BLUETOOTH HOSE FAUCET TIMER
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.
