FInicky but useful.
Despite following the instructions, this device took a couple of tries to initially connect the hub to my wifi router. Following a full house power failure, the hub times out while it waits to connect to my wifi router, which takes longer to recover. When this race condition happens, the B-hyve hub has to be unplugged and restarted in order to recover. The Bluetooth end with the hose connections and local interface works fine, as does the iPhone remote interface. IMHO, it's a little expensive per hose port for a plastic hose-end controller, but the functionality is there.

The software will make you regret it, then it will also break
I managed to connect the hub very quickly, but the timer won't connect because it's too far away (see pic, they are almost touching). After that I took a break, then discovered neither is registered in the app. They disappeared. Now they won't even go through pairing, or respond to reset commands (5 clicks on Hyve button). Customer support is busy, they will "call you back in 30 to 60 minutes". Either they didn't or they meant they'll just yell really loudly instead of using the phone.If you bought this ignore the instructions or came with and do this instead:1. Try to pair just the hub, instead of saying you have a hub and a time.2. Pair the timer.If the timer doesn't pair ignite the rest instructions on the Orbit website and look for a reset option through the timer's menu.To reset the hub click the button 5 times.Update: one of the zone valves broke after 4 cycles of usage. Something was loose inside and I needed to contact warranty. Between horrible software and manufacturing quality I don't recommend this product.

Great product
This is my second one. It is a little bit complex to set it up to work as a smart timer. Follow instructions step by step! I like the fact that I can set up two sprinklers to go off at separate times.

Great if you can get it going
Here's the deal. They have not updated the software to include this model. Orbit 24637 B-hyve XD 2-Port Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub. You have to link each device SEPERATELY. 1st do the port plug in part, then when that is complete and shows up under devices do the XD. If you mess it up, their customer support is horrible and you cannot get a hold of a human. Good luck.

Works better than expected
I needed something g for my backyard until we got the landscaping started. This device works great and the smart connection was easy to set up. The device seals great. Very user friendly and is of good quality. Highly recommend

Game changer for flower bed
This device makes me look like I know what I am doing with my flower garden. I get to kick back and enjoy the beauty while not worrying that my flowers are not getting watered enough. Highly recommend!

Only offers limited flow rate
While the concept is good, the timer dramatically restricts the flow rate, which resulted in my sprinklers not having enough pressure to function. When I went back to a non-smart timer they worked just fine. Seems like it could work well, just not if you need a minimum gpm for your setup.

Good Timer
This is a good timer. You have a lot of control options.

Für Deutschland ungeeignet?
Hallo, ich habe mir den B-Hyve XD über Amazon.de bestellt. Der Netzstecker passt nicht für die übliche Steckdose und zudem kann ich nirgendwo erkennen, welcher Anschlusstyp (Gewinde) der Wasserausgang ist. Keiner der Schlauchadapter, die ich zu Hause habe passt.Ich kann auch keine EMail-Adresse finden um den Verkäufer zu kontaktieren. Darum versuche ich es auf diesen Weg. Ich bitte darum, dass sich ein Mitarbeiter der Firma Orbit bei mir meldet. Ansonsten muss ich das Gerät zurück schicken. Weshalb dieses überhaupt in Deutschland ausgeliefert wird, ohne einen Hinweis, dass verschiedene Adapter benötigt werden, kann ich nicht verstehen und macht schon mal einen schlechten 1. Eindruck.
