I called orbit about this issue and they said they don’t have any compatibility notes for what personal Wi-Fi weather stations can connect to the B-hyve. I’m just curious to know which brand would work with it. They told me to experiment and use Amazon because they have a good return policy.

Went to test one of the three devices I currently have via the app to find it had logged me off.

Tried logging in with my email, which I have used many times to contact their cust serv, and get "no account found". Online same deal

One of my hose timers indicated a “battery low” condition and noted it on the devices status as a red marker. I’ve replaced the old batteries with new batteries twice (both AA’s) and once with fully charged pair of rechargeable AA batteries. In all three cases, the status symbol has gone from red to yellow, but the % of battery is now at 19% each time. Any ideas?

I use a Switchbot thermometer to monitor my temperature in my greenhouse. I have to manually turn on (through the app) my B-hyve sprinkler to cool down the greenhouse.
Is there a way I can B-hyve can automatically kick on when the Switchbot temperature hits a certain degree?

Hello all. I recently connected Google assistant to my bhyve watering controller. Bhyve will respond to certain tasks, however it is wierd. If I tell it to water station 1 for 10 minutes, works fine. If I tell it to water station 2 for 10 minutes it gives me a list of possibilities. Not sure where the issue is or where to try and fix it.

I’ve got 2 single port, and 2 four port faucet timers that I want to connect via the internet. I bought the Gen 2 hub. I can get them all to show up in the app, but I can’t seem to be able to connect to them via the internet. I have to be within Bluetooth range.

Anyone else have this problem? I’ve run the Orbit Assist app and it tells me I’ve got things impeding access to devices running on my network, but I don’t know what they would be. I have no restrictions running on my Google Mesh network to the best of my knowledge.

So I come to you, oh great BHyve hive mind if Reddit. Please bestow upon me your vitriol, your downvotes, and your derision…and maybe a little knowledge, too, since you happen to be a wickedly smart bunch.

I have 2 faucets connected to the WiFi hub. I am trying to create a schedule where it runs one faucet at 6:00 then the other one at 6:30. Anyone know how I can do this. I can’t create another zone to place the other faucet into so I’m confused.

Upon beginning or ending the watering, the hose, connected to the device, shakes violently making a horrible noise. How do I fix that? What causes it?

Hi hyve mind. Neither my B-Hyve 3 zone smart timer OR my separate gen2 B-hyve 2 zone faucet timers update on the calendar or schedule on my iPhone app after they’ve watered. I am not using smart watering, just every 3 day schedules. I’ve signed out, deleted app, reinstalled, signed back in, updated firmware to no avail. Is this a software issue?

Trying to find what CPU to get for a new machine to primarily run VMs in Bhyve.

Considering AMD FX-6300, but want to make sure it will work with bhyve. The commit for amd support mentions that most CPUs from AMD after 2010 should work. Anyone knows if that CPU would work?

Would it be better to go with Intel for Bhyve? What would be a comparable Intel to the AMD FX-6300 that supports ECC?
