hi Vivian sounds awesome. glad to hear they are working out.

You are welcome.

Hi Cathy, are you talking about the Bhyve XR? The XD attaches to your hose bib, the XR is a sprinkler system controller that controls in ground valves. If I'm mistaken, just let me know the timestamp on the video so I can see what you are asking about.

thank you. you tell the program about the type of soil and slope plus sun and so forth. plus what type of irrigation devices like drip or spray. then you tell it what zones to water and for how long. turning on smart watering then calculates how much water is in the soil and adjusts accordingly. you also tell it where the nearest weather station is and it uses that data to get closer to what is needed. in the end it’s a bit of its smarts and your guess as to how long.

@Appmyhome ah! That makes sense. Thank you! Are you still using these devices today?

yes we have two XDs and one XR. the XR is their irrigation controller, supports 8 or 16 zones.

B-hyve has good support and would be a better source to answer your question.

you’re welcome

the gen 2 should get you going. the gen 1 hubs don’t work with the XD.

if the wifi is down, or the bluetooth, the device will remember the schedule. if you want to run it manually you can do that anytime from the controls on the unit.

Look on the top left of the app. you will see either a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth symbol. Click it and you should be able to change it to either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. (switching from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi is actually stated as disconnect Bluetooth, don't blame me for that confusion, LOL) but in any case that's the way I know. So from this my assumption is that if it says Wi-Fi you aren't communicating to the XD via Bluetooth, though the Hub is. The other way to tell is to get a distance away from the XD, ie out of bluetooth range and see if you can still control it.

no kidding. would seem if you have those temps freezing an XD would be least of your problems. hope you have inside shutoffs on those faucets.

Our XDs have good pressure. There is only a mesh filter in there so I wouldn't expect a reduction. We also put a back flow preventer out the outputs and they seem to have no effect. Likely best to call B-Hyve, there service department is really good - you get to talk to a human.

Haven't seen an issue as you describe. Only issue we have seen is the preventer sticks out and hits the filter screen. We solved that by adding an extension.

@@Appmyhome hello when I try to connect but I got the timer orbital BYVI tap this type of device it is writing already connected to the server but connected I tried to reset it was not the pressure press that blue light is flashing yellow lights even when a reset on the internet I tried to set out as it enters the pairing mode but still the product says it connects to another device b assistant Do you have a solution I love you no matter

Hi Mete, not sure I understand the issue, can you provide more details?

A@@Appmyhome I reset the device and tried to set it up but it said it was installed on another account(sorry i don't know english i translated it via google translate)

You have to contact Bhyve and ask them to switch the account for that device. They can be reached here. support.orbitonline.com/lang/en_us/

that is interesting. we use iPhone so that hasn't been an issue. I take it the hub was their latest model? Curious if you contacted their support about the Android app.

Hm. They might have fixed that because I connect to my 3 units via an android phone

According to the Bhyve site, the Gen 2 "This hub works with Device Model Numbers 24511, 24516, 24632, 24537, 24634, 54539, 71000, 71003, and 71005." We have both Hub types in our house and the 21005 and other equipment like the XD and they seem to work well together. At least they allow for a larger coverage area for bluetooth. Best bet would be to talk to their customer service to be sure.

we are now using Duracell copper top which I believe are alkaline.

cool
