Amazing and clear video!! The customer service stinks!! When on "budget" why wouldnt we just keep it at 100%? Not clear on that... Also when we are done programmimg, can we just go "back"? Do we have to go to "Off?" Thx so much for your help!!! :)
Budget is just an easy way to bump up or down watering times. If it is hot out and you want to increase the amount of water you are putting down, instead of changing all the times, you can just hit Budget and then adjust it by whatever you want. 125% would mean your set time is now going to run 25% longer. Yes you can just go back after you have programmed a feature.
Question: How do I edit zones? Example my sides flowers/bushes are zone A and lawn is zone B. A starts first but want to change it to B first, then A as second. Anyone? Ty…
this is the best instruction but will still leave homeowner confused as hell how to progam at device. there is absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS to manually program AT DEVICE ...likely installed on ur garage wall where u find ur Wi-Fi signal won't go...........B- HYVE provides no instructions anywhere that u can understand so u can walk out to ur garage and water a zone, like a flower bed getting scorched in the summer heat. No phone? ur screwed and B-Hyve has no instructions to help u.
Orbit spinklers have typical problems that after warranty you will have an error messages NO AC and system will not start. No support form ORBIT staff and only one information is that you can buy a new one or send you to "repair" with probably cost of new one. So ORBIT spinkler = working time 2 years or little more if you are lucky. I hardly disrecomend this brand.
I understood most of this video tutorial, except for a couple of the options, which made absolutely no sense to me at all, and I was totally confused on .. One was concerning the delay setting and the other was a budget setting … Regarding the rain delay setting .. You said you set the delay at 32 days (this makes no sense to me, aren’t there only up to 31 days in a given month??) And, I never actually seen where you set it for the 32 days which you mentioned in the video, rather it seemed to flip instead over to hrs (and you seemed to set it to 48hrs in the video) .. so this one made no sense at all to me ??? And regarding a budget setting, Why would anyone ever need to go above 100% of the run time for that station?!! (You set yours for 120% for the run time for your station A-1 stating Aug being the reason you did this (less rain available in Ca’s weather I’m assuming??) It seems to me 100% would be the highest % you’d need for a by particular run time (??!) Help me out here .. If I have a station set for 15 mins, and I budgeted it for 120% run time for that station, how long can I expect it to run for on that station when set at that %?? (Please understand, I’m a 62 yr old woman, with a limited understanding with these sorts of devices, There are some areas I find really challenging .. math, electricity and electronics to name a few 😝 So please go easy on me folks, what may be easy and understandable to you, is a real challenge for me .. therefore please, if you respond with the answers, could you please explain it to me using answers in as simple terms as you possibly can ..thx ✌️)
Never mind .. after further investigation, I was able to get the answers and understand the concepts of the two questions I posted in this original post .. thx 😉
Thanks, this helped me out big time. You explained it and showed it in a way that even I could understand.
So much better to download the app and use the smart watering system.Thanks for the help.
I like the simplicity of your instructions. I would like to see a good explanation of program a, b, c. Why do they exist?
Can you pick different zones to run different days and change frequency on a per program basis, hope this helps! Thank you for watching
Very good video, stated simply. Thanks
Thanks for this. I bought a house with this controller, but no manual came with it.
Thank you for watching!

Helpful, thanks. Really struggling for it to link to Bluetooth and Wifi. Thinking I should have gotten the newer XR version.
This clock is 1000 times easier to work on the phone… that’s its MAIN selling point. Simple…. 🤔
Yeah, thanks for watching!
could you do a video on how to modify your run days from the controller and steps in the app?
Thanks so much!
If I accidentally set the rain delay to 30 days how do I clear it? Only thing I can think is factory resetting

Might have been In formative but you we t too fast for an old guy like me...😅
How do you add Program B C D
Thanks bud
What's rain delay again?
Hello, it is a way to postpone irrigation for days when it rains.
my Orbit timer for auto and manual is running but not watering, anyone know any tips and tricks?
Hello, check that the water is turned on or the common wire is connected in the controller. Hope this helps!

is there any way to set program for 0.5 minutes aka 30 seconds?
