The B-hyve Pro App provides landscape irrigation professionals with an easy way to manage and operate B-hyve Pro controllers from anywhere with the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. With the intuitive layout and design of the app, it is fast and easy to connect to any B-hyve Pro controller through WiFi or, if WiFi is not available, directly through Bluetooth right at the timer location. Once connected to WiFi, B-hyve can be set up in smart mode to assist in delivering the right amount of water to plants, saving clients water and money.
This is the companion App for award-winning B-hyve Pro irrigation controllers. Homeowners can download the non-Pro version of the B-hyve App at no charge.
***KEY FEATURES***
WIFI and BLUETOOTH – Because WiFi is not always available on a job site, the B-hyve app and controller allow you to set up and operate the controller using Bluetooth. Once a WiFi connection is established at a site, the owner of the WiFi router can provide a permission code that enables off-site management of the controller from anywhere in the world.
EPA- AND SWAT-CERTIFIED – Having passed the rigorous EPA WaterSense and SWAT certifications, the B-hyve Pro Controller with Smart Watering is certified to use water more efficiently and is eligible for rebates in many cities or water districts across the country.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING – You can set the controller to water in two basic ways: 1) on a fixed schedule, such as during a new landscape grow-in period; 2) with Smart Watering, and let local weather conditions determine the schedule.
MULTI-SITE MANAGEMENT – You can manage and control an unlimited number of B-hyve controllers from the convenience of one application. Once the timer is connected to the Internet, secure access can be shared in a number of different combinations using an app-generated code.
CATCH CUPS – With various water savings options integrated right into the app, there are multiple ways to achieve optimum water savings with the B-hyve Pro Timer. In addition to Smart Watering, it incorporates the award-winning catch-cup feature right into the app to deliver up to 25% more water savings over other smart controllers.
ALEXA – Works with Alexa. For a list of Alexa commands visit bhyve.hydrorain.com.

Love the idea
Jul 23, 2018 By RazzzziI really like having an app that lets me control watering from my phone. The rain delay was a learning experience, however. We started seeing our grass turn brown. Didn’t know about the auto rain delay. When rain is forecasted in our area we rarely get more than a tiny sprinkle, so our grass was burning up with the near 100 degree days. I’ve turned off the smart watering now and hopefully we’ll get our grass back. more -
It is OK, but for the price of the controller and Pay for the App I expected Great
Jul 10, 2022 By Eagle's FanI bought a 16 zone controller, and I attempted to use the regular app, but it was difficulty to use. I spoke to customer service who recommended I pay for the Pro App. It was more money down the drain. The app worked well until last month, and now I have trouble testing zones. I usually have to reset the app after I start testing the zone to stop it. It is a pain in the neck, when you’re trying to fix the sprinkler heads. I expect better from the app. Had a Rachio system at my old house and was better system for use. more -
Watering made simple
Oct 6, 2019 By Serge I.I had a malfunctioning system that was frustrating me and wasting water.. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new system. I was not expecting to spend $10 on an app, that was disappointing, but I figured it was an investment and it would pay for itself over time. Within 5 min, I had all 4 areas wired and tested with the app. Day one, system informed me that it would rain within 24 hours, so system would skip a day... that’s what I call immediate results! Totally worth $10! more -
Excellent devices
Jun 23, 2022 By green_eyes_06I’ve had several of the timers hooked up to my hoses and sprinklers for three years. Despite the brutal heat, they still work wonderfully. I love that I can leave out a sprinkler, set the timer and forget about it. It’s also perfect for times when I’m not in town…. No more dead plants and crispy grass! Today I added a mister that runs along the roof of my patio to one of the hose timers. It’s perfect! Cuts the heat and mists my patio plants at the same time. more -
Very efficient system for a good price
Jan 7, 2023 By MiguelAzul78This is a simple system. If you’re a professional, you will appreciate all the features that this irrigation controller offers. I installed mine inside of a insulated box 3 years ago, and I never have a need to opened again. I do all the programming though the app. If you are a regular person, you will learn how to manage the system through the manual and the app in short time. more -
Still buggy
Jul 12, 2018 By ZRichinsThe smart watering concept is cool but it still needs some help. For example, it’s been 100 degrees and sunny the past 10 days and for some reason the system thinks that even though my front lawn was watered two days ago the soil moisture is at 90%. Because of this it isn’t scheduled to run for a while. I’ve found that every so often it does this and I have to manually reset the moisture level to 0. Now I know I’m not actually measuring it, but when it’s this hot and dry I’m confident that two days without water doesn’t equal 90% moisture. more -
Life changer
Nov 5, 2022 By Wund3rw0manAs an owner of a large saltwater system I have to filter large amounts of water from the outside hose several times a month. No problem until it’s raining, cold, snowing whatever. Now I can sit in the comfort of my home and get the water running without the hassle. Not to mention when I build a watering system for the plants geez yeah at 1/10 the cost of a sprinkler system. more -
A Mostly Sunny Review
Jul 16, 2018 By MacManDanLove the automation and remote management possibilities, however, maintaining connectivity with the box when out of state is not reliable. The system still shows what the schedule is, but the notifications stop when I’m out of town. When I return home and stay in town the notifications resume. I would still recommend the App, and I’m optimistic that it will become even more useful. more -
The B hive sprinkler control box.
Sep 5, 2020 By Hummer2000I wasn’t very impressed with the control box but there must have been some updates for improve the control. Was having issues with how to run the sprinkler only twice a day. But wasn’t a step for that. So I wanted 10 minutes per zone twice a day. But it wasn’t allowing me to make the adjustment. So i reduced down to 5 minutes per zone. more -
Great app
Aug 22, 2019 By K6HMDAt first I had issues figuring out how to use the app, but after some time I figured it out. Give it some time before you give up and you’ll be happy you did. setting up of programs is a breeze. You can also run programs manually which is nice if the lawn needs a bit more water. Lots of cool features but like I said, you’ll need to poke around to figure it out. more

Inaccurate, inconsistent, not ready for release
Jun 16, 2018 By Mr TorpeI bought this app and the B-hyve residential timer and have tried for a week to make it work. I have spent Hours of set up, calibration and test. The smart watering feature is horrible. Setting up water cups the app did not save my inputs on numerous zones. So it took forever to complete. I double checked the water estimates from my measurements and it was not consistent with orbit online scheduler. After setting up smart watering all my 12 zones watering all back to back so watering continues all night in the the afternoon. So I switch to manual programs which show history of watering, but I didn’t feel the grass showed as being water. So I put out catch cups and the next morning rather than watering 3 of my zones 4 times each like the calendar showed it would, each cup was absolutely empty. This is going to kill my grass if I wasn’t diligent enough to track it. When I first bought this it required me to log in to a users forum to request updates to the firmware of the residential timer. I am returning it. So frustrated. more -
Struggling with App
Jul 4, 2022 By nickname0124I have to say, I’m pretty good with technology but the app isn’t intuitive to me. I have a program set up but I manually want to water but it won’t let me. The message on the Home tab under schedule says, “your timer is in manual rain delay for 23 hours”. So I press the “clear delay button” below and nothing happens. Any advice? Also in the manual water screen, “what’s the difference between the green check mark and the play button? more -
Absolute garbage
Sep 4, 2022 By Player56789There is zero chance these are real reviews this app is an absolute piece of crap. First it tells me my email address is not unique enough. I’ve already had an account with them but decided to delete my app to try again because it was so full of bugs. I can’t get it to connect to my Wi-Fi when it was kind of working. Again pick another company. What garbage more

In Control
Nov 4, 2022 By MyholeinoneThis is a bit troublesome in the initial setup, more detail in moving in and out of the different areas would help), but once it is understood it is a the most intuitive and powerful tool I have run across in 30 years of irrigation control BC more -
Installation. Very easy
Jul 21, 2021 By MES42?I replace a different brand with the Or it timer. The install was easy. Wiring was a minor challenge as I have big hands and the screws and ports were very small. Works great. Still getting to know the system. -
Really? Do We Need This?.... I Was Wrong!
Jul 17, 2018 By RlazyeI was a skeptic regarding the need to control my watering online. Boy was I wrong! This app is great, stable and very useful. Not just the banner notifications but in testing our zones for reliability. Also, the rain delays ave water, which is important. I highly recommend it. more

This app is great
Aug 9, 2018 By Larguy2It works well most of the time. I had the WiFi connection cut out for half a day. I could not get it to connect. Then it did and I have had no other issues. This makes taking care of my lawn very easy.

What’s Groovy
I’ve been using the pro app for a week now. It was a little tricky to pair with the wall unit (had to start in Bluetooth mode then restart the wall unit several times to finally connect by wifi) - hence the four stars. But once it connected it has worked great. Super easy to use; very intuitive. I am glad it is available. The visual tools help you understand your watering regimen better than the wall unit and doing single-zone manual watering is easier with the app than with the wall unit. Overall a winner! 👍🏼

What’s Subpar
The screenshot of the manual watering zone and the time left? That doesn’t seem to work anymore. I can set the manual watering time for all zones as shown but then hitting the green check and clicking the start icon brings you back to the Home Screen. No countdown timer or even any indication that the timer is running. So you go through it again and clicking run this time brings up a message stating that the program has finished running. No indicators for whether it’s watering anything. Only way to know whether it’s doing anything is to go outside and check the drip emitters, which isn’t handy if you’re not home.
Other fun thing: if you forget your password, resetting it on an iPhone is super frustrating. They’ve got the “forgot password” link appearing under the iPhone keyboard. On iPhone (12 max for me) it won’t hide the keyboard, so you have to try to trick it into showing the link. Same when going through the reset process, should you figure out a way to trick the app into doing your bidding and resetting the password… basic Q/A would be great.
