Nature is a wonderful gardener and is always

does a great job, sometimes a little help is
needed. That is where we come in. When
you connect your B-hyve™ timer to your
wifi, you are plugging in to nature. The local

landscape, will work together to deliver

eliminating water waste and saving you
money. Thanks for connecting and welcome
to B-hyve™!

programs that have been set-up. A, B, C or

Phone icon is the only program that should
be showing in the LCD.

Note: If you do not see the program letter

(A, B, C or the phone) in the LCD, that
program will not water. Press PROG ABC
until you see the program(s) that you wish
to water.

The RAIN DELAY button can be used to

turn off all watering for a duration of 1 to
32 days.

Press RAIN DELAY repeatedly, or turn the
