Make sure your try the code in the beta branch which I am working on to interface the 6/12 Orbit Timers.
Please note that this SmartApp can only report on the open/close state of the watering controller timer. Unfortunately, Orbit does not have a SmartThings compatible http Post method for activating and changing settings in their timers.
A future version of this SmartThings app will require a raspberry Pi server running NodeJs, as a proxy, will need to be added to communicate between SmartThings and Orbitās Websocket API. SmartThings does not support direct access to websocket APIās.
One 24VDC / 110 VAC Relay to control any low voltage device via Z-wave. Controls garage doors, motorized shades, gates, solenoid valves, etc. Relay can be set as momentary or Latched.
One SIGNAL Input terminal block to receive low voltage (digital, analog, or pulse) signals via Z-wave. Use with reed sensors, contact sensors, door bell buttons, Security panel relayās, water leak probes, water level sensors, temperature probes, float switches, etc.
Does the Orbit Bhyve Controller 21004, and your DH, once installed in the IDE, work on the New Smartthings Platform, to the point I can create an ON / OFF Schedule ?
I fear that someday Samsung will remove the OLD Smartthings App from use.
I have everything working on the NEW Platform now, except for my existing hose timers.
I only have to use the OLD App to control/schedule my existing Orbit 27087 Hose Timers.
Maybe someday someone will develop a compatible Hose Timer.
When that day comes, I will have to re-evaluate the Home Control market space and make a decision how to migrate these apps to that space. Right now, Iām leaning toward local Z-Wave solution as to get better performance than the cloud based options. Iām also watching the direct control WiFi devices which are picking up steam to eliminate the middleware layer.
Would anyone know whether the below UK B-Hyve model is compatible with this handler? It looks identical to the one in the initial post above but it has a different model number, namely 94990?
If the UK device connects to this same USA API, it will be compatible.
If the UK device connects to another server for API command, like https://api.orbitbhyve.co.uk/v1/ for example which does not exist, it will not until I research further. I would need to know that API address it connects to and check to see if the same API commands are identical. I would then update the APP to select either USA or UK.
Many thanks Kurt, Iāve not bought it yet so just trying to way up pros and cons Vs Linktap (weāre pretty limited for choice here in the UK). Iāll send a message to them asking about the API and see what they say
Thanks so very much for this, good sir! Though it is the off season here on the east coast, Iām so excited to have b-hyve integrated into SmartThings and to ActionTiles for when we plant next yearās vegetable garden and flowerbeds. Cheers and keep up the great work! Looking forward to future updates!
When I put my Orbit credentials in the Smartapp. It moves it to my apps under Automations. Then it removes it like itās not setup. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
