What customers say
Customers highly value the Orbit B-hyve Timer for its robust smart features and the convenience of its intuitive mobile application. The ease of setting customized watering schedules remotely, including weather adjustments, is a major advantage for efficient landscaping. This automation is deeply appreciated. However, enthusiasm is tempered by recurring concerns regarding connectivity and long-term reliability. Many users report frustrating, frequent drops in the Wi-Fi connection, leading to missed watering cycles. While initial setup is smooth, maintaining a stable connection over time proves challenging.
