    I’m totally frustrated with the so called “smart” watering. It seemed like it worked in the past. Not sure if the updated the firmware in the unit or what. No troubleshooting guides, the manual is a joke, no one answers the phone etc. I’ve notice that the saturation will be like 60% one day, no rain and the next morning it will show 100%. The “smart” controller will say the watering is schedule for the next day, no rain, and then when the next day comes it will say watering is scheduled for the next. Horrible.

    Yes, it’s the smart water that seems to be not working. I bought a “smart’ irrigation system so i could utilized the “smart” function. Thanks for your input. At this point I would not recommend Orbit B-Hyve because it is to unpredictable. Documentation is poor as well as support. Twice I have called and told I would be called back, never to have a call back.

    If they could explain how without rain or irrigation how the soil Moisture will go from less than 50% to 100% overnight, it might explain something.

    Kevin, how did you determine the rain delay was the issue?
