Orbit B-hyve XR Smart Sprinkler Timer - 16-Zone WiFi Irrigation Controller, Weatherproof App Control

The Orbit B-hyve XR is a weather-aware, WiFi-enabled smart sprinkler controller that manages up to 16 independent irrigation zones from your phone for precise, water-saving outdoor watering.

Designed for homeowners and landscapers who want centralized, intelligent control over complex irrigation systems, the B-hyve XR replaces conventional timers with app-driven scheduling, remote activation, and forecast-based adjustments. Built for indoor or outdoor mounting, this controller combines durable weatherproof hardware with an intuitive mobile app so you can monitor and tweak programs from anywhere.

How does the Orbit B-hyve XR simplify daily watering tasks?

The B-hyve XR automates routine watering by using programmable schedules and zone-specific settings so you don't need to manually start or stop valves. The app interface lets you create, duplicate, and modify programs quickly, and remote control means last-minute changes are possible from your phone.

• Create separate programs for lawns, beds, and drip systems
• Run or pause zones remotely via the mobile app
• Copy schedules between zones to save setup time
• On-demand manual watering from anywhere with WiFi

What water-saving features are built into this smart controller?

The controller uses forecast-driven logic to reduce unnecessary watering when rain is expected and increases watering during dry spells, helping conserve water without sacrificing plant health. You can also fine-tune run times per zone to match plant type, soil, and irrigation hardware for more efficient distribution.

• Weather-based adjustments automatically alter schedules
• Zone-level run-time customization minimizes overwatering
• Supports drip, sprinkler, and mixed-zone systems for targeted delivery
• Helps lower water bills by preventing wasted cycles

Can the B-hyve XR handle large or complex landscapes?

Yes — with support for up to 16 independent zones, the XR is built to manage substantial yards, multi-area landscapes, or properties with both sprinklers and drip lines. Each zone is programmable on its own timetable and can be combined into multiple programs for seasonal or plant-specific needs.

• 16 individually controlled zones for large properties
• Multiple programs let you schedule different frequencies and durations
• Indoor or outdoor installation options for flexible placement
• Expandable configuration to match mixed irrigation setups

How easy is setup, connectivity, and maintenance?

Setup is guided by the Orbit app and supports straightforward WiFi pairing so you can be up and running without complicated wiring changes. The housing is weatherproof for outdoor installations, and the unit is backed by a two-year limited warranty for manufacturing defects.

• App-guided installation and WiFi setup for quick startup
• Weatherproof enclosure for outdoor mounting and durability
• Remote diagnostics and scheduling reduce on-site visits
• Two-year limited warranty covers workmanship and materials

Who is this for: The Orbit B-hyve XR is ideal for homeowners, property managers, and landscapers who need dependable, centralized control of larger irrigation systems. If you maintain a multi-zone lawn, mixed beds and drip systems, or want to automate watering with weather-aware intelligence and app access, the XR provides the scale and flexibility to simplify irrigation while reducing water waste.
