Found this https://bhyve.orbitonline.com/hosefaucet/ Wondering if i attach this to my faucet (on my pool pump), can i use this and control the water coming out of my pool? assuming the pool pump is on, there is a red nozzle to let water come out of that i use use to drain the pool

It appears you would need their B-Hive hub.

If you already have Alexa or Google Home, you could then use HA to control through one of them?

B-Hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer with Wi-Fi Hub, im just trying to confirm it’s able to turn on/off the faucet

OK. I just found this at about the 4th posting. It looks like there may be an API ?

Just searching, opensprinkler may be an option.

is there a smart water feature that im missing?

I assumed the smart part would be in the Home Assistant configuration.

yes, but my use would be the opposite everyone else is using it for :wink:

Anyone have any luck getting this to work? I was thinking of getting the Orbit Timer and Hub.

There is a integration that is available. Have a look at GitHub - sebr/bhyve-home-assistant: Orbit BHyve custom component for Home Assistant
Once installed I can to do basic on/off for 2 taps connected to a single hub. Apart from installing I have really done nothing else in regards to automations etc…
