What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the remote control capability for managing sprinkler timers from their smartphone, calling it transformative for lawn care convenience. Most highlight seamless setup, reliability, and the rain delay feature as standout benefits. However, many report Bluetooth range limitations beyond 100 feet and Wi-Fi connectivity issues, particularly with 5GHz networks. Several note the app feels underdeveloped with occasional drops, and documentation lacks key setup steps. A small group experienced complete connection failures or found the product not worth the cost. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it essential for existing timer owners.

Would RecommendThis takes all the guess work out of how much long to run my sprinklers. It also makes connecting to my sprinklers so much easier. Before I had to go outside to be near my controller. Now I can connect to my sprinklers from anywhere. It is nice I don’t have to worry about turning off my sprinklers because it’s going to rain. It is well worth the cost.

Not worth it
Would Not RecommendThis thing is worthless. While it's connected to WIFI the signal is so weak it won't stay connected to the smart hose timer. Always having to connect to bluetooth. I've done all the troubleshooting that can be done and still rarely able to connect remotely. Dont't waste your money.

Worthwhile add-on for sure.
Would RecommendThis is awesome. It connects to the. b-hyve 4 port via Bluetooth then into my phone via Wi-Fi. I went out of town for four days and I was able to monitor everything and since I played a new grass, I was able to start a zone manually.

Would RecommendHad problem connecting to my watering system. Had to plug this in on the porch but it worked like a charm. Well worth the $ to use your B-Hyve properly.

Great Tech Advance for Watering
Would RecommendConnects quickly and has a great range. This lets me control 3 of the b hive 4 nozzle timers sitting at my desk from my IPAD. I am not tech savvy, but this was really simple to set up.

stop selling this
Would Not RecommendThe app no longer works. can't log in, create account, or reset password. customer service email fails. without the app, this product is useless.
Connectivity is a major bonus
Would RecommendThis is essential to connect to multiple controllers to set and monitor watering programs from anywhere. Automatic rain delays was a pleasant surprise feature.

Frustrated with my application. Not reliable.
Would Not RecommendThe B-Hyve App seems more suited to fixed sprinklers than individual timers. I had a bunch of Gen 1 Smart Timers. One broke, so had to replace with a Gen 2, then had to get a Gen 2 Hub to connect to my home. The installation is a pain. The Smart Timers sometimes seem to impede flow and Customer Service advice is "turn the cone filter screen around." It seems like that shouldn't matter that much. If I wasn't so invested, I would probably toss and try another brand.
