Orbit 21005 Bluetooth Hose Faucet Timer User Manual

Welcome to

BLUETOOTH HOSE FAUCET TIMER

User’s
Guide

Congratulations on the purchase of your B-hyve Bluetooth Hose Faucet Timer! Faucet watering
has never been faster, easier or more convenient with the ability to control it from your phone.
You can schedule, manually operate and monitor flow without climbing through your shrubs to
access the timer. The timer works much like other Bluetooth devices: if you are within range of
the timer you can connect to it with the push of a button via the home screen in the app. Your
B-hyve Hose Faucet Timer uses a Bluetooth chip that has great range, up to 150 ft., to maximize the
distance from which you can connect. It also allows you to water down to seconds, which is great for
gardening, hydroponics, filling pet dishes or even bird baths

If Bluetooth doesn’t provide the flexibility you need, you can add the B-hyve Wi-Fi Hub to
connect to your hose faucet timer from anywhere in the world. With the addition of a hub you
can connect to the Internet and have your timer automatically update and adjust based on the
weather forecast.

Whatever your connected outdoor watering needs, B-hyve provides best-in-class smart products
to help you more effectively manage and control your watering. Thanks for your purchase, and
welcome to B-hyve.

Initial B-hyve App Setup

1) Download the B-hyve App

If you don’t already have the B-hyve App on your smart device,
search for “B-hyve” and download the free Android or iOS app.

2) Open the B-hyve App

Create an account or login with an existing account to begin timer setup.

In addition, there are help icons throughout the app with more information
and useful tips.

Initial B-hyve Timer Setup

1) Insert Two AA Batteries

Batteries are not included and you will need two alkaline AA batteries to
power your timer. Remove the battery tray and install the batteries according
to the drawings located in the tray. Firmly reinstall the battery tray back into
the timer.

Your timer is now in pairing mode and will flash a blue light every 5 seconds.
You will also hear two clicks about 6 seconds apart, this is normal and ensures
the valve is closed before you turn on the water.

If at any time you need to re-pair, press the on/off button
quickly 5 times.

Replace batteries when timer flashes a red light every 5 seconds,
or when the app notifies you that batteries need replacing.

If you remove or change the batteries, you will need to reconnect to
Bluetooth to set the correct time and date.

2) Install the Timer

Connect the timer to an outdoor hose faucet. Your timer is now ready to
be used with any product that can be attached to a standard hose faucet.

Do not place the timer in an underground valve box or anywhere
your Bluetooth signal will be obstructed.

3) Turn on Your Water

The water must remain on for the timer to work properly.

cycle in an area, or to use the hose faucet without removing the timer.

Using the B-hyve app you can set how long you want the preset manual cycle
to run for. Go to Settings>Devices>Device>Preset Runtime. Default runtime is
10 minutes.

Stop Watering

You can stop the flow of water at any time whether it is during manual
watering, or during a programmed time.

Press the on/off button once to stop watering.
