Review: Well justified 5 stars - I've been waiting for a wifi controlled sprinkler timer for years. This is the first that sells at a reasonable price and from a very trusted company (i've used orbit timers for a very long time), so I finally pulled the trigger on this. I have a self installed rainbird DIY underground sprinkler system (which I also highly recommend) which hooks up to the hose connection. My system is split between two zones, so I have two b-hyve timers hooked up to a splitter at the hose connection. Long-story made short, this whole set-up works just as well as I need it to, and all in all for a couple hundred bucks (sprinkler system plus these timers), I have a system that is much more intelligent than the systems my neighbors spent thousands of dollars on. Pairing the hub to your phone and the timers to the hub is very straight-forward...anyone who's capable enough to pair their own bluetooth devices should be able to set this up. Once everything is paired, it's really up to you how deep into the customization/automation you want to go. If you want static schedules, then you can very easily set those via the app. If you want to add automatic weather delays based on rain forecasts, you can set the parameter in which a delay should be added, and you're good to go. If you want to use the full-on smart watering which decides when and how long to water based on weather forecasts, water-flow rate, soil type, etc then you'll have to feed the app a bit more information. The jury is still out for me in terms of how accurate the smart watering feature is...particularly since I'm running a two zone sprinkler system with a total of 6 heads that overlap in terms of coverage. You do have the ability to make adjustments to the smart watering decisions made by the software (i.e. decrease the duration of watering sessions), and can manually start watering as needed if you're not getting as much rain as forecasted. Either way its nice to have a system that automatically accounts for the weather so you're not over-watering...or in the case of the brutal summers in the south...ensuring that you're watering enough when the temps get high. All in all, I'm impressed with the system. I suspect that the automation will not be perfect and some tweaking will be needed, but even having the ability to trigger my sprinklers on and off without having to step outside is enough reason for me to pick these up. Review: A great way to easily add irrigation without digging - You have three options when you start adding new plants to a yard: you can water manually all the time, you can do a ton of digging to add zones to your sprinkler system, or you can do one of these. I moved into the B-hyve ecosystem a few years ago when my old Rainmachine died and it was obvious that the company wasn't coming back. I've very glad that I did. - Easy to set up. Attach to your faucet, attach your hose, turn on the water, and use the app to set and forget. - The Bluetooth-WiFi bridge is a must if you don't yet have one. Otherwise it can only be programmed and monitored when your phone is in range. It also means no persistent data access. - When the instructions say "don't leave this outside in freezing weather", it's serious. I had one valve crack because of this. When you have a freeze warning, turn off the faucet and disconnect it to prevent damage. - A pair of AA batteries lasts the entire season. It's nice to not burn through a ton of them. - The application has improved with time. It used to be a lot less intiutive. Even so, the software has some learning curve if you need to make manual adjustments. It's also frustrating that each device is managed completely separately rather than from a unified console. The web interface has been quite broken for some time and is basically unusable, but the mobile app is good enough that this is an annoyance rather than a barrier to use. If you're looking for an alternative to the major smart sprinkler vendors in a way that gives you more control, this is the best option on the market right now. ## Features - Effortless Automatic Watering: The Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer delivers precise, timed watering for your plants, making smart house watering easy - Reliable Plant Care: With this irrigation timer, you can set your garden to water automatically so you can enjoy consistent hydration for flowers, vegetables, and lawns - Remote Garden Management: Control your watering system from anywhere using the Wi-Fi hub and user-friendly app that lets you adjust schedules and monitor flow conveniently from your smartphone - Water-Saving & Weather Aware: The timer supports drought responsive watering with intelligent weather adjustments to conserve water and prevent overwatering - Two-Year Limited Warranty: We warrant this product against material or workmanship defects for two years from purchase for private use, without limiting free statutory consumer right - Smart Solutions: Orbit saves time and water with intuitive solutions; we're trusted for dependable performance and greener outdoor spaces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0758NR8DJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #125,689 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #237 in Watering Timers | | Brand | Orbit | | Brand Name | Orbit | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 8,007 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046878210042 | | Included Components | timer, hub | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.89"D x 7.48"W x 9.23"H | | Item Type Name | Smart Hose Faucet Timer | | Item Weight | 1.03 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ORBIT IRRIGATION | | Manufacturer Part Number | 21004 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 years. | | Material | plastic or rubber | | Material Type | plastic or rubber | | Model Number | 21004 | | Number of settings | 5 | | Product Dimensions | 7.89"D x 7.48"W x 9.23"H | | Smart Home Compatibility | Smart Home Compatible | | UPC | 046878210042 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Orbit - **Color:** Gray - **Item Weight:** 1.03 Pounds - **Material:** plastic or rubber - **Product Dimensions:** 7.89"D x 7.48"W x 9.23"H ## Images ![Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - One Outlet Timer for Lawn & Garden - App Controlled Wi-Fi System - Adjustable Watering Schedule - 21004 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71q5mde3HnL.jpg) ![Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - One Outlet Timer for Lawn & Garden - App Controlled Wi-Fi System - Adjustable Watering Schedule - 21004 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81V8rSkbJEL.jpg) ![Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - One Outlet Timer for Lawn & Garden - App Controlled Wi-Fi System - Adjustable Watering Schedule - 21004 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71REvtLlJ0L.jpg) ![Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - One Outlet Timer for Lawn & Garden - App Controlled Wi-Fi System - Adjustable Watering Schedule - 21004 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91p3OR9QfgL.jpg) ![Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - One Outlet Timer for Lawn & Garden - App Controlled Wi-Fi System - Adjustable Watering Schedule - 21004 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RknnnZjyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well justified 5 stars *by S***A on April 21, 2019* I've been waiting for a wifi controlled sprinkler timer for years.

I attempted to connect it again was unable to initially. I emailed Orbit tech support and they told me to push the button on each of the units 6 times to reset it to connect via bluetooth - I guessed it would have been more of a push an hold type but it did reset it. The hub connected easy enough to wifi but the hose connector didn't connect to hub initially. I spent about an hour fiddling with it so it could connect via bluetooth to the wireless hub (I don't understand that)? It eventually connected to the hub and I thought I was all good. I hooked it up to my hose, setup the watering program and gave it a try. When trying to manually run it for 10 minutes - it would run but no where in the app does it say how to shut it off? I would have liked a simple on and off/green light/red light type of interface in the app. Last night, I was eager to see the unit go off at the time I set it up. It didn't go off at the time I set. I waited about 5 minutes after the time it was supposed to go off and it still didn't work. All the app said is that it would water tomorrow per the program I setup. Umm... why didn't it go off, smart watering wasn't enabled, just no information. As a person who is in IT and have setup a variety of smart home devices both simple and a bit more complex this product is still not ready. I would advise Orbit to look at products like the Belkin Wemo, Smartthings, Nest, Ring etc... They are not perfect products but they have a relatively simple setup and they are easy to manage. This faucet timer's app is confusing and not intuitive - I would encourage a UI designer to take a look and work to simplify basic functions and make setup easier. I was looking for an easy on and off, set a schedule and perhaps have it ask me if it needs to water if it is raining - something easy like that type of UI experience. This app was hard to manually turn on and off the water via the app. I have decided to use the old school yet highly rated Orbit Single Outlet Programmable Hose Faucet Timer (https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-Single-Programmable-Standard-Packaging/dp/B004INGS8S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525107301&sr=8-1&keywords=orbit+hose+timer&dpID=41xO3KV2tEL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) it was a breeze to setup and seems to work well with my drip system and garden boxes. Orbit, if you need some input on the product or to rework it I would be happy to help. I was very excited about this product and hope it becomes a well baked solution soon. I love the idea of automating my drip system, saving water etc... Was very excited to receive this product after its announcement at CES. We recently installed our garden boxes and a Rainbird drip system. The final piece was installing this cool smart watering faucet timer. For the record - I installed the app on my iPhone 8, running the latest version of IOS. I also have a wireless mesh network with ample Wi-Fi available outside. I followed the quick start guide and tried to install both the Wi-Fi hub and timer with the help of the app. When I got done the timer would only connect via Bluetooth. Uh... I need it connected to the internet for all the fancy weather stuff to work. I started over to see if I had made a mistake. After trying to start over, resetting the whole system, trying the install from scratch and even trying it with a new account, the whole thing just wouldnt work. I find the app to be pretty bad. You are asked to select what you want to install. Then it uses Bluetooth to connect - the first time it sort of worked but then you have to do the install twice to get the timer to work - then only the Bluetooth worked on the timer. Really confusing.... my impression is this product is not well baked yet. Was hoping for a simple install like many smart home devices I have. This just doesn’t work. :/ I’m returning it for a manual watering timer unfortunately. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 21004 B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub - Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler (Sprinkler on Spike) - Biswing Garden Hose Splitter 2 Way, Heavy Duty Brass Connector Tap Splitter, Y Splitter 2 Valves with 2 Extra Rubber Washers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/60382679-orbit-b-hyve-smart-hose-watering-timer-with-wi-fi](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/60382679-orbit-b-hyve-smart-hose-watering-timer-with-wi-fi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
