Need Setup help Please

[ae8u]

I had this working and then I crashed my system and I am trying to rebuild it. Now for the life of me I cannot figure out how I got it to work the last time. I do not have something set correctly in my yaml files, but not sure what. It is not seeing the B-hyve controller, which has a fixed IP address set by my router. How do I get HA to recognize the controller?

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, The integration polls the b-hyve servers and don't interact directly with your devices. Are you able to see your devices in the app or when visiting https://my.orbitbhyve.com/ ?

If you can't see them here, there are probably other connectivity issues with your network/devices.

If you can, then it's likely a configuration error in HA. You'll probably need all of these:

bhyve:
  username: !secret bhyve_username
  password: !secret bhyve_password

switch:
  - platform: bhyve

binary_sensor:
  - platform: bhyve

sensor:
  - platform: bhyve

If you don't add the integration platforms then the relevant entities won't be added to HA.

Hi Seb, All devices show on my smart phone app. But on the https://my.orbitbhyve.com site only one device shows. Just got off the phone with their tech support. Apparently they have a problem on their end.  Only the first paired device is showing right now and they are trying to fix it.So does that mean the HA  interface will not work until they get it fixed? Thanks, Mike

Hmm not sure if this would impact the HA integration.

If you wouldn't mind enabling logging (packet dump not required) and sending the devices object from your HASS log that would help me look into things on my end.

Seb,I think I have logging enabled.  However,  the debug file is empty.Mike

the HA log definitely shouldn't be empty - perhaps it's being logged to a different file?

@ae8u how did you go with this?

Seb,Thanks for following up.  I got it to work partially.  It was not seeing the faucet timers,  just the hub. I think it is due to a problem with z wave.  I had a SmartThings hub running while I was switching over to Home Assistant. That was causing issues with z wave. I have been fighting for several days now trying to get z wave running in Home Assistant with no luck. So the faucet timers will not connect to the Bhyve hub. Thanks Mike

@ae8u I think the faucet timers communicate with the hub using Bluetooth (not z-wave). Maybe you need to reset them?

Seb,

Thank you so much for all your help. I had already tried resetting them to no avail. I ended up needing to remove everything from my.orbitbhyve.com and then adding it back. Now all is working.

Thanks again for great software!!!
