I recently had the opportunity to review the Orbit 57950 B hyve Smart 12 Zone Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Controller. I have used quite a few smart sprinkler controllers in the past, but this one is definitely a step up from the rest. In this review, I will cover my experience with the controller and provide my opinion on the features that set it apart from other products in its class.

First, let me start by saying that this controller is incredibly easy to install. It utilizes a swing panel for easy access to the angled wiring terminals, which makes wiring simple and convenient. In addition, it comes with a plug and go line cord that can be cut for hardwired applications if necessary. I found the installation process to be very straightforward and was able to have it up and running in no time.

The Orbit 57950 B hyve Smart 12 Zone Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Controller also comes with Weather Sense technology which provides watering based on site conditions such as slope, soil type, sun/shade, historical et and live weather feeds. This helps to ensure that you are delivering the right amount of water to your plants without wasting water or money on unnecessary irrigation. I found this feature to be extremely helpful as it allowed me to customize my watering schedule based on my specific needs.

In addition, this controller is EPA WaterSense approved and certified which means its certified to save water and money. This makes it eligible for local rebates which can save up to 100 of the cost on your timer. I was impressed by how much money I was able to save using this controller compared to traditional controllers thanks to its efficiency and water saving capabilities.

This product is also designed for durability and security with a weather resistant case that allows you to mount your timer indoors or outdoors without risk of weather damage as well as a locking cabinet that keeps your timer safe from harm. It also has Alexa integration so you can control your sprinkler system using voice commands which is an added bonus for those looking for an extra layer of convenience when controlling their sprinklers.
