Replacing Orbit B-Hyve control board with OpenSprinkler Pi

[galmiklos]

I just wanted to share a possible implementation of OpenSprinkler Pi.

I have an old Orbit 12 zone B-Hyve sprinkler controller, but its WiFi module broke. All I had to do was to create a cable to connect the Pi Zero to the header on the power board of the Orbit. This way, the whole Orbit control module is substituted by the OpenSprinkler Pi.

Please, see the wiring diagram attached as an Excel spreadsheet.

I also attached my configuration, as well as a picture of how the Pi connects to the Orbit power board.

Enjoy.

The system did not allow me to attach the config, I just pasted it below.

Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!
