My Orbit Model # 96046 6 station watering system timer has lost power as if there may be a short circuit through water getting into the wires connecting to the solenoids or similar. Is there a fuse that can be replaced to fix this problem.
my b-hyve is tring to connect to blue tooth not wi fi
Your Orbit B-hyve initially connects to your phone via Bluetooth to assist with the Wi-Fi setup. If it is not switching to Wi-Fi, possible reasons include incorrect Wi-Fi credentials, interference, or the device not entering pairing mode properly. Try resetting the device by turning it off, pressing the reset button, and ensuring it enters pairing mode. If the issue persists, check your Wi-Fi settings and restart both your router and the B-hyve hub.

Did the app change? I needed to run one zone manually, an extra run for one zone.used to just open the app. Select manual pick the time and then it ran now you select manual and it makes you run a new program very inconvenient thanks
The context does not provide direct information on whether the process for running a zone manually in the Orbit B-hyve app has changed. However, it does mention that the app's interface has been updated and differs from older screenshots and videos, which suggests that some processes may have changed.
