They have been in business for at least 10 years.. I have to laugh when people say if a company drops support etc... Of course that is true but then you are not going to buy a lot things that depend on company support.
Further mine does not totally depend on the app, that is only for remote changes. I can do anything from the box I can do with the app just not remotely.
"The reimbursable labor costs include all labor associated with the proper installation of the smart controller "
Also, Walmart has it at the same price in case you want to increase your return window to 90-days.
The bhyve does have an optional water measure thingy so it won't water if enough rain comes down, despite the weather predictions.
I got the 12zone bhyve couple? years ago.. only had 5 zones at the time. Been happy with it.
Have added 6 zones to my drip irrigation to each of my 6 garden beds. Love it.
Originally just did one zone for all beds, then got some cheap solenoids and bingo, all beds have individual drip irrigation.
i would probably go with the orbit based on branding alone

So, what other parts do I need to buy if I am interested in automated like 6 hoses around the yard? I guess this is for those that have a real irrigation system vs. a bunch of hoses.
I see they sell this https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-B-hy...R8DJ&psc=1
But, it's about the same as this unit and it seems like it includes an app and a method of monitoring?
I just planned a bunch of trees in the front and back and looking for a way to water them 1-2x a day without worrying about forgetting.
Appreciated it!
At this price I'm not concerned at all. In for one. Thanks to OP.
I have one of these, it just works. I had one of the Skydrops also (Which went under) they were a bunch of investors, not a huge company that has a lot of income from their other business. Also, the b-hyve is a much better unit overall. I could never understand the Skydrop watering in the rain, etc... I thought that was why it was supposed to be "smart". The B-Hyve has cut water usage (over the Skydrop) and my lawn is greener than ever (weird, eh?).
So, I'm one who got burned by Skydrop, but I have no problem goin to orbit.. Orbit is the "big boy" and not some gadget maker... one of the "big 3" (Orbit, RainBird, and Toro) in the industry.
