Overview
Convert your hose faucet into smart watering that is controlled via Wi-Fi from anywhere in the world. B-hyve lets you control a standard hose faucet from your smartphone with a sleek design and weatherproof housing. Simple to set up, simple to operate, simple to save.
CONTROLS – The B-hyve app is fully functional for Android, iOS or web devices and gives you control wherever you need it. Program your timer on the app, or let the weather-based software create a program for you.
SMART WATERING – Weather Sense technology provides watering based on site conditions such as slope, soil type, sun/shade, historical ET, and live weather feeds. It automatically adjusts your controller to deliver the right amount of water to your plants.
KNOW THE FLOW™ – The build-in flow meter lets you know how much water it takes to water your plants, wash your car or fill your pool. Knowing the flow also lets you water by volume.
BLUETOOTH MESHING – Uses meshing BLE to allow your system to expand beyond the signal strength of the B-hyve Hub by passing the signal through other B-hyve Hose Faucet Timers. This is ideal for larger properties with multiple timers in different locations.
Bluetooth meshing can extend to 60 metres in clear line of site, this may reduce to 10 metres if the signal is impeded.
CONNECTIVITY – It can be connected to wifi with the B-hyve Hub or the 2018 version of the B-hyve underground timers. It can also be connected with other B-hyve Hose Faucet Timers or as a zone with your underground timer.
WATER SAVINGS – Enhance your water savings by using B-hyve’s award-winning integrated catch cup feature and Orbit B-hyve Catch Cups (Orbit 26250) to save up to 50% more water than with traditional controllers.
**Only compatible with the generation 1 wifi hub NOT the gen 2**
