What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
For the money it is the cheapest coolest gadget you'll have. It does far more than i would ever need. The unit is inside a sturdy case.
The price is very reasonable, the hookup is easy and i really like the app. Très facile à utiliser, à configurer. The app is great with lots of options.
Cons
The b hyve app that works with system is so bad. Login is buggy. Customer service are clueless and at some point they will just tell you there is nothing else they can do.
If you change a few of the settings it resets the soil moisture to 0, and then you end up double watering. The timer has a wifi connection issue that has been going on for over 3 years. The app is also not very reliable.

The app makes going to the box a thing of the past to manually water zones

I think i’ve only had the door open once on the unit

Word of advise set up your zone profiles wait for a good rain and for your system to adapt to the weather forecasts which will then hopefully show your zones at 100 moisture after a decent rain fall then select smart water and never touch it again
