The average temperature for a day is insufficient to calculate correct watering.

When I have Whisperers, the system appears to calculate the average over the day about 4 degrees higher than for zones without Whisperers.

It seems that, even though the weather data is available throughout the day, that zones without sensors only use the forecast high and low.


This is insufficient to correctly adjust for the amount of watering required.


For example, today is 7 degrees C up to 36.

Whisperer zones average the temp at 26C while non-Whisperer zone calculate the average at 22C.


On these extremely hot days, the non-whisperer zones are under-watering much more than the Whisperer zones.


Also note that even the zones with Whisperers always under-water and needs custom programs or manual intervention.


This finally explains to me why zones are always under-watered.


Can the system please use multiple day readings for non-Whisperer zones and PLEASE provide more watering?

aut watering triggered when Wisperer is out of power

Hello,

I have 2 Whisperer for automatic regularion of my watering.

They work normally work perfekt but when the bad weather prevents charging for o longer period they go to sleep/closes down.

Then my Netro thinks the soil is dry 0% humidity and aut starts my watering eventhough the soil is 90%.

I have ti disable the Netro to stop watering until the Whispering is charged.

Since I do not get any warning that the Wispering power is too low the aut watering can go on and on wasting my water and flooding my garden!

Old whisperer

Jean Paul Lasserre
Updated at 2026-01-20 10:38:33 UTC 

My two whisperers stopped due to lack of sun. The new one started communicating again.

The old one started communicating but then stopped while the battery was still above 90%.

Seems a communication problem 

Blue light blinking turned quickly to white light blinking.

After blinking a few minutes it stopped but is not connected to the App.

Tried putting it ON close to controller and then close to WiFi router, the result is the same, no connection.

Is the whisperer dead ? Should I buy a new one ?

Thanks

Skip watering based on soil moisture (Pixie + Whisperer)

cpline
Updated at 2026-02-02 17:04:38 UTC 
Hello! I would like to set up my system to skip watering if soil moisture reads above a certain threshold. I have the Whisperer and the Pixie, so would like the Whisperer to communicate with the Pixie, so the Pixie skips watering if soil moisture is high enough. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

enable switch

Andrew McNaughtan
Updated at 2026-04-19 22:32:06 UTC 
I switched the enable switch in the Netro app to disable and now I can't get it to turn back on. The app says "next run not scheduled". When I close the app and reopen it, the switch has moved back to the disabled position. Nothing works, I can't even manually water. The controller has a green light showing and I have tried powering the controller off and back on and it reconnects without an issue but the app will not work.

Hi guys,

My Netro system is not skipping watering on rainy days. As shown below, it still watered even though it is configured to skip the previous day, the rainy day itself, and the day after. Any recommendations?

Can you have multiple locations or do you have to setup separate accounts?

If separate accounts, how do you do that?

Feature Request

John Sirois
Updated at 2026-02-10 05:56:14 UTC 

Is there a way to give info to the app to dial in the soil moisture level?   I would like to measure soil moisture and input the info to my controller and the controller should adjust watering schedule. How about reminding user to check moisture level once in a while and input the info. Is this a thing? 

Thanks!

John
