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 lite FAQ

Is b·hyve lite legit?
⚠️ The b·hyve lite app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
This is so bad I can’t believe they still offer it. This app does nothing other than allow your input and then recommend to you what schedule you should water. And even that recommendation is way off base. With how bad this one is, I wouldn’t think of purchasing one. Oh- and it doesn’t allow you to control your times from your phone, just in case anyone was wondering.
Run from this app.
Garbage
All this app does is take control of your system and leave you out of the decision making process
Poor product
I bought this with high hopes, never got past the app. It does NOT let you set your own watering schedule. False advertising.
Terrible
What a joke. Gives very very limited control. Uselesd
Good app!
First off. Don’t listen to other people trashing the app. THEY CLEARLY didn’t read through everything and just jumped to conclusions.
Anyways… if your new to these timers, or irrigation in general this is a good app for you. This DOES NOT program your timers and is not meant to be used in sync with timers. You need the REGULAR b-hyve app for that. This is the “lite” app.
This app uses historical weather data and current weather data from your zip code to help guesstimate what you should set your watering schedule to. So again this is a great app for if your new to this stuff or, if you just want some guidance on what to schedule your system for.
You DO NOT have to take its recommendations! Someone wrote a review all mad because it was telling them what to set there system to. Well… that’s kinda the point!
I recommend for anyone new to irrigation or timers, and if you want assistance with your watering schedule.
B hyve
Trash.I wanted a timer I could turn on and off from where ever I’m am. Don’t want to have to have a schedule.they are a rip off.its trash
This free APP is a scam
There is almost NOTHING in this APP. You can’t even set your zone times. It’s offering this is a scam that allows them to say the B-Hyve comes with a “free” APP. But if you actually want something useful, you have to pay $10 for the pro APP. Shame on you Orbit, just another typical modern day company deploying scams to get another buck from unsuspecting customers.
So bad it’s I’m embarrassed for the employees
This app does NOT actually allow you to control your watering timer. It’s an automatic “we’ll decide for you” type of thing. Well, I DON’T WANT B-Hyve TO DECIDE THE SCHEDULE, I wan’t to schedule the waterings myself. This is false advertising on their product / product packaging.. saying that you can “Set, operate and optimize” but in reality, you can’t even manually turn it on within the app. How terrible. A simple dumb timer would be better than this $70 unusable junk. I’m guessing this is their way of tricking people into buying their $10 app. This should be reported to the FTC. Shame on you Orbit from North Salt Lake.
Stupid timer
It won’t let me set the program I want. It only will do the program it recommends. Horrid piece of junk.
