Orbit 24634 B-hyve Bluetooth Hose Faucet Timer

This lasted only a year and is now broken

The connections are US hose pipe connectors which use NPT (National Pipe Tapered) threads, these are incompatible with 3/4 BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads. Item returned for a refund.

Works well.Needs a wifi hub to connection without Bluetooth. Also very "hard" stops and starts. Program on app confusing. Zone D doesn't correspond to outlet 4. Need to use program 4.Once worked out it works 100% though.

Péssimo. Produto veio com defeito. Uma das 4 saídas não funciona. E pra completar, para devolver o produto, a Amazon só me reembolsa cerca de 50%. Decepção total.

After using the two devices flawlessly for about 3-4 months, they suddenly stopped connecting to my phone. I attempted to connect them to both Android and Apple devices, but Bluetooth wouldn't work and the devices will get jammed that i have to reset them everytime to go for manual option!!!The watering system didn't function for several days until I realized it wasn't a battery problem.I'm disappointed with the system's performance and would suggest opting for manual devices instead, as I've been using them for over 2 years without any sudden breakdowns.Am not a kind of person who reviews often but due to my bad experience am writing this review. The cost of both devices could’ve been utilized in a better way..so sad.

I would give this zero stars as it does not work with Australian taps. The fittings are incompatible and gushes out at the connection point. Why is this item even being sold on the Australian Amazon website???? Very poor Amazon.

I have used Orbit automatic watering systems for several years.It used to be you had to program your inexpensive Smart Watering system manually. It worked great; saved me lots of time and aggravation. I say inexpensive because the B-Hyve costs $80 to $90. The alternative, which I used for years was to water my lawn and plants manually, having to move the hose and sprinklers all the time. Of course, I could spend thousands of dollars installing an underground sprinkler system, which requires expensive maintenance.Then, Orbit introduced Orbit B-hyve that could be controlled by an App connected via Bluetooth. It worked fine, but it had distance limitations, so sometimes I had to open my windows to connect the App.Later, Orbit came out with the Gen 2 wi-fi hub. From that point on it has been extremely helpful. Almost perfect. We need to understand that the complete system only costs $100 - $120. For that money you get a reliable automatic watering system that control up to 4 sprinklers (8 in my case); the system can be programmed using the App. The programming is very friendly. You program dates, times and zones very easily. Unfortunately, as in every existing App in the market, you have to read the INSTRUCTIONS. In addition to the automatic watering based on your program(s), you may instruct the system to water your lawn manually. When there is expected rain, you can delay watering by hours or days. The system is so good that using your location, they automatically delay the watering if there is forecasted rain in your area. These benefits are what I call it a GREAT product. All for one time purchase of $100-$120Honestly, I cannot understand the terrible reviews that some "uninformed" individuals write about this product.So, everything went perfect? Not really. I had two 4 port watering system, both connected to ONE wi-fi Hub. There were times that they could not connect to the wife Hub. After talking to customer service, they suggested for me to add on more Hub (less than $30) and since then (more than one year) the system has worked as designed.Please understand that a $28 Hub, cannot provide the perfect wi-fi connectivity. It is NOT an I-Phone!Give it a try and SAVE thousands of $$$$'s but please read the Instructions before using and be patient. It has a learning curve.
