Was at Walmart and found a new bluetooth/wifi water timer by orbit: https://bhyve.orbitonline.com/hosefaucet/ Per the site, there is a wifi hub so we should be able to integrate into ST… It already has an Alexa skill.

@JDRoberts I do understand that having wifi does not guarantee connectivity to ST, but saw that they have an API. We should be able to utilize the API for this connectivity.

Where did you get a skydrop controller for $50

Where did you see their API? I am willing to tackle some of this if there is a published api

Looks like they haven’t released an API yet…

[image] DavidFinkelstein: Where did you get a skydrop controller for $50 It shows up on my Amex bill as a paypal purchase, for $59.98, in November 2017. The merchant is not listed.

So I haven’t seen any updates but found this information on the BHyve website forum: [image] KurtSanders/STOrbitBhyveController Provides integration with a Orbit™ Bhyve Timer and SmartThings - KurtSanders/STOrbitBhyveController

The B•Hyve has more than one zone and it has smart watering it will not water if you have a higher percentage of rain than you have it set for. It will water X number of gallons based on the flow test you do when you set it up. You can set it up to at least 4 zones and 4 program slots inside each zo…

Have you installed the ST DH? Does it work? Thinking about getting these myself.
