The Pixie timer is designed for automatic watering. However, occasionally you may still need to turn on/off the water manually. Before explaining manual watering from the app, it would be helpful to understand how the Pixie communicates with the Netro cloud server.

By default, your Pixie turns on its WiFi module once every hour to sync up with the server. The sync-up usually takes less than one minute. For the next 59 minutes the timer will be sleeping and disconnected from the WiFi until the next sync. When the timer is sleeping, it is unaware of the schedule changes, including the manual watering.

Therefore, when you start a manual run, the timer is most likely in sleep mode. It will have to wait until the next sync-up to start the watering. The waiting time will be less than 60 minutes. Take the following screenshot for example:

The current time is 5:24AM and the next sync is scheduled at 6:17AM. Therefore the waiting time is going to be 53 minutes. After you press the Start button, you can go to the Schedule page and the manual run at  6:17AM will appear on your calendar.

Can more than one whisperer be used in the same zone? 

Will the Spark be available through subscription?

Why or how does the rain delay option work?

Mine is set up with the minimum rain but the program still goes off no matter what. 

My B-hyve sends me a “rain delay” message. 

La salida eléctrica es a 24v?. Podría conectarlo a la electroválvula Rain Bird?. SI quisiera controlar otros dispositivos como bombillas de 12/24 V AC, en distintas zona Puedo hacer? Puedo hacerlo de manera manual o programando por horas, sin interferir en el riesgo?

If wifi is disrupted will the controller continue to water acording to the most recently programmed schedules?

More generally are there any modes of failure (other than loss of power to the house) where the controller can unexpectedly halt watering?  It would be unacceptable to have one's garden die from lack of water if the system fails when one is away from home for a number of days.

To all Netro customers:

Due to rapid increase of active devices connected to the Netro cloud server, we are going to upgrade our server on May 16th Saturday night from 8:30PM to 9:00PM (Pacific Time). During that time frame, all cloud service will be temporarily unavailable but your watering schedules will run normally. If you have a smart watering controller, the light on the unit will blink fast.

Thanks,

Gooooddddmoooooorning!

Here where we are!!! Torino - Cincinnati - Alice Sping - Skagen - Macao - ......

Is it possible set the app whit a unit as metric or imperial or...Mars?!? It is very boring that some parameters are in metric an other in sqft x ex.

Is there a way to see the wifi strength from the sensor.   From the phone I have good strength but from as far as the sensor it comes and goes for reporting.   Thanks!

Dear sirs,

why you don't show the subsoil humidity in the app?

Please add in next revision. 

Thanks.

Is there or could there be a feature to turn on a watering schedule that accommodates for new plants or seedlings that require a bit more water at first and then can be put into a normal schedule?

as the state / province is changed because Madrid is specified instead of Catania, consequently the weather is incorrect.

What's the point option to set the irrigation time at 0 minutes in manual execution? 

It would be more useful a 30 seconds run for testing the valves.

Hello, is it possible to implement Netro with the master valve function? I have both well water and drinking water I would like to be able to choose which water to irrigate.

hello, i have a netro Sprite and work on 3 zone, has con figúrate one at time, its posible configure to work with all zone at same times? 

Hello,

I have got a whisperer sensor since 6 months. It gives me each day the expected figures (temp, humidity, ...) but I have got no figures in the week and month view. It looks like the figures are not kept along days, weeks and month. 

Please advice,

Christophe 

I would love to see a leak detector we could install onto the water lines that could communicate the amount of water used and detect leaks. Like the one Rachio offers.

I’m wondering how many whisperer units I need to have if I my garden has 8 zones. Do I have to get 1 per zone? 

Hello Netro, will you have a black Friday offer? 

Hi,

We have to take back inside our home the whisperer when the cold season is back I guess ? At what  exterior tempeture we should do this ?
