Smart, Weather-Based Irrigation Control from Anywhere
The Orbit B-hyve Smart Indoor/Outdoor Irrigation Controller revolutionizes the way you manage your landscape. Featuring an EPA WaterSense certification, this smart controller ensures maximum water conservation without sacrificing the health of your plants. It utilizes a durable, weather-resistant case designed for easy installation either indoors or outdoors. By pairing this powerful 110V AC controller with standard 24V AC irrigation valves, you gain complete, professional-grade automation over your entire yard.
The true power of the B-hyve lies in its advanced WeatherSense technology. By analyzing site-specific conditions—including soil type, slope, sun/shade exposure, historical ET data, and live local weather feeds—the controller automatically adjusts your watering schedules to deliver the exact amount of water needed. The highly rated B-hyve app (available for Android, iOS, and Web) gives you the freedom to monitor and program your timer from anywhere in the world, or simply let the smart software run the system for you.
