Spring is here and that means time outside landscaping your yard. Well in order to maintain your yard, you will need to make sure your lawn is getting plenty of water. Orbit has a new smart sprinkler timer to help make sure your lawn gets watered when you want it to by using the B-hyve Hose Faucet Timer.

What is the B-hyve Hose Faucet Timer

Announced at CES 2018, the smart Hose Faucet Timer allows consumers to automate, manage and optimize the entire watering process whether that is potted plants, container gardens and lawns from the B-hyve app or Amazon Alexa.

The first and only smart, EPA WaterSense-certified faucet timer on the market, B-hyve Hose Faucet saves water while maintaining a lush landscape managed from anywhere with a cellular or internet connection. B-hyve products also include proprietary Smart WeatherSense technology that receive local weather and soil data. The technology automatically adjusts the controller to deliver the right amount of water to plants and lawns so that Mom doesn’t have to even think about it.

Additional Features Include:

• Custom smart watering schedule – Users can choose the level of automation and monitoring they’re most comfortable with.
• Built-in Flow Meter – B-hyve tells users how much water they’re using and allows them to program specific amounts. It can also be programmed by time.

• Expandable System – Expand your system to control one or multiple timers with the B-hyve app.
• Multiple Users – Choose who gets access to control the time all within one account.
• Weather Monitoring – B-hyve monitors your local weather, implementing rain delays as necessary, so you don’t waste water.
