Orbit 21027 B-hyve Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub, Gray

have had Orbit B-Hyve hub and timers for 2 full seasons, starting my 3rd spring with them. These are easy to program and reliable. I had a problem with a valve failing to open this spring and Orbit support worked with me to verify that the valve had failed: they sent a replacement timer. The app made transferring the programming from the failed timer device to the new one as simple as it could possibly be. I take the timers off in the fall (along with disconnecting hoses, etc to protect outlets, hoses and timers from frost damage) and re-install them in the spring. All the programs are automatically synced with the timers within seconds of putting the batteries back into the units. Programming the timers to conform with local watering restrictions is simple. Identifying the watering zones in the app is simple: the app can take pictures of the zone so I don't have to guess where they are. The hub detects weather conditions and automatically delays or skips watering cycles if rain or frost are in the forecast. This is one of the most solid "smart" apps I've encountered - easy to use yet provides full features and functionality if you have more complex needs. And, unlike nearly every other app, it hasn't crashed on me. ever. (wish I could say the same for my not-so-smart watch!)

Works perfect, connected my hub to the wifi, now I can use all the smart features and control my garden watering remotely

I’ve been a fan of their products. I had purchased some garden hose timers not realizing they were Bluetooth. I got this hub to connect to them once I put it in the app. It noticed both of the garden hose timers linked to them and worked flawlessly now I get messages letting me know that each individual one has gone through it cycle would definitely buy again if needed it but it looks like 1 will do many so I am highly recommend recommending this product

Easy to follow instructions and interface with our home automation plan.

If you want to use your B-Hyve system with your smart home and other smart weather features, then you need this. Its easily concealed due it its small size, and it doesn't block the other outlet like some electronics do. I took one star away because I actually had to buy two of them to get coverage from my b-hyve smart controls in the front yard and in the backyard. Trying to put this in the middle of my house to hopefully get reception to all devices didn't work. The price is reasonable, this wasn't a huge deal. They should provide some additional documentation on range limits and how many walls/materials you need the WIFI to manage.

I had 2 4-Outlet B-Hyve XD timers, they work good, but the bluetooth connection was a little cumbersome. I also like the idea of having control away from home. I received the hub, it was easy to setup. The app froze during setup and I thought I was going to have to start the setup over but it was fine. The hub connected immediately to my timers. I haven't tried the setup away from home yet, and with it being January I haven't used it to water anything but I expect the timers to function properly.

This system really has helped me out as a first timer doing irrigation. Easy to navigate , good instructional videos and doesn’t leak! Love it!

i was hesitant about ordering this based on some of the negative reviews here. My experience has been great though. in the middle of the second floor on a 3200sq ft house it reaches hose bib's at the front corner and rear corner of the house just fine with Bluetooth. I had to repair it, and it was a bit awkward because instead of pressing and holding the pair button you have to press the pair button 5 time rapidly, which is not common for Bluetooth pairing. And I had to actually search for that online because it was not included with the direction that came with the device. I had to repair because I initially set it up at an outlet at the front of my house outside the range to reach the back hose bib. That was my fault for being out of range of one of the devices during initial install, I knew it was way too far away to reach the back of the house. so I'm not going to ding them for what would have been a flawless install, if I had been less of a bonehead, myself. The performance of the device makes up for the lack of reset instructions included.

works well
