Review: Much easy to setup than the Gen. 1 timer - This version of timer is much easy to setup than Gen. 1 version. The Gen. 2 hub was "found" by the app in no time and firmware update time was very short too when comparing with Gen. 1 hub. I hadn't setup the timer itself using the knob on the timer yet, I used the app to do the manual watering. Again, firmware update of this timer itself was fast too when comparing with Gen. 1 timer. The whole setup worked immediately after timer finished firmware update. The only complain that I have is the packaging of the timer when I received from desertcart. It did not come with original packaging. Timer was wrapped in bubble warp and hub (2 pieces) were in 2 separated sealed bags. All 3 pieces along with the 2 user manuals were in a cartoon box, very loosely. All pieces were rocking around inside the cartoon box ! Update (6/18/2024): the timer itself was locked by the App once I used the App to control the timer (manual & auto watering). Clock in timer also displays the correct time as my cell phone. No need to setup the clock in timer. One thing about Auto watering, I setup to water for 1 hour and 45 minutes. However, the App finished the watering after 2.5 hours. It never happened to Gen. 1 timer. It turned out that in the App's Program Watering setup, there was a new option called "water budget". Mine was set to 139% such that the programmed water time would multiple by 1.39. That increased the my water time by another 25 minutes. After I changed the "budget" back to 100%, programmed water time became the exact time I needed. Review: Great automated valve, love it! - Very happy with my orbit b-hyve smart hose valve. The port extension is they must have so you do not have to be standing by the valve to make it work, you can be anywhere that you get Wi-Fi. ## Features - EFFORTLESS AUTO WATERING - Orbit B-hyve XD Smart Hose Timer controls watering based on precise local weather data, ensuring your plants receive the perfect amount of water. - SMART IRRIGATION TIMER - Program the XD wirelessly via Wi-Fi or locally through Bluetooth.

The port extension is they must have so you do not have to be standing by the valve to make it work, you can be anywhere that you get Wi-Fi. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Hunter’s Hose Faucet Timer *by M***. on 30 July 2023* I originally purchased Hunter’s Hose Tap Timers, just to have the app stop working with the Apple iOS platform. After reading a lot of the reviews, I ordered Orbits B-Hyve hose tap timer system and was so happy with the reliability and its functionality that I ordered more to replace the rest of the Hunter Tap Timers. If the WiFi goes down or if the app stops working, I can still manually run and adjust the program directly from the interface screen on the timer itself. The WiFi capabilities have allowed me to manually run, monitor and make the necessary adjustments from anywhere in the world with just the click of a computer button or tap on the phone screen. If Orbit could 1) add interval timer with at least 8 start times and 2) have all of the tap timers communicate with each other to operate and monitor as one system like the LinkTap, then I would give 5 stars. ## 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.nz/products/264841410-b-hyve-smart-hose-watering-timer](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/264841410-b-hyve-smart-hose-watering-timer) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
