[RELEASE] Orbit Bhyve+

Well... I ran into this issue

I checked my user id and password and both are correct, tried a couple of times but no dice...

I just tried and it worked for me. http 401 usually is invalid credentials.

The login credentials you use should be the same ones you use in the mobile app (email + password). I noticed there's a web account page https://www.orbitonline.com/account/login that uses a different user/password

I have no issues with logging in. Note that the correct B-hyve web site is:
https://my.orbitbhyve.com/
This site uses the same login credentials as the app and Hubitat app.

Smallish thing, I'd suggest changing "Bhyve" to "B-hyve" for this Hubitat app.

I wasn't able to log into this one

But I had no problem logging into this one

And I just tried logging in with this app and I'm getting the same error. My user id and password are the same ones I use on my Android app as well as this one.

Sorry, what I meant was to check if he was using credentials for that site and not the app (or the web version you mentioned)

Hmm.. I don't know.. you could try installing the original Orbit Bhyve app using HPM to see if something changed but I didn't make many changes at all.

There might be a similar question/issue in that thread too

Testing the new app with our BHyve irrigation controller with 8 zones.

Quick question:

  • Our zone names weren't set in the Byve app before connecting the app, but have since been set. I can see the zone names come across in the info logging, but there doesn't seem to be a way to sync the Hubitat device labels once they are created. Would they have come over if they were set at the time of initial sync?

I believe so, yes.. at least that's what I remember. You could always delete the app too which would remove the devices and re-add it. I've done that several times and haven't had any issues

My non-expert guess is there is some sort of character encoding issue, maybe a special character in the password.

I uninstalled this one and tried the original one and the same problem persists.

There are several special characters in my password, but it is also 30 characters long. I'll test it further tomorrow by removing the special characters first while keeping it 30 long and if that doesn't work I cut back on the number of characters. Hopefully one or the other will help.

that's got to be fun to enter on your phone :slight_smile:

lol, password manager :grin:

Issue identified, Although the app and their website work well with special characters, the integration does not.

@jpage4500 thanks for picking this up. I’m still on the old version of the app and haven’t switched yet. I know it’s a long shot, but does your version have the ability to set the soil moisture level for a zone? I really want the manual controls to be on my Hubitat app, but have the smart schedule control appropriate automated watering for the lawn. The problem is the orbit app keeps “assuming” my soil moisture incorrectly so I end up having to set that manually via the orbit app. Would be spectacular if I could have the data from my moisture sensors sent over to the orbit zones so I don’t have to manually manage that.

I just noticed this in the logs -- it repeats over and over all day long. I checked because I couldn't turn my hose on with Google Assistant.

Let's hope it's just a temporary issue and not some change that was made on Orbit's end

Lost connection to Web Socket: failure: Expected HTTP 101 response but was '503 Service Unavailable', will reconnect

I'm getting:


It happens every so often too but now every refresh attempt (set at 5 minute refresh).

Running the latest HPM version.

I see where this could occur and will fix it.

Is the device working for you? I'm thinking this might just be a side-effect of the Orbit web service being down

the refresh() method is no longer failing with the NPE consistently. It worked, then failed, then worked, then failed, my guess is while Orbit was fixing whatever. But now its working.

I am getting this all day long...

Anyone else experiencing this or know how to remove this from spamming the logs?

Yes, I am getting it as well. Every 30 minutes.
