Bought this to set up an automated watering system without having to buy a full underground kit. Attached 4 hose to it to create 4 zones, set up was super simple. The only issue I had was the app would get stuck during the set up but you can exit and go back in. In order to use the smart features fully you need to know a lot about the soil and sprinkler you are using, along with the moisture levels of the soil and type of grass.Still even without the more complex features, this worked great and allowed me to set a program to water in the morning, and it skips the watering if rain is on the horizon. Excellent product

This thing is awesome. The set up was a breeze, it even set the time fir me and connected to my local weather station. The configurability in the application is top notch. You can add youre own schedule or let the app choose for you based on soil tyoe, sprinkler type, how much sun or how much shade. If you can think of it, this app has it. Just make sure you have non rechargeable batteries. Have your hub close enough to the timer (they communicate via Bluetooth) and it works everytime. I've seen that as a con, so I removed that possibility before purchasing. If batteries are low, it can be sporadic with control, but if over 15% you are good. Just keep an eyebout after a month or two of use.If you're on the fence, read this and decide. I would get this 10 out of 10. I'm picky.

These work very well and the app greatly increases their value. Very granular control of all aspects of watering. The automation feature in the app is particularly useful, as it will monitor the forecast and adjust the amount of watering accordingly.

It was disappointing that the threads aren't compatible with countries that don't use American standards (GHT) for plumbing.It was purchased from the Amazon Australia site and there was no mention of GHT. Australia follows Bristish Standard Pipe (BSP) and hence this item is incompatible here.After several weeks of trying to obtain fittings that would work, I sent the device back to Amazon.This product should not be for sale on the Australian site, unless sold with a conversion kit to accommodate BSP.It's a shame, because the features of the timer are fantastic, and I'm not surprised that it has mostly 5-star ratings.

This is a powerful unit with a lot of features, made accessible via the WiFi hub. Set-up of all components is well documented and straightforward. HOWEVER, UK and European users need to be aware that all fittings are US NSP which DO NOT accept our BSP fittings. The inlet leaks when connected to a BSP-threaded tap and BSP-threaded hozelock connectors CANNOT be screwed on the outlets at all! Thread adaptors are available from third-party suppliers on Amazon, but are quite expensive. A US to UK or EU power adapter plug is also required for the WiFi adapter, but UK/European mains 230 volts is supported and works fine.

There is nothing to say as a minus for this product. I am very happy with it. Before this I had a Gardena Master + water distribuitor which was getting stuck. With this, not only that works flawlesly, but you can as well use the app features and functions which are awesome.

Hallo, ich habe mir den B-Hyve XD über Amazon.de bestellt. Der Netzstecker passt nicht für die übliche Steckdose und zudem kann ich nirgendwo erkennen, welcher Anschlusstyp (Gewinde) der Wasserausgang ist. Keiner der Schlauchadapter, die ich zu Hause habe passt.Ich kann auch keine EMail-Adresse finden um den Verkäufer zu kontaktieren. Darum versuche ich es auf diesen Weg. Ich bitte darum, dass sich ein Mitarbeiter der Firma Orbit bei mir meldet. Ansonsten muss ich das Gerät zurück schicken. Weshalb dieses überhaupt in Deutschland ausgeliefert wird, ohne einen Hinweis, dass verschiedene Adapter benötigt werden, kann ich nicht verstehen und macht schon mal einen schlechten 1. Eindruck.
