Orbit B-Hyve XR Smart Sprinkler Timer Unboxing Installation and Review

► WATCH our review of the Flume Water Monitor: https://youtu.be/p1FRf0l3mjg
Orbit makes a line of garden products under the B-hyve brand. We unbox, install and review their latest sprinkler timer, the B-hyve XR. This is a smart irrigation controller that you can control with your smart phone, front panel, Alexa or Google Home.

The B-hyve XR even syncs with the Flume Water Monitor, a smart home water monitor to track water usage and provide that info to the XR to accurately record the amount of water used every time a zone runs. The XR comes in 8 or 16 zones and is water resistant so you can mount it indoors or out. Connecting your valve wires is super easy with push button connections.

Watch this video to see the B-hyve XR in action.

TURNS OUT you can share your XR Sprinkler Timer but you have to look for DEVICE SHARING on the DEVICE DETAILS screen under the picture of your controller on the top left of the screen. It doesn't look clickable but it is. From there you can specify Managers and Guests. Guests can only do basic functions like run a zone, and they can't change any of your setup. You get to the DEVICE DETAILS screen by clicking the "My B-Hyve" tab at the bottom of the home screen, then DEVICES and finally click on the picture of your XR.
