Orbit B-hyve XD 2-Port Smart Hose Watering Timer — Dual-Outlet Bluetooth, WeatherSense Water-Saving Control

The Orbit B-hyve XD 2-Port Smart Hose Watering Timer is a battery-powered, weatherproof dual-outlet controller that automates two separate watering zones from your smartphone using Bluetooth (and optional Wi‑Fi with a hub).

Set up to replace manual watering, the B-hyve XD combines two independent hose outlets with weather-aware scheduling so you can run distinct routines for lawn, flower beds, vegetable plots, or container gardens. The unit pairs with the Orbit B-hyve app to program start times, durations, and seasonal adjustments, while built-in WeatherSense intelligence trims runtime based on local rainfall, temperature, and drought conditions.

How does the two-port design simplify yard watering?

The dual outlets let you operate two separate irrigation lines from a single controller, removing the need for multiple timers or constant manual switching. Each port runs its own schedule and duration, so different plantings receive tailored watering without extra hardware.

• Independent schedules for each outlet to water different zones at different times
• Reduce setup clutter with one compact unit replacing two single timers
• Run valves, drip lines, or sprinklers on separate cycles for efficient coverage

What connectivity options does the B-hyve XD offer?

Primary setup and control happen via Bluetooth for direct smartphone access at the hose spigot, and you can add optional Wi‑Fi control when the timer is tied to a compatible Orbit hub. The app delivers remote scheduling, manual starts, and real-time status while keeping configuration fast and straightforward.

• Bluetooth pairing for on-site app control without extra wiring
• Optional Wi‑Fi via a hub for remote access and cloud features
• Mobile app lets you start, stop, and edit schedules from a phone

How does the weather-based watering work to save water?

WeatherSense uses local weather inputs to adapt watering duration and frequency so the system waters less after rain and during cool periods. By adjusting runtimes according to temperature and drought signals, the timer aims to reduce overwatering while still supporting healthy plants.

• Automatically shortens or skips cycles after rainfall or cooler days
• Accounts for drought conditions to limit unnecessary watering
• Saves water without forcing manual schedule changes

Is the B-hyve XD durable and easy to install outdoors?

Built for exterior use, the controller features a weather-resistant housing and runs on batteries for a cordless setup. It mounts at the spigot and connects to standard garden hoses or irrigation lines, so installation is typically a quick DIY task with no plumbing changes required.

• Weatherproof construction protects electronics from outdoor exposure
• Battery powered—no mains wiring needed
• Standard hose-thread compatibility for fast installation at the faucet
