bhyve Pro
This is the companion App for award-winning b·hyve Pro irrigation controllers. Homeowners can download the non-Pro version of the b·hyve App at no charge.
***KEY FEATURES***
WIFI and BLUETOOTH – Because WiFi is not always available on a job site, the b·hyve app and controller allow you to set up and operate the controller using Bluetooth. Once a WiFi connection is established at a site, the owner of the WiFi router can provide a permission code that enables off-site management of the controller from anywhere in the world.
EPA- AND SWAT-CERTIFIED – Having passed the rigorous EPA WaterSense and SWAT certifications, the b·hyve Pro Controller with Smart Watering is certified to use water more efficiently and is eligible for rebates in many cities or water districts across the country.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING – You can set the controller to water in two basic ways: 1) on a fixed schedule, such as during a new landscape grow-in period; 2) with Smart Watering, and let local weather conditions determine the schedule.
MULTI-SITE MANAGEMENT – You can manage and control an unlimited number of b·hyve controllers from the convenience of one application. Once the timer is connected to the Internet, secure access can be shared in a number of different combinations using an app-generated code.
CATCH CUPS – With various water savings options integrated right into the app, there are multiple ways to achieve optimum water savings with the b·hyve Pro Timer. In addition to Smart Watering, it incorporates the award-winning catch-cup feature right into the app to deliver up to 25% more water savings over other smart controllers.
ALEXA – Works with Alexa. For a list of Alexa commands visit bhyve.hydrorain.com.

You might be wondering what the difference is between this app and the free one? Did they finally realize having to click and connect into each device to program is poor design, tedious and there should be a unified interface to program a hub group at once? Nope. From what I can tell they added a map button, made the device tab look a little different, and added an extra share version that looks the same as device sharing in the free app. Everything else appears identical, except it's $10.
Fix your app! The zone watering history and future watering schedules display random information so you really have no idea what is going on with your watering. Also, the system skips watering because of forecast rain on the schedule page, even though we have no rain at my house and the "smart watering" feature is turned off in the app.
Works well for what I need it to do. Gives me good schedule options for my sprinkler system. Smart watering option is a cool idea, but I don't use it as I prefer to have more control over when and how long watering occurs.
This app allows users to create irrigation schedule allowing for gardeners etc. to do routine work. however if you need to adjust or cancel. It can be done from anywhere as long as you have your smartphone and a signal. The rain delay feature is one of my favorites.
Loaded with flaws. You guys need to sit down and fix them. The Pro has more flaws than the free one. What's up? Mainly connection problems between the hub and timer less than 3 feet the timer has no idea there's a hub in front of it. The free one has more features 😄
App works great,lots off information in app,smart watering feature is very useful once it's set up properly and can save alot on your water bill,providing that the timer is connected to your Wi-Fi and the watering will be determined by your weather forecast...very cool.
I paid for this app because a video posted said you can change the email address from within the app. Why is this not an option with the free, paid, or website apps? If I sell my property, am I supposed to rip out the timer because I can't change the email address? Ridiculous! What if I am unable to get into my email used. This is common sense to allow users to change email addresses if they choose.
The app worked during the winter when my arigation system was off, sending me rain delay notifications etc. Since the spring, I have been unable to work the system with this app. I've unplugged and reset the main panel and uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
About a month ago I installed my first smart controller. Even though the old controller was top off line, it wasn't easy to use. my new smart controller and b-hyve is incredibly easy to program and operate.
Absolutely awesome experience with this app and product. I have one hub and five timers. Setup was a little challenging but customer support was great. Zero issues with my current setup....you can't beat the smart watering feature.
I like most of the functions of this package but I am frustrated that it doesn't keep accurate watering history and does not allow setting 0 watering time for specific zones within a program. overall very useful but limited.
This sprinkler controler is absolutely amazing. Every feature I could ever think of having is at my fingertips on my mobile device. Easy to set up, easy to program zones, more time for other things. Fantastic!
I really like this app. I like the access from anywhere, the easy interface with a variety of options, the easy installation, and the improvements being made over time!
this system started out great and they keep improving it. just make sure you have a good wifi signal. just barely detecting the signal is not enough to make an operate correctly.
Multiple crashes on new update. Worked great prior to this recent update. Load time is incredibly long and doesn't recognize wifi signals on many occasions. Please fix.
Just bought it, the settings screen won't accept any input and has crashed twice. Samsung 8+ am willing to wait for beta (seeing other people having these issues). But when is it coming?
I had some little hiccups with the timer at first. Mostly my fault. but once installed so far its a dream. The ease of use is stellar. I have yet to try smart watering. Next spring.
I get a login issue just about every week. I have to re-enter my info and get a message stating it's wrong, but later in the day it seems to reset and I'm logged backed in. Very fustrating!
Sometimes the rain delay is off and will kick in right after it's completed watering in the rain. Also if there is a power outage I always have to go outside and unplug the unit to get it reconnected to the wifi
CAN'T EVEN CONNECT TO THE TIMER. WHAT A MAJOR FAIL
Great product. Easy installation and wifi setup. Many options. Smart watering recognizes local rain days and delays accordingly. Highly reccommend.
It's great, and using the Pro app, once the data is added, the sprinkler system runs by itself, with no further input.
Can't connect to the device with either my Pixel XL or my Samsung S9+. App keeps locking up and doesn't let me add a device.
We have had our equipment for a year now. The app is very user friendly. So much variety in what you can control. It's fantastic!! I highly recommend this product.
Application is fine, I like it. I gave you 1 star less because of this: I cannot create custom commands, in Alexa. Instead running the command Alexa opens b-hyve skill in interactive mode.
Sometimes has trouble staying online, but for most if the time, it's great and so easy to use! Awesome product!
Once set up it is very easy to control and allows for more start times than any timer I have ever used.
New issue, if you run manually, I used to be able to pick and choose the order of zones, now, it automatically runs in the numeric order of the zones. This doesn't work for me. Sometimes I want to mix up the zone order
