About This Product
Take control of your lawn care and save money with the Orbit B-hyve XR Smart Sprinkler Timer. This innovative device allows you to manage your watering schedule from anywhere in the world using your iOS or Android device or a web app. Its exclusive WeatherSense technology uses local weather data to automatically adjust watering, delivering the precise amount your plants need and preventing waste to lower your water bill. The sleek, weather-resistant timer is designed for indoor or outdoor installation and features three full-color digital displays and a multi-color LED light ring so you can see its status at a glance. Installation is fast and simple thanks to push-and-go wiring terminals and a built-in bubble level.
Highlights

- Auto adjusts to weather: automatically adjusts to weather changes, including rain, wind and freeze delays and gives more water in dryer times too
- Protect your lawn investment: B-hyve's exclusive WeatherSense tech receives local weather data and adjusts your smart sprinkler controller to deliver the right amount of water to your plants

Questions & Answers
does this model track water usage? Also does it have leak detection?
No, it does not have either of those features built in, but we do have Orbit B-hyve leak detectors available.
Can I use this for over-the-ground sprinklers? I do not see a hose in and out in the pictures.
This timer is designed for underground systems. For over-the-ground sprinklers, you'll want to check out our Hose Timers here: https://www.orbitonline.com/collections/bluetooth-digital-display-timers
Is it possible to setup even/odd day watering along with automatically skipped days. For example water on all odd days as long as it is mon-fri but never on sat/sun.
No, that is not possible.
can multiple bhyves be run from one app?
Yes, you can connect multiple B-hyve devices to your account in the app and control them from there.
Will this controller work with rainbird solenoids
Yes, this timer can operate Rainbird solenoids and valves.
Will this controller continue to work if the WiFi loses signal?
Yes, your programming will continue to run if the Wi-Fi connection is lost, as long as it is still connected to power. However, changes to your program can not be made until the timer is reconnected.
is there a way to open a line before closing the other? I believe this will eliminate the water hammer.
No, our timers are unable to have two zones open at a time, even during the change from one zone to the next. For issues with water hammer, we recommend looking into a water hammer arrestor.
Is this compatible to replace my hunter pro-c controller ? just want to make sure, i can use the existing wirings.
The wiring between these two systems should be compatible.
