    When I select Water Manually on the app, it opens a screen to program zone 1 to 6. What happened to the screen to program zones manually? Turn them on and off by zone.

    LOL, I guess someone got the bright idea that it is fun to re-organize the layout now and then to keep us entertained. Kinda like Lowes re-organizing the store so we have to search for items in new and exciting places. Gives us exercise running around the store. This B-hyve reprogramming gives us a mental challenge figuring out where they hid features. To water manually, or just do a test you now need to select Zones, click on the zone you want to test and then at the top of the screen press the little almost hidden “Test” which takes you to a page to “Adjust Run Time”. Pretty lame programming. You would think that some manager should be fired for wasting money on this.

    By the way, if you do select “Test” and initiate a test by setting the time and then pressing the green check mark the handy graphic screen with the time countdown is no longer shown. Previously you could quickly turn off the zone from that screen, for instance if you notice a geyser in your yard. Now you go back to the previous screen and there is a little “Stop” text at the top of the screen with a timer next to it. Even though it just looks like text it is actually a button that you press to stop the test. I am guessing this code is being outsourced, and these are some extra low cost programmers. Hey Orbit, are you actually watching what these people are doing?

    I also found this problem with the Manual mode this morning. I have just wasted 3 hours trying to sort it out.
    Finally found the answer here, many thanks Joe. The “Water Manually” button is still on the home screen, dose not make sense.
    Hopefully someone at Orbit will fix this soon.

    Thanks again Joe

    Thanks for the response. I’m just going to login to my.orbitbhyve.com and use the manual remote feature until I find another controller with manual water feature.

    I have the problem on my android phone, BUT, I just checked my Samsung tablet (also android) and it has not changed, I am still able to operate the zones manually,…..weird!!

    I have placed a link on my phone to the website, so I can operate the zones manually from there, or via the way that Joe mentioned in the app.

    Cheers
