B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer

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.

Great product. Warning, though: In Australia the taps have a different screw-in groove standard. You’ll need an adapter.

Used this for drip irrigation as a stand alone add on to a larger irrigation system. Set up and programming was straightforward and they system has worked without any issues the whole summer. The B-hyve app is a great tool.

The reviews seemed to be good, the app was well rated, so I gave several of them a try and absolutely regret it. I've bought 6 in total now, although some in other variations (single, double, no screen). All will be returned. Here's what I've learned. 1. The hardware inside is terrible. The ones that work really squeal trying to close with water pressure. 3 of the ones I've tried didn't close at all until I shut the water off at the tap. 2. The screen devices are only compatible with the Hub 2 version. The hub 1 will be completely ignored during setup, but there's no indication of an issue, so it just leads to frustration and a google search. Not to mention the fact that the old and new don't work well together. 3. The app is ok. For features it's great, BUT I received what I think was a used timer and when setting it up, the app had a bunch of personal information pre-loaded for someone else. Very strange, and a little scary. It was factory reset and ready for installation, so the fact that it still held someone's info is a privacy issue. 4. I can't speak to longevity because they're so bad I won't be keeping them long enough to find out when the working ones will break. Probably won't take long. I don't really get it. I thought since Orbit is a well established brand that these would be worth the premium, but they are truly junk to avoid.

Great product, just be aware that is American threads on the tap
