inground irrigation in Alaska so this was a perfect solution. I even integrated this into HomeAssistant to control locally with the rest of my home automation equipment.

Unreliable
Would Not RecommendWe have now owned 3 of these (orbit keeps replacing them). In all 3, one of the ports will not shut off and thus drains our well as we set these to run over night to water our lawn. Very unrelaible.
Works well
Would RecommendI tried setting it up from my phone but hit a glitch and wouldn't let me proceed. I text back and forth with the help desk. In the end it was suggested I manually set it. Once set it works well. Would recommend
Works well remotely
Would RecommendThis, combined with the bluetooth hub, is working very well to water our newly planted trees at a vacation home.

Constantly replacing batteries...
Would Not RecommendI've had this for over a year and the first season was great and I only replaced the batteries once. This season, I've had it set up just 2 months and I've been replacing the batteries weekly. I tried troubleshooting online but can only find it may be update related. Don't bother with this one.

3rd Spring
Would RecommendWhat you WANT TO KNOW...Does it last? Well, this is my 3rd spring with the same b-hyve digital timer and it has worked great. We put it away in the middle of fall until spring but have it up from late spring to middle of fall. Still works the exact same as I left it, so I just attach the hoses and run the programs. Everything works as it should.
Product did not work, Customer Service jerked me around for an hour and wanted to keep putting me on hold multiple times. Return to store, will not buy their products.

Great timer, missing connectivity
Would RecommendThis hose timer is well-built, and works great. there's a reassuring "clunk" when an outlet turns on or off, indicating that the plumbing inside is sturdy. Sadly, the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi features SUCK. I downloaded the app to my Android phone,but it is unable to find the timer. BLUETOOTH: Does not work. The Bluetooth symbol on the timer display is flashing, indicating it is trying to pair, and Bluetooth is enabled on my phone (known to work -- I can make phone calls using my car radio). But th...
