Total water volume restriction

Kyle Giacomini
Updated at 2025-10-08 13:12:52 UTC 
I'm curious if there is a way to restrict or cap the calculated volume of water used daily for smart watering schedules. For example, my well produces about 3500 gallons a day or close to 4.5 CCF. I have a storage tank where the water is stored. Is there any logic that can be added to the smart watering calculation or scheduling to account for a daily water volume budget?

Is it a good idea to unplug it for the season or no?

Updated at 2025-10-08 13:48:10 UTC 

I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Netro Spark 16 controller. It connects correctly to Wi-Fi and appears online in the app, but when I try to start irrigation manually, the app just stays on "in communication" and nothing happens.


The problemm is with the 4g Vodafone/HoMobile provider as yout mentioned in https://netrohome.com/en/forum/posts/4052


I have already asked several time the update for the device, but nobody reply me

i wrote also to Netro support email: support@netrohome.com  --> nobody reply me.


What should i do to have this update?


Please

IFTTT Trigger for moisture

When I try to set the trigger for a moisture level in IFTTT, it does not give me the option to choose at what moisture % I want the trigger to run.  How do I set the trigger for a specific %?


It only gives me the option for account, device, and zone.

does not irrigate

Giovanni Asoni
Updated at 2025-04-28 15:58:30 UTC 
The same thing happens to me too. No irrigation today... 04/27/2025 Netro does not connect... it says it is watering in manual mode, then I go to check and nothing happens! No water comes out of any station, I tried to reset but to no avail. If I try the tester the irrigation starts but if I try with the manual it says it is watering but that is not true. I checked the Wi-Fi and it is fine.

Irrigation system service

How do you allow your irrigation or landscape service people to run the system without having a phone or Internet connection? Is there a simple way for them to override the sprite, and use some other way to manually open the valves without going underground to expose them?

Request for Advice on Improving Water Pressure for Netro Pixie Irrigation Timer

Andrea DS
Updated at 2025-04-22 12:33:21 UTC 

Hello,

I would like to ask for advice on how to improve the water pressure for my Netro Pixie irrigation timer.

Here are the details of my setup:

  • The water is stored in a cistern with a capacity of one cubic meter (1 meter x 1 meter x 1 meter), equivalent to 1,000 liters.
  • The Netro Pixie smart timer is installed three meters below the tap of the cistern.
  • When the timer opens, only a small amount of water flows out.

How can I improve the water output and quantity? Are there any adjustments or solutions you would recommend?

Thank you very much for your help!

Greenhouse

Perry en Louise Mevissen
Updated at 2025-03-22 08:43:22 UTC 
Topic: General

One of our sectors runs inside a greenhouse now. Apart from soil type and sprinkler head type, does anyone have advice how to optimise sector settings for this situation? I feel the influence of sun and normal outdoor temperature is different, and rain is completely absent in this sector. 


May I suggest to add some sector setting that it is inside a greenhouse?


Thanks

Dutch language improvement

Perry en Louise Mevissen
Updated at 2025-03-22 08:54:24 UTC 

Some translations in the app for the Dutch language are a bit off. The wrong translation from English to Dutch is used.


For instance to save a setting in Dutch the word “sparen” is used. “sparen” in Dutch is used for instance to save money. The proper Dutch word to save a setting is “opslaan”


Another one is how “disabled” is translated. It currently says “gehandicapt” which is the Dutch word for disabled people. When a setting is disabled the proper Dutch word is “uitgeschakeld”, literally meaning off-switched


Kind regards,

Perry

Netro Whisperer gen2 4 zones

Luca Gennuso
Updated at 2025-03-25 22:22:40 UTC 
Hello, please take in consideration to extend the possibility to link the whisperer up to 4 zones at least. I have 4 zones enabled on my netro sprite and the smart zones enabled and linked with the whisperer only on 3 of them. How can I setup all the 4 zones to follow the same smart program? Now the 4th zone (not linked with the whisperer) can follow only a manual program or a smart zone which is different from the other 3. I would like to water the garden with all the zone at the same time.
Thank you

New Whispere

Have a whisperer working fine.

As the battery of my second one could not be charged (even by cable) bought a new one.

The new whisperer is blinking white, the phone, the router and the new whisperer are within 3ft of each other.

Nothing happens on the appli, see only the existing whisperer not the new one.

What should I do ?

Watering notifications in Android app

Kai Nicholson
Updated at 2025-05-04 14:12:08 UTC 

I have the Netro Whisperer2, and all works fine except for smart watering notifications.

They alert within the Netro app - how can I get them to alert outside of the app (i.e. "normal" smartphone alerts)?


It's great that I get the notification in the app, but that means that I have to constantly manually open the app to check for notifications - which essentially makes the notifications almost useless.


I've uninstalled and re-installed; I've disable the system setting to give the app access to send system notifications and then re-enabled it; and anything else I could think of that could be stopping the app being able to send a system notification.

Am I doing something wrong here, or does this intentionally only keep the notification internal to the app?
