Why Is My Orbit B-hyve Timer Skipping Zones and Not Watering?

The B-hyve app shows the schedule completed but the affected zones show no watering activity. Zone skips are caused by smart watering calculations reducing run time to zero, a closed water supply valve, or zone wiring faults on multi-zone controllers.
