So I like the idea of being able to manually water when I want especially on really hot days but the battery aftervthe second day dies and never charges more then 10 to 15 percent even in full sun for 10 hours. Would be nice if it charged faster and had a better battery or less drain in that mode.

What can I do?

Thanks

I would like to know how to get a serious bug in the smart watering algorithm resolved.

I live in north Dallas.  All of our soil is clay.  Most yards (like mine) have Bermuda grass, which is extremely drought tolerant.  This grass grows roots several feet deep and can survive with zero watering for 3 weeks after a downpour that saturates the clay.  (I can show you green grass in a yard that is hard as a rock)  During mid July to mid September the average low is 80 and the high is over 100.  Bermuda grass will go dormant(not dead) if not watered during summer.  You can easily keep the yard looking decent with only 10 minutes of watering per week.

I bought my house in 2020 and it came with a Netro.  After a summer of use, my wife and I failed to look at the auto-pay CC card water bills.  We had accidently spent thousands of dollars on yard watering during the summer. (I can show the water bills)!  (FYI, I had each zone set to the max ECO level)  Instead of buying a new timer, I changed smart-zone to basic instead of advanced and setup very detailed schedules.  

My timer got hit by lightning back in May.  I bought a new one and set it up.  I failed to notice that the default value for new zones is "smart zone enabled with advanced setting".  Even though I had set up manual programs the timer found 'loop holes'.  The advanced mode was watering some zones as much as 70 minutes in 1 WEEK!  (compared to previous 10 min a week).  My water bill went from $160 to $400 ( at least I caught it before it got to $800 again).  

This bug has literally cost me thousands of dollars with a feature that is supposed to be saving me money.  I am not asking for compensation, it was my mistake that that I failed to look at the schedule and CC auto-pay.  

But this bug is ridiculous.  

How do we get the following implemented:

1) Global setting for water conservation (impacts all zones) that limits the max per week and max per month that a zone can be watered 

2) Budgets inside manual programs that will set limits for max per week and max per month.

3) expand frequency for programs to be across 14 days instead of 7 days

4) notifications from app that informs owner of minutes watered per week and per month.

 

Thanks

Quando collego la valvola la zona resta alimentata a 24 v anche quando finisce il ciclo. Quindi non smette di irrigare anche con la spia di colore verde.

Senza la valvola invece la tensione torna 0 volt.

Cosa può essere il problema

I cannot get the system to set up our county water restriction schedule. It is Wed and Saturday up to 10am in morning and after 6 pm at night. I would really like to run each zone once in the morning and once at night!  Any suggestions before I get fined $200.00?

My sensor shows the moisture way above where I have my watering adjustment set to not water, but it is still watering. What am I doing wrong?

I have six sensors but use only 3 which are 1, 3 and 4; however, I am having problems with sensors 4.

Hello there!

I'm really hoping you can help me. I bought two Whisperer 2s.

I have 6 zones and all but zone 1 run.  I start running manually and app says watering but nothing.  I checked the wires, none loose.  It will run randomly but I’m getting really frustrated.  

Am I able to create a schedule for new seed that allows me to add 2 watering times (1 in the AM and 1 in the PM)? Right now I had the create 2 separate schedules. 

Help! How do I set up my controller to a connect to my new router?

Loyal customer

I have a Sprite which has 5 working zones which are all connected to smart watering, 4 to sections of the lawn and 1 for the garden.  The lawn zones all water automatically but the garden zone only waters manually.  All zones have been set to water automatically via smart watering.

What could be the possible cause of this please.

How do I get a manual run without having a delay. Manual should be manual in my opinion. No added delays from his knows where. Please can anyone help?

My controller has been out almost a month. I have factory reset, short reset uninstalled app, and unplugged it. No matter what I do, i cannot get past the connect to netro wifi step. I need to blow out my sprinklers and I cannot get my device to work to manually run them. It will say its connected and do the spinning wait thing, then suddenly tell me to connect to the netro internet again. When I go to do it again it says no internet connection. Please help me. I sent an email from my email as the registered user (husband) is deployed in the middle east. Please look for an email from "kimbo__@" 

Thanks!

Hi,

I can't set ITREVI107 station ID ,of weather underground,as my weather provider,  for sprite 6

Thank you

Hello

My system has 5 solenoids.  All worked fine until recently.  One will turn on and off manually.  

However in smart timer it turns in but not off.  

How can I confirm if a app set up issue or a hardware issue with solenoid itself.

Hello,

I had to change my google password and now I lost all my datas from my last installation in my Netro system.

What can I do to find it again. Must I install everything new?

Who can help me?

Thank's

How does the Spark test the valves?

I want to connect a 24V input sensor on the spark outlet channels to switch 2 knx connect valves in different location. Cabling to those valves is to long for 24V. 
The valve testing always says that there is not current and switch it off --> Do i need a resistor on the outlet to simulate a valve? If yes, which value should the resistor have?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

I have 4 zones and a master valve. When I run any of the zones, they won't shut off when the timer runs out. If I switch the AC power off, then the valve will shut. I have checked the valve and it has no issue with opening and closing except when the sprite is running it. I tested cables for continuity, and I have tried swapping cables with no change. My ac power pack is AC 24v.

This issue affects each of the valves but only when controlled via the sprite. The valves are fully operational otherwise.

Hoping for a fix, otherwise will return to Amazon under warranty and get another brand.

Hi,

I have a Netro Pixie  and I was wondering if it's safe to leave it outside in the garden during the winter. The temperatures here in North of Italy can drop as low as -5°C (23°F).

Is it okay for the unit to handle these conditions, or would it be better to move it indoors to avoid any potential damage? In any case is not expected to perform any watering activity until Spring time.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
