I have been in the Android system for years and I am not about to change or go buy an old phone just to set up the irrigation system. Imagine my surprise when he mentions it is not working on Android products only I-phones and pads. I'm getting ready to hook it up and watch a youtube video on it.

Ordered their new wifi hub and went out and purchased a B-Hyve XD 4 Outlet hose faucet timer. I decided okay maybe they are getting old I will go get new equipment. Now they no longer show how much water they use or even if they have watered the area. I also have 4 generation1 B-Hyve hose faucet timers and a gen 1 wifi hub that has worked flawlessly till this year. I guess they can't set up automated e-mails it is too complex for them. I then go to set up a new one it has been a week and the e-mail to go set up a new one has yet to arrive. I have it in a password manager and have not changed it. First when I go to sign in it tells me my password is wrong.
Orbit b hyve update#
If nothing else has worked and you have not tried this, my advice is to reset the controller unit back to factory settings and don't update the firmware, at least not until the company comes out with a better update. We decided to reset the unit to the factory settings, and did NOT update it. He said he didn't update the firmware and his worked fine. My brother has the same unit and has had it for years without problems. I guess I bought the unit right around the time the firmware update came out because that was the first thing I was prompted to do. I was ready to return the unit because the suggestions of updating the firmware (I had already done this), deleting the app and restarting everything didn't work. No matter how many minutes I tried to do manually, the sprinklers would turn on for a few seconds and then shut off. When I finally noticed they weren't turning on because my grass died, I tried running the app manually. The app would show that a water session was going to begin, and then when the correct time arrived, the sprinklers didn't turn on and then the app immediately displayed the next watering time. I was having a similar problem as others here the sprinklers were not turning on.
