B-hyve XR Smart Sprinkler Timer

B-hyve timers allow you to control your watering from anywhere in the world on your iOS or Android device or via the web app while saving water and lowering your water bill. Three full-color digital displays and a multi-color LED light ring allow you to see exactly what the timer is doing in an instant. Fully equipped with dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) Wi-Fi, a long range Bluetooth (BLE 5) radio, and an internal, plug-and-go transformer. The push-and-go wiring terminals and built-in bubble level make installation quick and easy.

The XR B-hyve Indoor/Outdoor Smart Irrigation Timer can be control manually and from the B-hyve app. The XR B-hyve Smart Sprinkler Timer was the first device with a graphical digital user interface display created at Orbit. The XR B-hyve Smart Sprinkler Timer is available in 8 or 16 zones and it is available at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon.

Challenge

The main challenge was to design in a very small interface. Another challenge was to create hierarchy with a single typeface and 3 font weights because the device has memory limitation.

Goal

The goal was to allow users to water all Zones, a Single Zone, and run manually a program from the Sprinkler Timer panel (manually). In addition, to inform the user about the current state of the B-hyve XR Smart Sprinkler Timer: Rain Delay, Wind Delay, Freeze Delay, Watering, etc.
