Yep, I like mine too. I have the indoor/outdoor model which is nice if your phone is dead or you can't find it and you just wanna cut the irrigation on.
Helpful hint, make sure your unit has a good WiFi connection. If not it will drop often. If need be you could put an access point out there to make sure connection is pure, without running through walls.
Brett, a huge benefit that I found was flushing sprinklers. I redid all 52 of my sprinklers. As dirt got in the sprinklers, in the PVC, or in the threads. 2nd. I have a garden zone. Sometimes the garden needs watering 2 or 3 times a day. I can comfortably water from work any day. 👍
I bought theorbit bhyve 4 zone after my rainbird cost me a $500 water bill. I have loved my new controller and i havent received another high bill since
Hey Brett! I have a question I have several people telling me not to mow my 1momth old new sodded Tiftuf Bermuda low. And I’m not talking 0.5” I’m talking about 1-1.5”. People always seem to lecture me on HOC on new Bermuda. I’m using a manual reel mower and mowing 2-3times a week. A landscaper told me to keep it at 2” for first year. What do you recommend
That sure is a fine sprinkler controller compared to mine (which is me waking up at 5:30AM to the alarm and going outside and turning on my sprinkler😂)
That unit is so compact and simpler than the old unit!
That Bermuda is looking fine 😎
And yes to the bhyve! Love mine
Glad to hear you like it!

Nice!
Wow that is much smaller than the old one. You will enjoy that system much more.
I’m loving it for sure.
Congrats on 10K subs!!!! That’s awesome!
Thanks Vince. I appreciate it!
Your lawn is looking great from what you started with when you moved in, good video Brett! 👍🏼
Thanks my friend!
Have this unit, love it!
Congrats on 10k. I just ordered the 4-zone for $50. Such a deal!
That lawn! 💪🏼

Great hint for sure.
Looks good I have 15 zones can it be expanded

Congrats on 10k subs! I really like the wi fi controller I have.
Thanks Ben!
Seems easy enough!! Well done!
Thanks don!
Should have gone Rachio my man 👊🏼👍🏼
But any WiFi controller I’m sure is amazing over manual clock🤘🏼
I’m happy so far!
I'm having a problem with my 3 zone not coming on. how did you fix the issue when you had it??
What type of grass is that in the front ?

Can you use Google assistant with the orbit b hyve?

Haha it’s good for you.
mine took 3 times to pair and 4 times to connect to wifi. can't forget the updates in between
Have you made a video on solar powered irrigation controls? I need to investigate more for my golf green
What kind of router do you have?
I was shopping that very same unit Brett - thanks for the review. How long was the total install with all the connectivity issues?
Less than an hour all in.
I have 10 zones lol, I need to order the wifi controller adapter from Rainbird. Or I may just upgrade it all together.
Can you control it from your computer? Thanks
I really need to upgrade to a wireless controller. I still have one of those artifacts.
It’s so nice.
@@Brettsgrasscapades my issue is I need an outdoor one and they're a bit more spendy
@@PacificNorthwestLawns just do it.
@@Brettsgrasscapades not all of us is making that YM salary there bud...lol
If your wifi goes out. Are you able to control it manually?
Yes initially setup is via bluetooth so you can put wifi info in, so you can stand next to it with your phone and do it via bluetooth

Been looking at a cheaper option to replace my non WiFi Rainbird controller. Can’t believe I haven’t seen this one.
I’m really liking it so far and it’s so cheap!
Didn't know people use a lawn type sprinkler in a flower bed or landscape area...i thought it was the drip system all this while
That’s what was here when I bought the place. So I’ll go with it!
@@Brettsgrasscapades does it have any negative effects that you know of?
@@samuelasamoah6906 not from what I’ve seen. Water is water.
How's the software? Vs say a rachio?
Weather intelligence? Cycle soak capability? Etc
Haven’t gotten that far into it yet. It appears to have integrated functionality for those things but I haven’t explored that yet.
