The smart irrigation B Hyve units have quickly become the market favorite with their incredible features and easy-to-navigate interface. If the initial installation is managed appropriately, you won’t have to worry about much with this system.
However, many owners struggle with the installation of the B Hyve controller, and you will often see complaints about the system not working perfectly after installation. Depending upon the installation errors, there is a comprehensive range of issues that you might have to cover with the B Hyve Controller, which we’ll cover in this troubleshooting guide.
B Hyve Controller Troubleshooting Tips
- Schedules Not Working
One of the most common issues that you might face with the B-Hyve controller is that the schedules will stop working. You won’t be able to get any performance from the timer, and the system won’t engage at the specified period. So, you need to isolate this issue with the schedules and then try using the controller again.
Most of the time, this issue with the schedules not working is related to programming issues. You will have to reset the controller configurations to get the schedules working. So, just remove the current schedules and then add them again. This should get your irrigation schedules in perfect order.
- Wi-Fi Stability Issues
While you won’t have trouble connecting the Wi-Fi with the controller for the first time, it will keep disconnecting again and again as you try to access the irrigation features. This will not only create an issue with the watering schedules, but you will have to keep resetting the timer to pair it with the Wi-Fi router again.
This issue is mainly related to the increased distance and interference between the router and the controller. So, you will have to isolate this issue by limiting the distance between the router and your controller. Moreover, removing extra wireless devices will also have a positive impact on Wi-Fi Stability.
- Display Not Working
The display-related issues with the B-Hyve controller can almost always be traced back to a faulty power connection. The power from the main source is sometimes not enough to match the voltage requirements of the controller. So, you need to check the power source for possible issues with the voltage. Making use of a multimeter will help you fix this issue and implement relevant troubleshooting methods to get the controller working again.
- Wiring Related Issues
Loose connections and corroded sections have always been a problem with the controller as owners struggle to maintain a consistent power flow through the system. So, if the system is not working even though the power from the source is optimal, you should focus more on securing the wiring connection. Usually, you won’t have to do anything more than tighten up the connection points and clean the rust from these sections to secure a consistent power flow through the system.
- B-Hyve Controller Not Pairing
Pairing issues with the B-hyve system are linked with the app-related bugs where you need to connect the system with the application again to get access to wireless features. However, this app can create some minor issues every now and then, and you need to check the app version or clear the app cache to get ahead of these pairing issues.
Updating the application and cleaning the stored cache from your mobile phone is usually enough to fix these pairing problems with the controller. So, make sure that you’re on the latest application version and that the stored data is cleared up before you try to pair the controller again.
- Programming Bugs
Lastly, you will come across programming bugs where the configurations won’t update in the controller. This can be quite annoying as you won’t be able to set up any schedules. These programming bugs might not be that common for most users, but a quick reset to the system fixes all of these issues. So, just reset the B-Hyve controller to factory settings and then try to set up the timer one more time. Hopefully, you won’t have to bother with the same issues. Make sure to also involve the experts from customer support in case of further problems.
