Pixie shows "communicating" and timer counting down but valve not open?

Dear customer,

Currently Netro syncs every 1 hour. In the default mode, Pixie will go to sleep mode to save power after 5 minutes when it is manually powered on. Every hour it will wake up to check the latest watering schedules and report the power percentage. Therefore, when you start a manual run, the timer is most likely in sleep mode and it shows pending.

If you have to water instantly, you can go to Settings -> Timer-> "Keep Online" and enable the feature. Note the timer may start to keep online the next day and battery consumption will be faster when the timer is in this mode. Please refer to this article for more info: https://netrohome.com/en/shop/user_guides/2

Manual schedule with Rain Forecast

Dear Dhar,


iIf you turn on the smart zone mode, Netro will skip smart watering and programs when there is large amount of rain(>0.2inch/ 5.08 mm) or watering regulations and manual restrictions.

 If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic(Settings->Zones->Smart Zone), which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule.

Dear customer,


Netro sever side get/ Update weather information every early morning at 4 am. Previously Netro may not have updated the weather info. If you have the weather station ID, you can try if weather underground PWS works better.

Hi Fabrice,


The sensor is completely out of battery due to long transportation and need to be charged under direct sunlight. 

Please place the sensor under direct sunlight to charge for about 3-5 days. If the weather not good, it may take longer time.


Thanks,

I can’t figure out why two of my zones are showing as smart zones

Updated at 2022-04-27 02:37:08 UTC

Dear Brian,


We found you have enabled smart zone feature for your zone 1 and zone 4. In this level, your zone 1 and zone 4 will be watered automatically by Netro with smart schedules. 


If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule but still need the rain delay feature , you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic, which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule. ( Settings->Zones->Smart Zone)

Hi John,


Today's weather forecast is 7℃ to 17℃ and the lowest temperature is 7℃ so Netro skipped your schedules when the lowest temperature is below 7℃.
