Review: Easy to use - some wiring required if no outlet - I had the indoor B Hyve unit at my previous home and it worked really well, so when I moved I ordered this one to replace a Hunter controller that was on the exterior of the house. One thing to note that the instruction booklet does not cover (but I found videos for on YouTube) is that you can hardware this unit if you have a pump relay rather than an outlet. It involved opening the unit, undoing the wiring in the transformer to remove the power cord, and wiring the pump relay power to the units transformer. It’s simple enough to not need an electrician, labeling the wires helps. The B Hyve fired right up and setting up the zones and schedule took 5 minutes. I like how the app checks the weather and can set a delay automatically, versus the rain sensor on the old hunter unit that did not always trigger the rain delay. So far I am liking this model more than the indoor only model I had previously, as this one includes a screen and button controls. You can still control it via Bluetooth if the WiFi is out, but I am always in favor of having physical buttons as an option. Overall I am pleased with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: To the manufacturer (unless someone has inside info): If and when will it be google assistant compatable? If coming soon, I would buy today.**
A: Looked on the Orbit web site, discussion board - lots posted there about this subject:  seems there is lots of frustration about Orbit not providing an ETA for google home/assistant compatibility.  AND, again, according to Orbit's posts - they are not sure if google home compatibility will be a software upgrade or if WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW 2ND GENERATION UNIT.

**Q: Can you connect a rain sensor to this device?**
A: Yes, the timer supports a physical rain sensor in addition to the smart watering rain delays. The app does not currently recognize the physical rain sensor but the timer will work properly. Unplug the timer before connecting any external accessories including rain sensors.

**Q: will it run with android phone?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this work with Samsung Smartthings?**
A: Currently this does not. The only smart home system this works with is the Amazon Echo

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super easy, convenient, and worry-free
*by J***G on June 29, 2020*

I really can’t say enough good things about the Orbit 57946 6-Station WiFi Sprinkler System Controller. Several years ago, when I had an irrigation system installed in my backyard, it came with a digital (not WiFi) controller that you operated outside where it was mounted. The installer pre-set the system for me, but over time I needed to change some things like watering times, schedules, etc. I never was able to make it work like I wanted it to. No matter how often I read the manual I could never figure out all the little program quirks that were required to make it do what I wanted. I’d heard of WiFi connected controllers and since I was desperate to replace the old one, I ordered the Orbit from Amazon because of the great reviews it got. And having pretty much joined the Smart Home-connected world already, I thought I was up to the challenge of installing and programming this thing myself. And boy am I glad I did! Installation was very easy. I simply took pictures of the wiring in the old controller and labeled the wires accordingly before I did any disconnects. Removing the old controller was simple and mounting the new Orbit was super easy. In just a few minutes I had the Orbit mounted and the wiring connected. The only thing left to do was to connect it to my home WiFi and program it. This took a bit more time to do as I had some trouble connecting to my home WiFi, but I sorted this out by employing a WiFi extender on my deck which strengthened the signal enough to reach the Orbit. Problem solved and soon I was programming, through my phone, the four zones I have connected to the system. I tested each zone using the B-Hive app and it worked perfectly. As for continued use, things couldn’t be easier. I have two of the four available programs pre-set and I’m able to schedule either or both programs for whatever days they’re needed. Or, using the phone app, I can ask it to water any specific zone at any moment for any length of time from the comfort of my sofa - sweet! Even better, I have enabled B-Hive on Alexa and now, with just a voice command, I can do the same! This has even come in handy when working in the yard; I can send a voice command to Alexa from my phone and have the watering start or stop as needed while I work. One more really cool feature of the Orbit is its ability to know your local weather forecast and adjust your schedule as appropriate. For instance, if there’s a significant chance of rain in your area, B-Hive will implement a rain delay for a time in keeping with the forecast, up to several days. (You can also do this manually for whatever reason you like.) This prevents over watering and saves your water bill. Its calendar feature saves your watering history so that you always know what’s been done. In short, I love this thing and would highly recommend it for its ease of installation and use, as well as being a superb value for all the features you get. It simply works exactly the way you want it to, when you want it to. 5 STARS!
