The B-hyve Pro App provides landscape irrigation professionals with an easy way to manage and operate B-hyve Pro controllers from anywhere with the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. With the intuitive layout and design of the app, it is fast and easy to connect to any B-hyve Pro controller through WiFi or, if WiFi is not available, directly through Bluetooth right at the timer location. Once connected to WiFi, B-hyve can be set up in smart mode to assist in delivering the right amount of water to plants, saving clients water and money.
This is the companion App for award-winning B-hyve Pro irrigation controllers. Homeowners can download the non-Pro version of the B-hyve App at no charge.
***KEY FEATURES***
WIFI and BLUETOOTH – Because WiFi is not always available on a job site, the B-hyve app and controller allow you to set up and operate the controller using Bluetooth. Once a WiFi connection is established at a site, the owner of the WiFi router can provide a permission code that enables off-site management of the controller from anywhere in the world.
EPA- AND SWAT-CERTIFIED – Having passed the rigorous EPA WaterSense and SWAT certifications, the B-hyve Pro Controller with Smart Watering is certified to use water more efficiently and is eligible for rebates in many cities or water districts across the country.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING – You can set the controller to water in two basic ways: 1) on a fixed schedule, such as during a new landscape grow-in period; 2) with Smart Watering, and let local weather conditions determine the schedule.
MULTI-SITE MANAGEMENT – You can manage and control an unlimited number of B-hyve controllers from the convenience of one application. Once the timer is connected to the Internet, secure access can be shared in a number of different combinations using an app-generated code.
CATCH CUPS – With various water savings options integrated right into the app, there are multiple ways to achieve optimum water savings with the B-hyve Pro Timer. In addition to Smart Watering, it incorporates the award-winning catch-cup feature right into the app to deliver up to 25% more water savings over other smart controllers.
ALEXA – Works with Alexa. For a list of Alexa commands visit bhyve.hydrorain.com.
B-hyve Pro App Comments & Reviews
B-hyve Pro Positive Reviews
Useful app for IPhoneI have an IPad Pro and a Magic Keyboard. The app only supports portrait view. I know it's a pain to create a landscape view in X-Code, but if your going to charge ten bucks for a "Pro" version, you should go through the hassle of supporting landscape view. I'm also not seeing a lot of difference between the free version and the pro version. What's in the Pro version that isn't in the free version? The product is the real win here. I couldn't imagine using anything else now that I have the b-hyve. This is my second unit, I upgraded recently. It's great not having to think about when to water and oh wait... there's rain in the forecast, better remember to set it up to skip this scheduled watering. Not with this thing, it KNOWS when its going to rain because its connected to the internet and checks the weather. It lets you know that it is going to skip a scheduled watering because the weather forecast was predicting rain. Nothing worse than hearing the watering system come on when it's raining. This is especially true in Southern California where it's practically a crime to water when it's raining. This system should be mandatory in So Cal. The app makes it easy to adjust how much it waters a certain area. It makes it so easy to manage the process, practically a no brainer..Version: 3.0.41
Great Watering SystemWe absolutely love this watering system. We especially like the ability to water remotely plus changing individual zones to get more or less water is sooooo simple. Operating the BeeHive system is an absolute joy! I can change each zones watering schedule from my phone while sitting on my sofa! My husband has changed our system from his office in SLC! We honestly couldn’t be happier with the BeeHive watering system. It even shuts itself off if it’s raining. Love it!.Version: 3.0.38
It is OK, but for the price of the controller and Pay for the App I expected GreatI bought a 16 zone controller, and I attempted to use the regular app, but it was difficulty to use. I spoke to customer service who recommended I pay for the Pro App. It was more money down the drain. The app worked well until last month, and now I have trouble testing zones. I usually have to reset the app after I start testing the zone to stop it. It is a pain in the neck, when you’re trying to fix the sprinkler heads. I expect better from the app. Had a Rachio system at my old house and was better system for use..Version: 3.0.12
Adds flexibility to the wall unitI’ve been using the pro app for a week now. It was a little tricky to pair with the wall unit (had to start in Bluetooth mode then restart the wall unit several times to finally connect by wifi) - hence the four stars. But once it connected it has worked great. Super easy to use; very intuitive. I am glad it is available. The visual tools help you understand your watering regimen better than the wall unit and doing single-zone manual watering is easier with the app than with the wall unit. Overall a winner! 👍🏼.Version: 3.0.12
Watering made simpleI had a malfunctioning system that was frustrating me and wasting water.. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new system. I was not expecting to spend $10 on an app, that was disappointing, but I figured it was an investment and it would pay for itself over time. Within 5 min, I had all 4 areas wired and tested with the app. Day one, system informed me that it would rain within 24 hours, so system would skip a day... that’s what I call immediate results! Totally worth $10!.Version: 1.2.26
Best $ for $ system Read below⬇️⬇️Folks I may be a lot of things like slow reader but never a liar. The B-HYVE is the best priced bang for your buck home sprinkler system is hands down. No real tools or heavy digging required just a shovel, some sweat and a Saturday afternoon. This system will have your lawn greener than then money your spent and wetter than your jealous neighbor. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Reasons pro vs. con style Pros: •best directions with colored pictures (for slower readers) •esay push connect fitting for installation •quality materials (direct burial pex/uponor tubing cutting tool included and 6 sprayer heads • simple and efficient Bluetooth app • every parameter settings for you’re custom watering cycles • ease for adding separate or zone expansion • easy blow down and winterization process. Cons •B-HYVE outdoor control takes 2 AA BATTERIES • no batteries no worky •works best with internet connectivity.Version: 3.0.38
B-Hyve Pro is Awesome!Our B-Hyve Pro was installed in 2020 by Waterworks Irrigation. We have 14 zones which 3 of the zones are for drip irrigation. I use the WiFi feature 99.9% of the time to water our lawn or our gardens. There are times when our WiFi signal doesn’t extend to the garage where the B-Hyve controller is after I enter what we need done, but that’s not the controller’s fault. Since 5G started our WiFi signal has diminished. I have used the Manual zone watering the most (in Spring and Fall) and the Programming feature (mostly during the summer) especially for my wife’s gardens. I even have watered our lawn and gardens when we have been away for a long weekend and forgot to set a program. In 3 years we have had zero problems with B-Hyve Pro and would recommend spending the extra money on it. Good Luck Tom Rett Grand Rapids, Michigan.Version: 3.0.28
Very efficient system for a good priceThis is a simple system. If you’re a professional, you will appreciate all the features that this irrigation controller offers. I installed mine inside of a insulated box 3 years ago, and I never have a need to opened again. I do all the programming though the app. If you are a regular person, you will learn how to manage the system through the manual and the app in short time..Version: 3.0.23
Excellent devicesI’ve had several of the timers hooked up to my hoses and sprinklers for three years. Despite the brutal heat, they still work wonderfully. I love that I can leave out a sprinkler, set the timer and forget about it. It’s also perfect for times when I’m not in town…. No more dead plants and crispy grass! Today I added a mister that runs along the roof of my patio to one of the hose timers. It’s perfect! Cuts the heat and mists my patio plants at the same time..Version: 3.0.11
Life changerAs an owner of a large saltwater system I have to filter large amounts of water from the outside hose several times a month. No problem until it’s raining, cold, snowing whatever. Now I can sit in the comfort of my home and get the water running without the hassle. Not to mention when I build a watering system for the plants geez yeah at 1/10 the cost of a sprinkler system..Version: 3.0.20
Still buggyThe smart watering concept is cool but it still needs some help. For example, it’s been 100 degrees and sunny the past 10 days and for some reason the system thinks that even though my front lawn was watered two days ago the soil moisture is at 90%. Because of this it isn’t scheduled to run for a while. I’ve found that every so often it does this and I have to manually reset the moisture level to 0. Now I know I’m not actually measuring it, but when it’s this hot and dry I’m confident that two days without water doesn’t equal 90% moisture..Version: 1.2.22
A Mostly Sunny ReviewLove the automation and remote management possibilities, however, maintaining connectivity with the box when out of state is not reliable. The system still shows what the schedule is, but the notifications stop when I’m out of town. When I return home and stay in town the notifications resume. I would still recommend the App, and I’m optimistic that it will become even more useful..Version: 1.2.22
Easy to use and reliable sprinkler controllerThis controller is easy to set up and very easy to program. There are so many options, it is hard to imagine a situation that cannot be programmed. Because it is Wi-Fi connected, it can be controlled from anywhere. The online app makes reviewing and controlling your lawn watering programs from your iphone or iPad a snap..Version: 3.0.29
The B hive sprinkler control box.I wasn’t very impressed with the control box but there must have been some updates for improve the control. Was having issues with how to run the sprinkler only twice a day. But wasn’t a step for that. So I wanted 10 minutes per zone twice a day. But it wasn’t allowing me to make the adjustment. So i reduced down to 5 minutes per zone..Version: 1.7.2
Great appAt first I had issues figuring out how to use the app, but after some time I figured it out. Give it some time before you give up and you’ll be happy you did. setting up of programs is a breeze. You can also run programs manually which is nice if the lawn needs a bit more water. Lots of cool features but like I said, you’ll need to poke around to figure it out..Version: 1.2.26
This AIN’T your daddy’s rain bird!B-have Smart system was definitely the right choice. Simple to wire up…. A little work setting up perimeters, But once that’s done it does all the work. Chases your weather and adjusts everything accordingly. Water bill Will definitely like it. It will pay for itself if you have the old rainbird systems. Happy Watering!!! 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃.Version: 3.0.30
Far better than fooling with old controllerThe app is bulletproof. I easily switch between our yard and our neighbor’s, whose irrigation I manage. Very convenient and about the only problems we see are very rare network interrupts, once or twice a year. Simple reboot inevitably fixes things..Version: 3.0.30
Love the ideaI really like having an app that lets me control watering from my phone. The rain delay was a learning experience, however. We started seeing our grass turn brown. Didn’t know about the auto rain delay. When rain is forecasted in our area we rarely get more than a tiny sprinkle, so our grass was burning up with the near 100 degree days. I’ve turned off the smart watering now and hopefully we’ll get our grass back..Version: 1.2.22
Very inconsistent to connectMore difficult to control, update and maintain. The machine consistently will not connect. The firmware update doesn’t finish. Sorry, tired tonight and I can’t connect to shut it off to not water, so I’m unplugging power supply. I try again when fresh. Thought this would enable distant control. Even bought Pro app hoping it would work bwtter.Version: 2.0.8
Remote controlI love being able to control my sprinklers remotely! When I work on the sprinklers, I don’t have to run into the garage and turn them on and off each time. I can go ahead and do it from my phone while I’m working it makes it so much easier!.Version: 3.0.38
Absolutely!Just installed this controller. Amazed, truly amazed. Unlike so many other things, this just worked with no hassle or problems. Bluetooth liked up immediately. Then the WiFi, firmware update, then programming. Everything was smooth and exactly as it was supposed to work. Very user friendly, didn’t have to do and redo, and try again. It just absolutely work. What a joy. If it works like this over the next couple years, I’ll consider this the best deal in recent history. (No more comparisons to “since sliced bread!”).Version: 3.0.38
I have had this app for over a yearEverything was fine last year this year in the other hand is not fine. I even purchased the B-Hyve pro for $9.99 and it still doesn’t want to work correctly. Horrible app and bad controllers. I am sick and tired of having to reset everything just to get this to work..Version: 3.0.28
Not a very good appThis app is not very good. It lacks common sense. It is difficult to navigate. Perhaps the developers Can redo the app in terms of easy navigation and workflow. Perhaps they can even come out with a feature that allows one to quickly turn on and off or pause while fixing repairs. That would be very helpful..Version: 2.0.13
Limited to 4 Active ProgramsThis app works great as designed… but why limit it to only 4 activity programs at a given time? You can create and store more programs… but you’re only allowed to have 4 active at any given moment. Why? Can the developers please update the app to allow for more active slots beyond just A, B, C, and D?.Version: 3.0.26
Rain monitoringThe system doesn’t seem to recognize when we’ve had any a heavy rain. I noticed that the sprinklers still continue to water of how much rain has just recently fallen. Otherwise, the system works great..Version: 3.0.28
In ControlThis is a bit troublesome in the initial setup, more detail in moving in and out of the different areas would help), but once it is understood it is a the most intuitive and powerful tool I have run across in 30 years of irrigation control BC.Version: 3.0.20
App is not working for meApp is not able to connect Wi-Fi hub and Bhyve XD. In fact - Bhyve XD is not connected via Bluetooth too. Serious problem. Called customer care and they took the number ; never called back. Returning orbit Bhyve timer and hub. Not sure how to get refund on the app that I purchased..Version: 3.0.8
Bhyve OrbitGreat customer service. Excellent resources when you have issues with your sprinkler system. They go to length to solve your problem. B-hyve, not the company who sold and installed my system. There were terrible. They just made the sell. Thank you Orbit, Bhyve..Version: 3.0.41
Easy to useThe app works well to set and control our system. Haven’t needed to use the control box once with having the app. Very easy to modify settings and test zones while out in the yard..Version: 3.0.30
Trouble with setting upI had a lot of trouble getting started with the B-Hyve XR. I entered a chat from Orbit and I was talking to a person named Heavenly. This person kept leaving the chat to consult a”team leader”. I ended the chat with no resolution to my problem. I have had this B-Hyve XR for three weeks now and it has not watered my lawn on its own. I have to go to manual watering to water my lawn..Version: 3.0.38
ReviewMy Behive sprinkler system is the best device I have ever had. I can start, change and control the program from anywhere in the country. I’ve encouraged all my friends to have one installed..Version: 3.0.37
Installation. Very easyI replace a different brand with the Or it timer. The install was easy. Wiring was a minor challenge as I have big hands and the screws and ports were very small. Works great. Still getting to know the system..Version: 2.0.5
Great appThis is really a good app. You can take care of all your watering from anywhere. Not only that, but it checks the weather and decides if it will run or not. Definitely recommend it to everyone..Version: 1.3.2
So far, so goodStill learning all the details, but I like the interface and the ability to control the system remotely. I think the smart watering will be helpful when I get the details right..Version: 1.2.22
No call backsProblem with app. Have called twice. They text that they will call in 30 minutes to an hour. They don’t. Fortunately the water safer still works.Version: 3.0.12
So convenientWe travel. Recently we were in Europe when a heat wave hit our home. I was able to adjust the watering to protect my yard. So happy we installed the system. I have 2 to cover my yard..Version: 3.0.38
B-hyve app working great nowLast year the app wasn’t working so good. It didn’t record all of the watering. I updated to the new app and everything works like a charm. Thanks for a great product..Version: 3.0.37
AwesomeThis timer has worked perfect from day 1. I love that I can control it from my phone and it auto delays based on the weather. 100% recommend.Version: 3.0.30
B-hyve sprinkler controllerI love this thing! It is even easy for me to use, which is saying something! I can check, adjust, change, delay my sprinklers easily from my phone. Perfect!.Version: 3.0.21
App is inconsistentYour app is very inconsistent for iOS on iPhone and iPad. The calendar does not show the correct days that I have programmed. The app used to be stable and consistent until you added B-Hyve Pro..Version: 3.0.10
Love it!This app has saved me so many footsteps while i was setting up my new sprinkler system, and it allows me to program as i need without having to spend a lot of time at the actual controller. Totally love it!.Version: 1.2.22
Easy systemLove my system, so easy to setup each zone the way you like it . So easy to change the day and time of watering as per water restrictions.Version: 2.0.12
Works great!Had it installed by a professional sprinkler company yesterday. Controls the whole system beautifully, zone by zone. Everything works seamlessly!.Version: 2.0.5
Saved my new turfI put down new turf but was going to be away off and on. I set the timer for 30 minutes three times a day. The timer worked perfectly and the turf looks amazing. I recommend this time to everyone. I will now set up lawn watering on alternate days and drip watering of my potted plants twice daily..Version: 3.0.38
Great System!Easy to set up and use!.Version: 3.0.37
Easy to useOne of the easiest systems to use and implement. It the unpredictable climate of southern Alberta I found this system with its phone app a game changer. As much as I like the pre-programming, there are times the garden needs a little extra. This makes it so easy. Also it is so handy to turn on a zone then off again instantly so you can make adjustments..Version: 3.0.35
FantasticMy wife would spend 4 to 6 hours a day watering our property gardens. We put in the orbit WiFi system with 6 zones and she now has her life back…. It automatically waters the whole yard gardens and hanging baskets. She can control the system with her phone if it needs extra watering. Mind you it took me 3 months to put in the under ground piping for it all but we are so happy with the end results. Thank you Orbit for the great tech knowledge..Version: 3.0.30
Big ImprovementsI’ve noticed big difference in the app usage and connection stability comparing with last year, I am using two devices and now switching between them smoothly and showing the current watering, which was not working last year. One nice enhancement I would propose is the ability to connect two devices to Alexa, right now only one can be configured..Version: 3.0.28
B-hyve InstallInitial physical install was easy. The terminal strip in the unit for zone connections was surprisingly low quality, requiring very careful screw loosening and tightening to avoid stripping the screw head. Included screw driver was useless. They really need to put a higher quality zone connection strip in the unit. Software was very easy to use, allowing me to set up 10 zones in a few minutes. I think I'll really like the unit, unless I have to rearrange zones in which case I'll probably make a cross-connect using high quality terminal strips to avoid touching the screws again inside the case for fear of stripping a screw head. I hope they improve this soon and preferably warranty replace my unit if and when they have the terminal strip problem solved. I've used many brands such as Rainbird and Hunter. Both use high quality terminal strips..Version: 3.0.29
B-hyveThis app works perfectly all the time Easy to use..Version: 3.0.27
Does not show the watering history recently.Does not show the watering history recently. It used to show during last summer. Any issues with new updates to the app?.Version: 3.0.28
Never stays connected to wifi.This app never stays connected to my wifi. It constantly fails to recognize that I’ve signed in over 10 times, downloaded the app over and over, reset all my watering times, and refuses to just be a normal system that reaches my wifi which is within several feet away. What a piece of garbage. Meanwhile my garden is suffering from the failure of this system. Waste of money..Version: 2.0.5
Very intuitiveJust set up the B Hyve Pro app … the easiest, most intuitive irrigation system. Awesome.Version: 2.0.4
Awesome appThis app is really user friendly! I had the skydrop app and contrôler before this one and I really love this one.Version: 1.7.2
Login impossibleThe app developer is obviously writing his own reviews. Twenty minutes wasted attempting to wade through a bizarre login that always ends in a fail. Delete. Do not waste your Time on this utter POS.Version: 1.6.1
Great App and WiFi controllerVery simple and effective controller and this app makes life so easy.Version: 1.2.26
B-hyve proI have 12 watering zones and this app helps me to manage them very well. The wifi and cloud service is very reliable and easy to use..Version: 1.2.25
MikomakalaGreat system.Version: 1.2.23
Love this app! My new toy to play with!!Great money saver if your on a water meter!.Version: 1.2.23
Looks promising, with proper support.Just moved into a custom built home. GC is highly respected and very prominent in our market. Regrettably, while your brand is clearly superior to others available in the market, it’s the installer sub-trade that has totally ruined the experience. I’m near retirement and could benefit from assistance in learning how to best use your system. But can’t get a reply from the referring source and am finally to the point where I’ll speak with the builder about having it replaced with a more conventional model..Version: 1.2.22
Excellent purchase!Amazing product! Specially I like remote control from any point on Earth within cellular coverage (or WiFi)..Version: 1.2.22
Frustrated - no accurateFrustrated - it says it worked even when the zone does not turn on. I would also like to name and not photograph the zones, this is not a stand alone option..Version: 1.2.22
Great resourceHave used the timer and the app for more than a year. Has helped me maintain a large English garden with hundreds of shrubs, perennials and fruit trees, an intensive vegetable garden, lots of roses and climbers, and long, hot and dry summers. Saved lots of time, bother and water. Bravo B-hive!.Version: 1.2.22
