Review: Easy to use - some wiring required if no outlet - I had the indoor B Hyve unit at my previous home and it worked really well, so when I moved I ordered this one to replace a Hunter controller that was on the exterior of the house. One thing to note that the instruction booklet does not cover (but I found videos for on YouTube) is that you can hardware this unit if you have a pump relay rather than an outlet. It involved opening the unit, undoing the wiring in the transformer to remove the power cord, and wiring the pump relay power to the units transformer. It’s simple enough to not need an electrician, labeling the wires helps. The B Hyve fired right up and setting up the zones and schedule took 5 minutes. I like how the app checks the weather and can set a delay automatically, versus the rain sensor on the old hunter unit that did not always trigger the rain delay. So far I am liking this model more than the indoor only model I had previously, as this one includes a screen and button controls. You can still control it via Bluetooth if the WiFi is out, but I am always in favor of having physical buttons as an option. Overall I am pleased with it.
Review: Great Value, Easy Install & Set Up - First of all I wanted to mention that this Orbit controller is EPA WaterSense approved and certified. If you live in a part of the country where conserving water is encouraged, the city or area you live in may offer a rebate/or credit just for installing this Orbit system. The city In AZ where I live offers a $75.00 credit towards your water bill which makes this unit even more of a great value. Be sure and check out that possibility. I replaced a much older Orbit system controller (20 years, still working) with this unit mainly for the convenience of being able to control it literally from anyway with the easy to use phone app. Love that feature. We are gone for long periods of time and it is hard sometimes to out think the weather so remote access is a super benefit when we need it. Because I have used Orbit controllers for many years I will give you my straight forward summary of this smart Orbit controller: Pros: Great value, saves water and money, potential municipal rebate, very easy to install, easy to program, adjust, program, turn on, turn off, monitor from your tablet or phone, and if located outside can be locked with the included keys, Cons: Nothing comes to mind My vast experience with water controllers over the years gives me the confidence to say that if you are in the market for a high quality and long lasting water control product, I would highly recommend this new smart sense Orbit B Hyve controller. Personally I don't think you can get much better than this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: To the manufacturer (unless someone has inside info): If and when will it be google assistant compatable? If coming soon, I would buy today.**
A: Looked on the Orbit web site, discussion board - lots posted there about this subject:  seems there is lots of frustration about Orbit not providing an ETA for google home/assistant compatibility.  AND, again, according to Orbit's posts - they are not sure if google home compatibility will be a software upgrade or if WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW 2ND GENERATION UNIT.

**Q: Can you connect a rain sensor to this device?**
A: Yes, the timer supports a physical rain sensor in addition to the smart watering rain delays. The app does not currently recognize the physical rain sensor but the timer will work properly. Unplug the timer before connecting any external accessories including rain sensors.

**Q: will it run with android phone?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this work with Samsung Smartthings?**
A: Currently this does not. The only smart home system this works with is the Amazon Echo

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why pay $400 when B-hyve delivers!
*by M***O on November 25, 2016*

I purchased this to replace a dying Rainbird. I figured if I was going to buy a new one, might as well upgrade a little. I did a lot of comparisons, watched plenty of YouTube videos that compared many units side by side. Some brands ranged as high as $400. I only have 3 zones so I was not looking for a zone heavy unit, although this brand offers up to 12 zones (I purchased the 6 zone model). I have had the unit for a few weeks now and this is what I think thus far: - Installation was very easy. Actually, I installed it at night with a flashlight in about 20 min! I needed a drill with a concrete bit and a screwdriver. - I was pleasantly surprised to see it came with a handy small screwdriver to attach the wires internally which I will add were conveniently located. - Punching the hole in the housing was a little challenging, but I appreciated it as well. I ended up using a very fine drill bit and making a number of perforations around the hole I wanted to knock out. It took a little effort, but I really didn't mind it. - Once I powered it on, I downloaded the app (search for Orbit) and went through the instructions pretty seamlessly. I had seen a YouTube where the installer had a hard time getting the app to connect, but I did not have a single hiccup, in fact, I was impressed with how easy it was. - I have yet to touch a dial or press any of the buttons as the app allowed me to program everything very easily and I was up and running in just a few minutes. - I can now control my sprinklers from work or anywhere in the world (which is excessive in my opinion). Tips: - Smart watering is the best part about it. It was slightly challenging setting this up. You basically need to go into the zone, activate smart watering for that zone, and provide as much information to the app as possible. It connects to the internet and knows forecasted temperatures and chance of rain. Based on these and your location, it will take over and water your grass (based on type of plant/grass) and take the guess work out of how often to water and for how long. You can even indicate any watering restrictions your community/city might have such as even/odd number, # of days in a week, specific days you are allowed to water, and finally start time. There is a calendar feature that will record historical data and advise when the next watering day will be. You can very easily adjust it or rain delay right from the app. - I like that you can use the app anywhere you have an internet connection (even if its not on the same wifi network). This allows me to test zones pretty easily without having to run back and forth to the box. It will even send me an alert on my phone when watering is complete. - The system is expandable as well. You can add water sensors throughout your lawn that will directly and accurately communicate to the B-hyve the moisture level in your lawn. If you spend some money on the catch cups, you can perfectly calibrate your sprinklers as well (this is a bit too advanced for my 3 zone home) - The B-hyve works great for a mixed zone system. For example, if you have a zone for your grass, another for your bushes, and a thrid as a drip system for a garden. The B-hyve can be set to smart water all these zones independently and it understands the difference between a drip garden system and a grassy lawn on a clay foundation. - The only thing missing from this unit is for it to connect to Amazon Echo's Alexa, but then again, do I really need Alexa when B-hyve is doing its job?
