    Now on my second unit after 2 weeks –

    Was working fine up until a day or so ago – ran the test function for my back garden and it went on for 5-6 seconds then turned itself off.

    Went to look at main unit and saw this (see attached file) – nothing would stop it – hitting reset button reset the screen then it would return.

    Powered off for 20-30 seconds and same issue would return. Powered off for 5-10min and it reset ok but the following day it returned….

    I swapped the unit over today for a new one and hope the issue does not return. Are you aware of this type of fault?

    Not to minimize your experience, but I think I’ve had mine for over 5 years: Other than utility power glitches that cause a need to resynch to wifi, no issues. Love that I can test the heads remotely.

    Agree windy – I love the app. Really well laid out. Just hope this new unit is a bit more robust than the last. I’m pretty savvy with tech but that unit just went crazy and nothing really fixed the core issue. Perhaps I got unlucky with a dropped or damaged box.

    One thing I started doing after premature failures with other brand: Put it on a surge protector (simple plug add-on style). Don’t know if that actually helps.

    I know I’m very disappointed with mine… The first summer was great, 2nd summer it started surging (water hammer) really bad when trying to shut off, I was told it was my water pressure, even though the guage said it was within range, and now I just set it up again for the 3rd summer and it’s leaking almost as much water as it’s sending to the sprinkler heads.. I guess that’s why they only offer a 2 year warranty… Again, very disappoints!

    I was preparing my B Hyve for its third year yesterday and my unit is doing the exact same thing. I can get the sprinkler system to start with the app but it won’t run a program.
