  • Quality: Custom[1]
  • IoT class: Cloud Push[1]
Model namedLimited: Unofficial, with no guarantee of continued compatibility. Cloud push through the B-hyve cloud; the Wi-Fi hub is required for hose timers and the flood sensor[1]
Home AssistantCommunity[6]ljmerza/orbit-bhyve-bleProprietary + hub
  • Quality: Custom[6]
  • IoT class: Local Polling[6]
Product line namedLimited: B-hyve firmware updates can break the integration; support is by hardware code (HT25G2, HT31, HT32A, HT34A) rather than retail model number; setup contacts the Orbit cloud once[6]
