There are more than a dozen settings ranging from soil type (sand, clay, loam, etc.) and plant type (cool turf, warm turf, annual flowers, trees, desert plants, etc.) to typical sunlight totals and the slope of your property-and each serves a unique purpose relative to your watering plan.Īdditional categories including sprinkler types and quantities, rainfall and catch-cup readings, seasonal schedule adjustments, and drought settings. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Smart Watering features is the depth to which you can specify exactly what your sprinklers are watering. It’s quite convenient, and I’d imagine there are lots of situations beyond everyday use where it could come in handy-even on vacation when you’re probably not paying much attention to the weather patterns back home.

The model I tried included just one nozzle-it runs on two AA batteries, not included. You can also connect directly to the device via Bluetooth. The device comes with the Orbit B-Hyve Wi-Fi hub, which you need to operate the sprinkler. Additional sizes in two-zone and four-zone editions are also available for purchase.

It also offers a better Bluetooth range over the inaugural model. Unlike the first-generation hose timer, the second-generation features a display. The remote control functionality puts the control in your pocket, helping to save you money on water bills by watering your lawn and garden more efficiently than a typical hose-and-sprinkler setup. The hose timer turns any outdoor faucet into a smart faucet, giving you the ability to control hoses and manage watering schedules from anywhere using the companion app. The second-generation smart hose timer is the latest smart watering device in the B-hyve line, which is manufactured by Orbit. The Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer has a Bluetooth range of up to 500 feet.
