Make sure it’s compatible!!!’
Works perfect but you need to make sure what you are using is the correct Generation that will pair with this. Easy set up and has worked without any issues. Would recommend for anyone that has a existing system or a stand alone.

Seems to work.
These hubs are a bit confusing to program, especially if you are far away from tour wifi. The older valves, which is what i have, require one hub each, a fact i had nit realized until recently. The confusing part is that the setup asks whether you want to use a wifi hub or control the valve directly. Note that controlling directly means that you are asking to only use bluetooth.

Terrible reliability on a previously solid product
I've had B-hyve automation products for a couple years and they had been very dependable for a long time( excess of 1 year). I finally had a hub that failed (lost connection to my wifi). Troubleshot with assistance from Orbit and confirmed failure and was sent a replacement. The replacement did not function long at all (maybe a month or 2) and then failed in the same manner. Orbit was out of stock so I ordered from Amazon and also purchased an Assurion warranty noticing a short life span on my previous purchase. That unit failed in just a few weeks and I was directed back to B-hyve during the initial warranty period. Their customer service used to be good but now is TERRIBLE. Much is automated and if you request a callback don't expect that to happen, ever. I've purchased more on Amazon and many ship and do not work out of the box. I suspect Orbit/B-hyve knew they had a failing product and that is why they created a gen 2 hub. Sadly the devices I own 4 timers all require a gen 1 (completely unreliable) hub.

FINALLY A GREEN THUMB
I have spent hundreds of dollars on beautiful plants, but never kept it growing for more than a month. When it was time to tear up my construction grade flower bed, I was anxious. But adding this to my home made it easy to manage. It has a timer to set off the sprinklers when I want to, from wherever I am! This piece gives the other piece the capability to be controlled from the app (WHICH IS AWESOME). It always detect weather; so when it rains - it doesn’t waste your water bill and skips the watering automatically!

Limited range!!!
I have a ranch home and two of the timers on either side. Even with the hub in the center of the home under my covered porch, it didn’t connect to both devices. Really unfortunate.

So far so good
I bought this unit after I bought the timers. Getting it all the timers paired with this hub is very easy. It took me a few tries but I think it was me and not the units. Wish the instructions were more complete. Since I already had the timers I had to add the hub to devices then what I did was add the timers to the group of the hub. I did had to reboot my routers also. Just pressing the buttons on the units 5 times didn't seem to do it for me. Like I said, I added the timers to the hub's group then they were all paired and using WIFI. Now hopefully I can control from another state since that is the main reason I bought this hub.

Cannot hook up to cell
We cannot get the hub to connect to our phone. We will not be able to monitor the system and hopes it waters the grass and shrubs. Set up was fairly easy to use manually/timer, but the reason we bought this was to monitor on our cell. Very disappointed.
