Replacement timer is working fine

Thank you to your customer care department for the replacement timer. The B button on my original timer had failed to work anymore. I was fine until I had to change the home Wi-Fi system. Then I couldn’t connect anymore.
The new one connected immediately, and is working fine
I really like the ability of changing my timer from anywhere in the world.
Thank you for such a good product.

B-hyve does NOT link to WiFi

Followed all instructions perfectly but unit does not link to WiFi. It sees my home WifI but times out after a couple minutes (no linkage). Very frustrating. I had the same B-hyve irrigation controller previously in the same location and it was able to connect to my home WiFi. Called Orbit technical assist a couple times: they hung up after 5min the first time and no success the second time.

Thank you for letting us know about your experience with our XR timer and Customer Care team. We will review your conversations to see how we can improve in the future and someone from our Customer Care team will be reaching back out to help get your timer connected. Have a great rest of your day.

Great device

Easy to install, and looks great too. I just wish we had the option to install the power through wires too instead of a plug in switch but other than that, it's great.

Great customer service too

Watering History

Timer seems to work well, the only issue I have is I know its working but I cant get the watering history to show on app. I travel a lot and want to make sure its working. The issue is I have tried contacting Orbit but I always get disconnected when calling. I sent a text and will see if anybody gets back to me, if not I will return and purchase another brand. If you get frustrated when trying to get through to a companies customer service dept. I don't recommend this company.

Great Value

This controller replaced my old one and was a big improvement. I can manage it from anywhere. It is super easy to set up. I highly recommend this as a cost effective, functional and highly programmable controller.
