Description of πŸ’¦ Orbit 71003 B-hyve Flood Water Sensor: Reliable Gray Device for Optimal Protection

IMMEDIATE FLOOD DETECTION: The B-hyve Flood Sensor can detect water at only a few drops, and the audible alarm, together with the B-hvye app (Android or iOS) notification, will immediately inform you of a leak, so you can get it fixed before it becomes a problem. POCKET SIZED: The 1.6” x 0.6” hexagon design is small and discreet, so you can put it in even the smallest of spaces. Place it under heavy objects and easily gain access to it with the attached retrieval cord. TEMPERATURE MONITORING: Prevent pipes from freezing, food from thawing and more. The B-hyve Flood Sensor will monitor the surrounding temperature and alert you if the temperature goes outside your configured range. BATTERY OPERATED: Comes equipped with a replaceable CR 2032 coin cell battery that will last you 1 year while monitoring for leaks. Low battery notifications will be sent to your phone on the B-hyve app to let you know when it is time to change the battery. SMART TECHNOLOGY: Includes a B-hyve Gen 2 Wi-Fi hub (#21008) that connects to your Flood Sensor devices via long range Bluetooth 5.0. This allows for real-time cloud communication for updating settings, temperature readings, disconnection warnings, and more. Power source type: Battery Powered.

Works well but limited range

I tested a sensor with water and it worked fine. The biggest problem is the limited range of Bluetooth. I had to move the sensors to less than optimal flood detection locations to get direct access to the Bluetooth hub. If the signal is blocked by walls, it may not be reliable. However, I use sensors, they work, and I rely on them to let me know if there's a flood.

Pros
  • Safety
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Bluetooth gets blocked easily

I wanted to check the underground garage and garage for flooding but Bluetooth won't go through cinder block and drywall. I can move the device closer, but then the other side of my house won't work. Everything else was pretty easy. I was hoping that your module would also work wirelessly with the automatic watering system I bought, but I don't have the same stuff between the modules.

Pros
  • Water Detector and Alarm
Cons
  • Band

Don't work, don't waste money.

I finally got the chance to set it up and no matter how close I put the sensors to the hub and phone the B-Hyve app keeps saying the signal is too weak (and the sensors aren't connected to the hub). I ordered the kit in February and tried to set it up in May. If the batteries don't last as long even when not in use, I'm not sure I'll try new batteries. The support site associated with Revain is blank for me. Couldn't find any troubleshooting guides or FAQs. The My Orbit B-Hyve Sprinkler…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Very expensive
