Orbit 57946 B-hyve Smart 6-Zone Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Controller

Most in-ground sprinkler systems are controlled by Orbit Irrigation Products controllers. Orbit has been in business for almost forty years, but is new to the smart home market. For example, the B-Hyve 12-Station Smart WiFi Sprinkler Timer ($119.99) allows you program your sprinklers from anywhere using your smartphone and uses Smart Watering to determine when to water. However, the B-Hyve lacks thorough water usage reporting and third-party integration included in our Editors’ Choice, the Rachio Gen2 Smart Sprinkler Controller.

The B-Hyve ($80.99 at Amazon) is weatherproof and has built-in surge and fault protection. An IPX5 weatherproof gray enclosure measures 6.2 by 8.7 by 3.2 inches (HWD). The left-opening door panel features a lock and three robust hinges. A 55-inch heavy-duty three-pronged power connection protrudes from the enclosure’s bottom, and there are two knockouts for sprinkler cables.

A 3.5-by-2.5-inch monochrome LCD, four large rubberized buttons (Prog ABC, Back, Clear, Rain Delay), and a huge jog dial for accessing the menu and entering selections are behind the door. The Prog ABC button allows you to design various watering schedules for different areas of your yard (like lawn, flower bed, and vegetable garden). The Rain Delay button suspends all watering for up to 32 days, and the Back and Clear buttons navigate the menu system.
