    When if not already when will we be able to integrate the hose timers to smart home devices? And not just ONE, all of them. This is ridiculous we can’t already do this!!!

    I use Hubitat Elevation which is my primary home automation for zwave and zigbee devices, but I am also using a 3rd party “plugin” that works with my bhyve account. I have a 4 faucet timer as well as 3 of the older single faucets. The old faucets are connected to the original wifi hub and the new one to the new hub. The app on hubitat can control them all. Then I write a rule to check rain fall and manually water (I don’t use orbit’s interface except to set things up—not using smart watering, etc.) I just have a schedule that is skipped if we get enough rain or cooler weather.

    And another alternative is to use Home Assistant. The second most active project on github. It already has integration with Orbit and loads of other devices

    Thank you guys.

    I’ll try to look into home assistant and see if it’s compatible for me. And if I can figure out how to install it lol. I refuse to buy another dang hub. I have enough lol
