Bring Smart to Your YardTurn any outdoor faucet into an app-controlled water source that can help you save time, water and money. |
Bluetooth ConnectivityProgram and control your watering while within the 150-foot range of your B-hyve Bluetooth Timer. |
Easy Wi-Fi UpgradeAdd a B-hyve Hub (model 21004 - sold separately) to enable Wi-Fi features, giving you complete control of your watering from anywhere. |

B-hyve Network MeshingIf you want to use multiple B-hyve timers in different locations, network meshing (only available with B-hyve Hub) expands the strength of your signal, extending it to your entire B-hyve system. This allows you to effectively manage your entire yard while minimizing inefficient water use. |
Know the FlowThe built-in flow meter lets you know how much water you are using to water your plants, wash your car, or fill your pool. This allows you to water by volume, not just by time. B-hyve also controls watering by seconds, making it ideal not only for gardens, but also for hydroponics and greenhouse applications. |
Expandable SystemControl one or multiple timers with the B-hyve app. Combined with the network meshing enabled connections (only available with B-hyve Hub – sold separately), the timers will communicate with each other to ensure they don’t water simultaneously. |

B-hyve Wi-Fi HubWithout a B-hyve Wi-Fi smart hub (#21004 or 21006), this timer is limited in its functionality and applications. Invest a little extra to get a lot more out of your new hose timer. |
Garden HoseNow that you've picked your timer, get a professional-grade hose that's durable and long enough to reach where you need to go. Get one hose per valve/timer. |
Hose Manifold AdapterSometimes you may have more than one area that needs water. A splitter gives you flexibility so you don't keep having to move back and forth every time. |
Lawn SprinklerA smart watering timer is a great start - now just make sure you also get the sprinkler that's best-suited for the size and shape of your lawn. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We bought the first 3 in the spring and installed them knowing that a) I was going to be away from my flowers for the summer and B) my husband was in charge of keeping the new sod and said flowers alive.
When I got home from my 3 month hiatus my flowers were mostly alive... my husband decided to play with the system why trying to deal with thing b. So, thats not really orbits fault, but it is... let me explain: the reason he began to mess with these was because one died. Being that this whole automation thing is *my* thing, and not his- he had no idea what he was doing and wound up flooding my plants, killing the sod, etc. He LOVES that things work, but 98% of the time I am the one who is researching, purchasing and setting up.
So, here I am, July, finally able to deal with it.. and I try to fix it. The thing still claims its connected to the hub, the app acts as though the box is watering stuff, but the lights aren't on and nobody is home inside the control box. So, what do I do? I go to orbits website and follow the links to make a warranty claim. I assume its going to be worse than the camera's he broke while I was gone.. but it was easier...
So I begin to tell the automated messaging what is going on. and apparently I'm giving it to much detail but it has LITERALLY taken longer to write this review than it took to do the claim. I got a giftcard to replace it, which was MORE than the like-replacement, so I ordered 2 more.
Because heck, if they are going above and beyond to replace a product that is defective, I'm throwing ALL my money at them.
Sure, the app is wonky, but its usable and does 9 out of 10 things I need it to do (I really need soil sensors that can be integrated orbit!) I was worried when I first got the bhyve box's because I had one of orbits mechanical timers that blew out suddenly. I was hoping that paying a bit more would save me in repotting my plants for the fall. Indeed, it did. Only 2 pots died on his watch!
But overall, in home automation the app is pretty standard imo. Its complicated, but more that the app was made for the more "expensive" version, aka, in ground sprinklers. I've watched my nextdoor neighbor fuss with his every year, I'm going to stick to my garden hoses and these little guys for life at this point!
In the b-hyve app there is a bunch of stuff about "zones" - this type of b-hyve only has 1 zone (others have multiple zones within one faucet device, and the app is able to work with any of them). I bought 2 of these and couldn't get them to work right, tech support helped me basically learn to ignore the confusing zone options.
Once it is working in the b-hyve app, you can set the timers. The "smart watering" is super useful because if you set it right, the app will tell the device not to water on days when it rains. You could run the device as a scheduled timer in alexa, but that wouldn't use smart watering.
So how to make it work with alexa?
In the b-hyve app if you name it something like "backyard," you can use that to talk through alexa.
In the alexa app, open skills and install the b-hyve skill.
Problem is, B-hyve is super picky about how you speak to it. Like if you want it to just turn on, you have to say exactly "alexa, ask b-hyve to water backyard for ten minutes."
That's obnoxious, so I opened the alexa routines and created a new routine. I told it to listen and when I say "water backyard," then added the action "custom." This is the way you can make alexa tell itself longer commands. So here I typed "ask beehive to water back yard for ten minutes." Notice I spelled b-hyve different, because alexa had difficulty understanding how to pronounce words that aren't real words. It didn't respond until I changed the spelling. Now, alexa says "beehive" (it says this silently, to the other app) but the b-hyve skill hears it as "b-hyve" and correctly calls through the settings of its own app. (This is probably a bug in the b-hyve skill because they didn't test it with a custom action.)
Anyway, after setting this up, all I need to say is "alexa, water backyard."

Make sure you update all your devices to the most current software version.
The hub which connects your Bluetooth valves to your wifi needs to be in relative proximity on the inside of your house to the exterior location of your valves. Signal connection between the two had no issues even through 2’ stone walls. The valves communicate with each other creating a mesh which increases stability.
Figure out where your valves will be to calculate how many hubs you need for larger systems. I needed 8 more valves and 2 more hubs so I purchased 2 Orbit 21044 b-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer 4-Packs each included a hub and a 4 way Hose Manifold. There are different b-hyve packages on Amazon so figure out the most economical way to get what you need.
Although the b-hyve software isn’t great, (at times it can be downright frustrating) setup is easy. Download the app, add your hubs and valves (this part is a little frustrating as there are redundancies that could be avoided even with having an auto fill option). Regardless setup process is worth it, as this system gives you great flexibility and functionality with your watering schedules.
I set up multiple watering schedules for each zone each day in order to supply water to each plant when they need it most while maintaining water pressure to the house for high usage times.
You can setup your own watering schedules or use the WeatherSense® feature for watering based on live weather feeds through wifi connection. I was hesitant to try the smart watering feature while I was away but upon my return I found it was very useful and reliable.
Overview
I like being able to easily change schedules remotely especially useful when you are figuring out the water requirements for new situations. The app lets you attach a photo of the actual zone for easy reference of each zone.
Smart watering saves water, as well as adjusting watering to specific soil and seasonal weather conditions preventing overwatering and allowing you to fine tune each zone to its specific needs.
Overall this is by far the best system I have used.
