Which B-hyve hubs and flood sensors should I buy?

B-hyve has two Wi-Fi hubs, and they are not interchangeable.

The Gen 2 Hub (21027) works with the XD and Gen 2 hose timers and the Smart Flood Sensor. The Gen 1 Hub (21006) works only with the Gen 1 hose timers 21004 and 21005. Orbit says one hub controls multiple B-hyve devices within 150 ft. The XR Smart Indoor/Outdoor controller can act as the hub for Gen 2 devices.
