Orbit Gen 2 Smart Hose Watering

I first will say I own their B-Hyve 6 zone timer and love it. It waters my yard and I have no problems (other than when they broke it with software updates but have since been resolved). After thoroughly enjoying the multi zone timer, I was looking to water other parts of my house (plants in pots, separate planter beds, etc.) by utilizing my hose spigots around my house. When I found these timers I was super happy. That's the last bit of happiness I had is when I purchased them. When I say nothing but problems, I literally mean it. Not one has just worked without an enormous amount of work on my part. I'm an IT/Smart Home Installer, this is my job playing with smart devices. I can tell you head others people's warnings in the 1 star reviews, these are horrible. Yeah, you'll get it setup eventually, it's not going to last. You'll notice plants are starting to get dry, you'll check the battery level, hmm 40% and you just put fresh batteries in that's odd. They will lose connection with the hub constantly, you'll have to reset device connection in the app. Did that fix it great, wait, hold on it's only showing a bluetooth connection now. I hope you get the idea, when they stay connected, which is rare, it'll work. You'll manually start them and the app which is total hot garbage because their programmers keep adding cool features like shop because who doesn't want to shop for more devices while they're watering their grass am I right? Back to the point, you'll manually start watering and it will tell you it timed out after 30 secs but wait, it's watering currently. You'll have to force close the app and go back in, go to the device, "start" a manual watering cycle and hey, it's now showing you how much you have left on the watering cycle even though it told you it failed to connect. I've done this too many times to count, reset, set it up again, yeah it works, and then it doesn't. I have 3 hubs on my property to try to alleviate the issues, one literally 1.5' inside a window from where I had 3 of these timers. All 3 wouldn't work, not a one. I swapped hubs, updated networks, etc, nothing stayed working longer than a day or two, sometimes moments after you set it up did it just not work. So I gave up and tried another brand Rain Point. I'm impressed, not only did they set up immediately but guess what? 3 weeks and counting and I can use each and every one of them without issue. Installed exactly where the 3 of these timers were installed and their hub is sitting exactly in the same outlet and still working. It's been a massive waste of money with these and I'm sorry I ever found them because their integration into the B-Hyve App is horrendous vs. the multi-zone systems. I manage 4 households that utilize the multi-zone systems and zero problems. I don't update the app anymore as their programmers are horrible. I've emailed them and they're useless, I even offered to beta test the software for them as it kept getting worse by the update. Stay away from these and go with another brand. Read the reviews, don't pick the glowing ones because I can tell you from real world experience, someone is lying and it isn't those of us that have the same issues repeatedly. Go look at the b-hyve app reviews and you'll see these issues also brought up.
