Yard has been fertilized and need to water now as next scheduled is Sunday.

I have checked in the smart schedule that tomorrow is programmed to run zones that should be skipped.

I have set up the whisperer to skip run if moisture is above 40%. Current moisture is:

• Zone 2 - 92%
• Zone 5 - 70%

Hi, I'm the owner of a Netro 6 channel at my primary home where I use the smart watering function with no program, after 4 years I found the correct configuration and I'm really happy about the complete automation. In my vacancy home I bought a Pixie few weeks ago. I'm afraid the connection could be off when I'm not there. In the last weeks I set a program with 1 day on 5 min and the next off and the smart watering to check the rain and cancel the day raining. I would like to use the Pixie in the complete automation like in my principal home. So my question is what happen if I set only smart watering and then internet go off? Is it scheduled inside the Pixie a sort of program of watering that works anyway and the plant will receive water (even if in not an optimized way)?

Hi! I just installed my brand new whisperer, and I’m wondering which value I should configure for the skip watering functionality (80% by default). I have the perception that is too high for a Bermuda lawn.

Thank you!

One of my sensors is reporting strange temperature numbers. Any ideas on how to fix this. I tried a reboot and a reset (remove and add again).

Hi I have 6 senors that have all worked perfectly for 3 months unattended. A month ago I noticed 1of them only had 5% charge so I switched it to 12 hour reporting and it is now on 38%. Today another sensor has gone to 0% charge and stopped reporting. It would be great if you could be set it automatically switch at say 30% charge. It will be 3 months before I am back to the house so I hope the sensor can recover. Thanks for a fantastic product.

Hey guys!

I really love the smart sprinkler controller and I would really like to buy a Whisperer as well. The problem is that the shipping to Romania is 25$ which brings the total to almost 100$ and with VAT over that, let's say I would like to buy two sensors and not one for the price of two. 

Do you guys know a shop where I could buy the sensor from other from the ones in The USA?

PS: I bought the controller from Amazon UK but they don't have the whisperer.

Thanks!

Is there a way to manually enter rainfall amounts. The associated apps are very inaccurate. As an example, I received a 1/2 inch of rain yesterday but the app shows no rainfall. As a result I have to shut off the system and then manually turn on to water when appropriate. Very frustrating. 

Hi there,

Can zones be setup with several sprinklers in the one zone ?  From what I can see from another question, is it correct that you setup the aproximate size of each zone ?  I have several zones with maybe 10 sprinklers in each zone, with sprinklers about 3m apart.

Also, is there any access to a test / simulation system that I can setup my location and see how well it would adapt to weather.  I am planning the installation for southern Spain

Thanks in advance

Hi I Have a big terrace with many plants divided in 3 zone controlled by Netro. To use the smart watering and have an acceptable time/frequence for watering (6 min every 2.5 days) I have to set user and from 80% to 85% umidity. If I set frequent or extra water the estimated frequency is 4/5 days. Considering in summer my setting seems nor giving enough water to plants what kind of setting do you suggest to increase the frequency (change msq, kind of sprinkle or whatever).

Thanks in advance for answer

I find the Weather apps to be very inaccurate with respect to rainfall at my home. Is there a way to add a near by weather station for better accuracy?

I installed two sensors today and added watering adjustment so that every time the humidity goes below 10% another 10 minutes of watering is added. Unfortunately, there is a bug and the watering time is triggered right away even though the faucet timer connects only every three hours. The additional watering time needs to be scheduled after the next timer sync and not right away. It's a clear bug.

Thanks

My sprinklers keep watering even though skipping if it rains is selected with low threshhold

Hello,

I'm on vacation and my internet connection has been cut off. I had planned before on netro waterings for the week. Is that without an internet connection in my house, the waterings programmed before will still be done?

Best regards 

Arnaud

Hello, I set the app to run 3 manual programs on the odds day and I have the smart watering system active on all zones.

Will it skip my watering if there is rain in the forecast on an odd day?

Hi 

I am a new user here and just installed the Netro in my house. The “Smart watering” schedule seems very odd to me.

As you can see there are 2 rounds for each zone and the time of zone 4 is about an hour in one round. Is this normal ?

Right now the watering schedule the Netro program is using for my St. Augustine grass is killing my grass. I live in Dallas and Jully/August is brutal on lawns. If I water outside the schedule the program has established the schedule is changed. Is there anyway for me to water my with Netro and keep the smart watering schedule Netro has? Right now I by pass the Netro by manually engaging my water values, not using Netro. 

Thanks,

Will

I had to turn off my water valve to my sprinkler system for a week (ending in a few days) and forgot to disable smart watering on my netro.  Netro thinks it did a complete watering last Saturday, and adjusted estimated soil moisture accordingly.  Netro isn't planning another watering for another 9-10 days.  However no watering last Saturday occurred.  

How best should I handle this?  Is there a way to delete past watering, which will lower soil estimated moisture, triggering a sooner watering than currently scheduled?  Or should I just do a manual long watering as soon as I can?

I have an issue/conflict  with the watering adjustments for the sensors and the Smart Zone Sheduling

I have seen something weird. 

• I Have set up the Watering Adjustment for sensors the following I describe o be sure about the problem
• Moisture to Skip watering 50%
• Moisture to Add watering 30%
• Duration 5 minutes (only) -- it is a check

• The Smart Zones are st up the following
• Smart Zone - enabled
• Mode - regular

The watering run today only 5 minutes, when the smart  schedule  defined by the system was above that. As you can see, tomorrow watering says different time runs per zone, but it will run a maximum of 5 minutes. This means that the sensor configuration overrides the Smart Zone. And it should not.

As far as I understand the Watering adjustemt is to add EXTRA watering when needed based on the moisture level. Attached picture

Prior to this setup I had the Duration for Watering Adjustment for 15  and 10 minutes, and you can see in the past days runs, that always run for 15 -10 minutes depending the zone/sensor. - Attached picture

In previous weeks, it was working fine and adding extra watering when need it to keep the moisture levels.

Any idea?

I DID THE CHANGES PROPOSED BY NETRO  and it is not working

Take a look the screen shots

Zones 3,4,5 it is below the 30% trigger

Ciao.

Just installed Netro Sprite.

I enjoyed to set up the zones with advanced Smart watering, but I'm not confident with what is reported in "estimated frequency and duration". The frequency showed in the setting page seems too long (e.g. every 6 days)... but, if I see what is scheduled in the calendar it seems much closer to my expectation (e.g. every 2 days).   How daoes it work??

Thanks
