The app only shows Zone 1 (I set up 5). So it shows 3 watering start time recommendations, which overlap by the time each cycle completes. I can calculate this myself, but why create a tool like this if it is not going to work as intended? The settings menu is too limited. There should be options to review and edit initial setup steps. Fix some things in the app and I will happily revisit my review.

#1 I don't want to make an account just to set my hose timer... #2 there's no manual setting, i.e. I can't change the time or duration. They force their recommend settings. I'm a botanist, I know my plants better than an algorithm...

Poorly developed and tested app. No instructions. After setting up an account, it sends you dozens of meaningless emails. The app crashes frequently. I have current version of Android. Bad bad bad!

Poorly designed app, as stated by others, I set up my zones and it only gives me any recommendation for zone 1 with no option of adding the others. Too bad, had such potential.

I bought this Orbit timer to run my sprinklers. It refuses to do what I ask. Seems I should return the entire system as it does not work reasonably. I have no problems programming, it is set up very poorly. This is not a timer, but a valve shut off device.

App only shows zone 1. It will not show any other zones, even when 6 zones have been chosen, it will only show zone 1. Deleted zones, added zones. Started with another account. Nothing works. I'd it worked, might be a good app.

About this app

Have you ever wondered how long to run your sprinklers to adequately water your landscape? The b-hyve Lite app gives you the programming help you need for any brand of sprinkler controller. It uses your zip code to know how much water is needed based on historical weather data for your area and gives you a month by month schedule with run times, watering days/intervals, and water budget or seasonal adjustment. It requires a few simple user inputs to give you the schedule: sprinkler head type, plant type, and soil type. Once those are entered you are on your way to delivering the right amount of water to your plants.

How it works:
Using similar WaterSense technology of the b-hyve Smart Wifi Sprinkler Controller, the b-hyve lite app uses historical evapotranspiration data to determine how much water is lost or used by the plant each day and how often it needs to be replenished based on the plant’s water needs. It takes an average precipitation rate based on your sprinkler head type to determine how quickly and how much water is being replenished when you water and gives you the right run time to fill up your soil reservoir without wasting water due to runoff. You can also use the award-winning catch cup irrigation audit tool, built right into the b-hyve lite app, to accurately measure how much water your sprinklers use to save you more water.

Make life easier:
The b-hyve lite app was launched to make your life easier while saving you water and money. However, if changing your clock settings or hitting rain delay on your timer isn’t what you want to spend your time doing, the b-hyve Wifi Smart Sprinkler Timer will do all of this for you automatically. If you connect a b-hyve Wifi Sprinkler Timer, you can also run your sprinklers from your phone tablet or computer.

B-hyve owners - Get the *bhyve* app for free to connect and control your timer.
