Orbit B-hyve devices by how they connect.
The 11 devices include sprinkler controllers, hubs and valve controllers. Each one below lists its path (Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Wi-Fi or another) and what that path needs.
B-hyve is Orbit Irrigation's smart watering line. Orbit sells B-hyve sprinkler controllers with 4 to 16 zones, hose faucet timers, two Wi-Fi hubs and a flood sensor.[1]
The controllers connect over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to the B-hyve app. Orbit lists Alexa and Google Assistant for the XR, 12-station, 6-zone and 4-station controllers. The hose timers speak Bluetooth and need a Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub for remote control.[2][3]
