Verdyn waters like a pro
A daily plan built from agronomy, weather, and your local rules — on autopilot.
The intelligence layer your controller is missing
B-hyve runs the valves. Verdyn decides — every day — exactly how much to water each zone, and when to hold back.
Cycle-and-soak, automatically
Verdyn splits each run into soak passes matched to your soil's infiltration rate — so water reaches the roots instead of running down the driveway.
Seasonal ET scheduling
Runtimes scale with your local evapotranspiration month to month. More in July, less in February — no manual seasonal adjust dials.
Weather-aware skips
Rain yesterday, rain coming, or 20+ mph wind? Verdyn skips or trims the run before your controller wastes a drop.
Local watering rules, handled
Verdyn knows your city's restriction days and daytime bans from your ZIP — and honors the new-sod establishment exemption automatically.
Expert mode
Dial in head type, precip rate, sun, and slope per zone for catch-cup-grade precision. Or keep it simple — your call.
Runs on your B-hyve
No new hardware. Connect the controller you already own and Verdyn writes the smart schedule straight to it.
Why not just the app it came with?
A timer follows a clock. The B-hyve app follows your settings. Verdyn follows agronomy — soil, season, weather, and the rules where you live.

Born on a real golf green.
Verdyn's engine didn't start in a slide deck. It's the same agronomy-driven scheduler that waters a private Bermuda putting green every morning — cycle-and-soak tuned to soil infiltration, runtimes that track local evapotranspiration, and hard safety rules that refuse to water in the heat of the day or into a coming storm.
We took the system that keeps a green tournament-tight and made it work for any lawn — no superintendent required.
Three ways to run it. One is open right now.
The entire engine is open source and free to self-host today. Hosted and managed accounts are coming soon, once the payment portal is live.
