About this app

The B-hvye smart sprinkler timer app allows you to control or monitor your sprinklers from anywhere in the world with the convenience of your smart device.
Smart Watering
Knowing how long and how often to water your plants can be challenging. When set to smart watering mode, B-hyve takes the guesswork out of watering and utilizes Mother Nature, along with some really great technology, to determine the watering schedule for your yard. When set and left in smart watering mode, B-hyve can save users as much as 50% more water over a traditional controller.

Weather

When set in smart mode, B-hyve uses local weather data to determine how much water is evaporated and transpired through your plants each day to know when it needs to water. It also accounts for any rainfall that is in the forecast, shuts off the system for rain, then looks back to see how much actually fell. That’s smart! But all yards are not the same. B-hyve also takes into account things like soil type, plant type, sun/shade and slope to determine a watering schedule that takes the water to the roots and helps avoid runoff.

WeatherSense

If you want to be the one in control of the schedule, that’s okay too. With B-hyve you can set custom programs to water how you want while still taking advantage of the local weather data to override watering in case of a weather event. This will shut off your system during the rain and resume your program when the rain has passed. That’s smart!

Integrated Irrigation Audit Tool

The B-hyve app also integrates the award-winning irrigation audit tool right to your smart device. By performing a catch cup test on your sprinkler system, you will know exactly how much water is being applied rather than relying on estimated sprinkler head water use that other timers/apps use, which can be off by as much as 50%, saving you more water and money.

This is the app for the best-selling, WaterSense and SWAT certified Orbit B-hyve Smart Wifi Sprinkler Timer. This is also the companion app for homeowners to the Hydro-Rain B-hyve Pro Wifi Controller.

Ratings and reviews

Been using the app and controller for a few years. It's been really bad the last 2 yrs. My calendar will show zones did not run or ran for 20 mins, when they didn't. It's made us not trust any of the settings. Now any changes to a program are saved when you hit back. Super easy to accidentally hit 200%, then back and its saved. Using a Bhyve WT25E-0

It will not stay connected via Bluetooth. it's a freaking nightmare considering the main feature is control over Bluetooth! They probably bork that feature to force you to buy their Wi-Fi card in my opinion. The rest of the app is pretty good and intuitive. Fortunately I can program it manually and not have to use this app but what a waste of money...

1st year the app was great. Set it and forget it. However with the lastest updates, my lawn was being over watered, and the weather is reporting incorrect weather. Calling for rain so my sprinklers go on a rain delay, yet it's 80plus and no rain in sight. Changed my address and still did not fix the issues. Super disappointed, the whole reason I got this was for the features the app offered. At this point I'm better off manually watering.
