I contacted Ortbit customer service and they said I needed to set the “interval start date.” Well in the app that I have, there is no interval start date. I set the unit up to water my trees every two weeks and when the time to water comes, nothing happens. I use this app on the Orbit B-Hyve XR and it works as it should for daily watering but the interval watering does not work. Please let us know if you have questions or problems.ĪLEXA – Works with Alexa.

This is also the companion app for homeowners with the Hydro-Rain B-hyve Pro Wifi Controller. This is the app for the best-selling, WaterSense and SWAT certified Orbit B-hyve Smart Wifi Sprinkler Timer. 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. The B-hyve app also integrates the award-winning irrigation audit tool right to your smart device. This will shut off your system during the rain and resume your program when the rain has passed. 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. If you want to be the one in control of the schedule, that’s okay too. 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. That’s smart! But all yards are not the same. 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. 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. When set and left in smart watering mode, B-hyve can save users as much as 50% more water over a traditional controller. 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. Knowing how long and how often to water your plants can be challenging. Some zones/heads have a ton of overlap.The B-hyve smart sprinkler timer app allows you to control or monitor your sprinklers from anywhere in the world with the convenience of your smart device. Today I replaced a few leaking sprinkler heads and adjusted everything.

What’s nice about the ‘smart watering’ program is that it takes my local forecast in consideration and outs on automatic rain delays and such.īut, I’m wondering if I’m better off setting my own manual programming or utilizing this controllers ‘smart’ programming? I presume it’s to let all of that initial watering soak through. The Orbit ‘smart watering’ program has my zones running from 8-20 min each, then after all 8 run, its running them all for a second cycle. Such as soil type, sprinkler head type, turf type, slope, etc. I have 8 zones and ran through each zone on the app, inputting different algorithms that are asked in the smart watering programming. So, I just picked up an Orbit B-Hyve smart controller to replace my VERY dated controller.
