    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.

    I have the old, original single faucet and the newer 4…both running with the same batteries since May. On the new controller I keep getting emails that my batteries are low…but they are not, its some bug they won’t fix. Once in awhile I can unplug/replug the controller and things are good for another month. In the old unit I am using the same batteries I took out when I winterized last fall, so second season. I am using energizer lithium batteries. I even have the controllers working with my home automation so they get “polled” frequently for status updates even when not in use.
