Key Features:- Wi-Fi & Timer Control: The B-hyve app is fully functional for Android, iOS or web devices. Program your timer on the app, at the timer, or let the weather-based software create a program for you.
- Smart Watering: Weather Sense technology provides watering based on site conditions such as slope, soil type, sun/shade, historical ET and live weather feeds. It automatically adjusts your controller to deliver the right amount of water to your plants.
- Easy Installation: Utilize the swing panel for easy access to the angled wiring terminals; plug-and-go line cord can be cut for hardwired applications.
- EPA WaterSense approved and certified, ensuring it will save you water and energy. This can also make your B-hyve timer eligible for local rebates, which can save up to 100% of the cost on your timer.
- Durability and Security: The Orbit B-hyve Wi-Fi sprinkler timer comes in a weather-resistant case, allowing you to mount your timer indoors or outdoors without risk of weather damage and a locking cabinet that keeps your timer safe from harm.
- Water Savings: Integrate your B-hyve timer with use of Catch Cups (Orbit 26250) to save up to 50% more water than with traditional controllers.
- Voice Control: Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately). Visit help.orbitbhyve.com/alexa-commands/ for a quick guide on how you can use your B-hyve with Alexa to control your watering with a simple phrase.
- Use with 110V only: Compatible and compliant only with North American electrical outlets.

Really like that you can control everything physically on the unit as well as the app.
Have still not mastered the auto/smart watering, but works fine with traditional schedules and can have auto rain delays
So, in this case, the "dumb" aspect is actually a great thing to have. The word "dumb" (local/physical control) is merely used to contrast the "smart" features (online cloud service and/or an app requirement).

btw, the power supply can have a very loud buzzing. check that before installing.

edit: saw this (https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/14959967) deal after I had purchased at Lowe's. Would have saved me an additional $20 on 3.

Note that this will connect to your smartphone ALSO via Bluetooth if you are close by.
I was considering Rachio initially but I have very happy with these abs saved a lot of money.
Please note that some utilities will give you rebate and make this unit free or heavily discounted. Besides, the water you save will add to your savings.
One thing every smart sprinkler controller will teach you is that we do NOT have to water plants everyday and that deeper and less frequent watering is the key.

Each unit is controlled separately on the app.
