Q:My existing Sprinkler Controller is Orbit Control Star 6 Station Model 57256, installed indoors. Should I replace it with Orbit Be-Hyve 8 Zone Indoor Timer or with Orbit Be-Hyve 6 Zone Indoor/Outdoor Timer? The 8 Zone Be-Hyve is cheaper to get.

Smart Modern Simple Controller
I really like this indoor sprinkler controller! It is sleek, compact, modern, simple, and most notably smart. I had an old rainbird unit and what i hated about that unit was that the rain sensor was inaccurate. It used that rain sensor that would swell when wet in order to stop or delay the watering however that doesn’t work well. This unit actually keeps up with the weather forecast. So that means more efficient watering and less waste. The b-hyve app works perfectly on my iphone.

Very in accurate.
This Orbit 4-Zone has cost me more money in repair than it was worth. Twice now it has ran at night when temperatures are below freezing and not followed weather station data it received. As a result. It busted many of my heads that froze and split.

Easy Peezy lemon squeezy. Everything is done on your phone tablet or laptop via the b-hyve app. Super easy to set up. And no longer walking out to the garage in blistering heat turning dials or waking up in the middle of the night trying to remember if you turned the sprinklers on. We are always on our phones or tablets so it’s nothing but a swipe and a click if you want to water your pansies your grass or get the neighbors cat off the property. Love it!

Best Value for a WiFi controller
As with most controllers i had in the past were the manual operated ones. where you physically had to go to the unit to turn on the zones. Having this unit, which I installed outside using an Orbit outdoor weather resistant cover, it connected to the Wi-Fi easily as the router was on the inside wall inside the home. After programming it for "Smart Water" feature, I realized how it informed me that it would not begin to run the zones 20 days into the future. As the weather for our area predicted rainfall daily. However, where we live, rainfall is not always 100% accurate. So this feature, "smart watering" was turned off. And i programmed my zones to go on based upon what I felt was reasonable. This is the only thing that I don't care for about how the weather report overrides the function of the controller.

Perfect
Having read reviews on the internet "Rainbird vs Orbit", I had serious doubts on the product, especially the software. Luckily, HD did not have any other product for 4-zone. This was the only product, so I braved it. And NO REGRETS. Extremely easy to install and mount onto the wall. Extremely easy to pair with my smart phone. And the app is easy to use. Just not able to set begin/end dates for the watering programs. Other than that - totally user friendly and easy!! Very happy with the purchase...and economical as well!!!

Excellent controller for irrigation and watering new grass!
This is an excellent controller for home irrigation, sprinklers, drip irrigation, etc. Everything is controlled via your iPhone or Android phone. Much easier to use than old-style 'panel' controllers with lots of buttons. You can even schedule watering remotely - or delay watering if there is rain.
We had new sod installed at our home in Massachusetts, which must be repeatedly watered during the first two weeks -- then daily thereafter. I needed to water four zones. After a few days running around the yard, repositioning the hose and sprinkler, I thought, "There has to be a better way!" I found this solution at our local Home Depot.
The B-Hyve drives standard 24 volt irrigation valves (~$15). I put everything together in a standard irrigation valve box (~$20) with 1/2" PVC pipe and four hose connectors on the outside for hoses and sprinklers. The hose connections are mounted on pieces of Veranda cellular PVC trim -- which doesn't rot. See the photos below.
Everything was purchased at Home Depot. The total cost was ~$170. If you use it to automate drip irrigation or standard irrigation sprinkers, your cost would be even lower -- without the hose valves and connectors. Now I can easily schedule multiple sprinklers and sessions, from my phone! Highly recommended.

Box arrived in a timely manor and undamaged.
I opened the box and there was the B-hyve unit, a box contain the wall wart to power the B-hyve, and a little plastic with mounting screws, plastic wall anchors, and a cute but less that effective little screw driver. Everything looked good until I went to look for any printed material. Nope, not there. There are no printed instructions what so ever. OK, no problem, I'll just check on Orbit's website. Huge disappointment there too.
I'm a journeyman electrician specializing in control work, I don't need a manual to install this relatively simple bit of electronics, but still it would have been nice to have at least a 1 page quick start guide. I feel for the people who actually need some instruction. I guess Orbit thinks the app is all you need to install and operate this controller.
The app, at least the iOS one, is pretty slick. It did make connecting to the controller and setting up pretty easy. I went with Smart Watering program, at least to start. If the controller works as well as the app did, I will be thrilled.
Minus 1 star for lack of any written help other that what is printed on the outside of the box.
