AND, again, according to Orbit's posts - they are not sure if google home compatibility will be a software upgrade or if WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW 2ND GENERATION UNIT. **Q: Can you connect a rain sensor to this device?** A: Yes, the timer supports a physical rain sensor in addition to the smart watering rain delays. The app does not currently recognize the physical rain sensor but the timer will work properly. Unplug the timer before connecting any external accessories including rain sensors. **Q: will it run with android phone?** A: Yes **Q: Does this work with Samsung Smartthings?** A: Currently this does not. The only smart home system this works with is the Amazon Echo ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfecto Smart Irrigation Controller *by on Reviewed in the United States May 24, 2018* The wife and I invested in our first home a year and a few months ago. I'd decided from the get go that I wanted a smart home. We got a mega deal because we bought what is essentially a "cookie-cutter" home, ie: the builders plans and we pick a model - we couldn't make any changes. This was fine for us because why spend thousands on "upgraded" appliances and features when you can't even pick the ones you want? Better to start off cheap and then pay for what we want. That's a lot of preface for a sprinkler, but I'm going somewhere with this.When you buy cheap and then pay for what you want, to me it ends up working out better. We made a big decision in buying our home and it's a place and home we plan to spend our lives in as long as no acts of God get in the way of that. So far I've been dutifully making my home smart. Starting with all light switches changed to occupancy/vacancy and or wifi/dimmer switches, all bulbs are now LED with some being Wifi/Dimmer capable, some smart cameras around the place, etc. When you're "smartifying" your home you can either do it all at once if you have that kind of money, do it cheapest to most expensive stuff or do it most expensive to cheapest. We're not rich, we're comfortable so I've taken the middle route, cheapest parts and ending with the more expensive stuff like appliances.Where we live, our city has pretty strict rules regarding sprinkler systems - 2 days weekly for/between 4 hrs. Personally I don't know why. It rains during most of the year and whenever there's a drought there's a huge river and canals always filled to the brim but hey, they've gotta know something I don't, I've only been here for 2+ years. That being said, we had a basic sprinkler system, of course because when you buy a "cookie-cutter" home, almost everything you get as a part of the home is basic. As I said, that was fine for us. I'd put the controller as one of the later things to upgrade for the main reason that sprinklers are generally a set it and forget it thing. However ours was being slightly problematic. While it has a battery backup to keep settings, for some reason the time would be "off" due to power outages and of course, I'd have to head to change them whenever DST switched. Recently, we got our 2nd warning that the sprinkler was on when it wasn't supposed to be. This was due to a power outage that put our times off by about 10m. So they literally caught our system within that 10m "offf" window. I started getting serious into looking for smart or at the very least wifi enabled sprinkler controllers. .Enter the Orbit. I'm so happy with the system that I'm here only a day later writing its praises. I took some time deciding on systems because initially they're pretty expensive when you look up "smart" controllers. Most of the devices I found were in the hundreds and just not worth it for me, many are 6 or 8 zone and I only needed 3. I was in shock when I was able to pick up the Orbit for what I got it for. Not only was it less than 1/2 the price of other smart controllers, it was also cheaper than the most basic smart controllers, so I was prepared to make some compromises as one should when devices are on the cheaper end of the spectrum vs. others in their category. I can gladly say, no concessions or compromises made. This thing does everything and more.For one, with this controller you get a dual system. Many smart sprinkler controllers if you notice, have no head/base where they can be programmed. It must be done over/using the smartphone or a website. Not so with this system - you get a head unit that looks and behaves the same as a non wifi system where you can do everything you need to in terms of programming the system. This was a big deal for me because going back to what I said earlier, I'm a fan of value and I tend to look at things long term. How many cloud based companies have we seen shut down or change hands? If a product with a headless unit (ie: can't program from the base) has a cloud unit that shuts down, your sprinkler system is essentially useless for the most part because you no longer have a place to log into, to be able to access your system. The same could happen if the tech is bought out. If another company buys Rachio, just as an example and this company isn't interested in sprinkler systems, eventually that unit can no longer function because said company would have no need to keep the cloud going. There are 2 big differences with Orbit for me. The first is that the brand has been around for some time. I don't know irrigation products and I know 2 brand names, Hunter and Orbit so this was a good thing. For me this meant that it was highly unlikely for any of the shut down or sell out scenarios. I figured the worse case would be they sold to another irrigation company anyway. Secondly, the device is controlled both ways and independently. You can use it from the head unit solely, you can use it from the app or you can use it both ways. Finally, just like the other cloud/wifi sprinkler systems, it has a "smart" system that watches the weather for when it rains etc. and can smartly utilize your irrigation system. My system only has 3 zones because again, the builder created it all in a cheaper way. The pressure is really great in my home and the garden is no less. The entirely front left and side of my home is a zone running about ~6 sprinklers, the same for the right and then the back yard is a zone. So I have lots of sprinklers but only 3 zones and they run really well. My unit is installed on the outside of my home and many wifi sprinkler systems have to be installed inside or put into a special weather box externally. This unit comes fit for external use, so that saved me spending extra for either hiring someone to put it inside my garage or buy a box to put it into outside.In the end, I have to say that I'm fairly happy. It took me about 30m to physically install the controller and another 10m to program it using the app. The 1st floor of my home is concrete so I was a bit worried about wifi strength through the wall but it gets 4 solid bars. Setup in the app is easy. You create an account and add the device - once it's powered on and detectable, the app will immediately tell you that the device has been located, where you can then connect to it. Once connected, that's it, you're good to go. I simply took a picture of where my cables were on my Hunter unit and moved them directly over. I did have to drill an extra hole because the same of the unit is different than the Hunter. Once I did what I had to, it just worked. I tested it by doing a 1m manual start of each zone to see exactly where and what my zones were and then I set my schedule so it will never water on non-water days for me but is completely free to water (or not) on my 2 set days with my 4 hour window. The app is super easy to use and easily understandable, really well made. As I mentioned, you can turn smart watering on, where it'll detect when it rains and can put off watering for a day or more. You can also program using restrictions like mine, only on certain days or odd/even days or have an interval. I won't go into details but I doubt anyone will find it lacking what they'd need. I really like it and am very happy with the system so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great lawn irrigation product *by on Reviewed in the United States July 27, 2026* I had an Orbit sprinkler controller with a remote controller. It was helpful if you were in range of the stationary controller. Sometimes a pain.My antenna broke and no longer was useful. So, I bought the Orbit B-hive -6- zone app controlled Smart Controller. WoW! It connects to my wifi giving me control from anywhere with my phone, if I have cell service. Its easy to install and extremely easy to use. Not only do I have control from anywhere, my wife has control with her phone also.If you allow the B-hive to notify, it will notify its action for each zone. It also notifies if power is lost to the controller. There are many other options available like manual watering, manual rain delay, smart watering and modifications to the programs remotely. This product was well thought out. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why pay $400 when B-hyve delivers! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 25, 2016* I purchased this to replace a dying Rainbird. I figured if I was going to buy a new one, might as well upgrade a little. I did a lot of comparisons, watched plenty of YouTube videos that compared many units side by side. Some brands ranged as high as $400. I only have 3 zones so I was not looking for a zone heavy unit, although this brand offers up to 12 zones (I purchased the 6 zone model).I have had the unit for a few weeks now and this is what I think thus far:- Installation was very easy. Actually, I installed it at night with a flashlight in about 20 min! I needed a drill with a concrete bit and a screwdriver.- I was pleasantly surprised to see it came with a handy small screwdriver to attach the wires internally which I will add were conveniently located.- Punching the hole in the housing was a little challenging, but I appreciated it as well. I ended up using a very fine drill bit and making a number of perforations around the hole I wanted to knock out. It took a little effort, but I really didn't mind it.- Once I powered it on, I downloaded the app (search for Orbit) and went through the instructions pretty seamlessly. I had seen a YouTube where the installer had a hard time getting the app to connect, but I did not have a single hiccup, in fact, I was impressed with how easy it was.- I have yet to touch a dial or press any of the buttons as the app allowed me to program everything very easily and I was up and running in just a few minutes.- I can now control my sprinklers from work or anywhere in the world (which is excessive in my opinion).Tips:- Smart watering is the best part about it. It was slightly challenging setting this up. You basically need to go into the zone, activate smart watering for that zone, and provide as much information to the app as possible. It connects to the internet and knows forecasted temperatures and chance of rain. Based on these and your location, it will take over and water your grass (based on type of plant/grass) and take the guess work out of how often to water and for how long. You can even indicate any watering restrictions your community/city might have such as even/odd number, # of days in a week, specific days you are allowed to water, and finally start time. There is a calendar feature that will record historical data and advise when the next watering day will be. You can very easily adjust it or rain delay right from the app.- I like that you can use the app anywhere you have an internet connection (even if its not on the same wifi network). This allows me to test zones pretty easily without having to run back and forth to the box. It will even send me an alert on my phone when watering is complete.- The system is expandable as well. You can add water sensors throughout your lawn that will directly and accurately communicate to the B-hyve the moisture level in your lawn. If you spend some money on the catch cups, you can perfectly calibrate your sprinklers as well (this is a bit too advanced for my 3 zone home)- The B-hyve works great for a mixed zone system. For example, if you have a zone for your grass, another for your bushes, and a thrid as a drip system for a garden. The B-hyve can be set to smart water all these zones independently and it understands the difference between a drip garden system and a grassy lawn on a clay foundation.- The only thing missing from this unit is for it to connect to Amazon Echo's Alexa, but then again, do I really need Alexa when B-hyve is doing its job? ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 57946 B-hyve Smart Indoor/Outdoor 6-Station WiFi Sprinkler System Controller - Orbit 57915 B-hyve 4-Zone Smart Sprinkler Controller, Gray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/26257223-b-hyve-smart-indoor-outdoor-sprinkler-controller](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/26257223-b-hyve-smart-indoor-outdoor-sprinkler-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
