My Spark will no longer turn on any zones the app says that the zone is turned on but there is no activity. The front panel shows no zone number or time. It also won’t water from the front panel.

Hi there, Ive noticed that some of the pie-slices in the moisture/temperature/lux graphs from my Whisperer Plant Sensors are heavily coloured (darker) and some are lightly coloured (lighter). Is this supposed to indicate something? 

I suspected that maybe the difference in colour reflects upload as either live (or cached), but I double checked and they all have >50% wifi connection strength and report regularly...

The Netro system seems to not be monitoring the weather as it use to

Why is my smart watering system now watering at night when my time is set for early morning?

Put Sprite in "paused" mode in winter 

To put Sprite in "paused" mode in winter, you will have winterize your system. First you will have to blow out the sprinkler. You can look at this video to find some useful information.

This video mentioned that you will have to turn on the sprinkler, so you can use the instant manual run feature in the home page to manually start watering for each zone to make sure all the water is out of system.

Then you should put Sprite in "paused" mode just in case some one (for example the kids) accidentally starts a manually run from the app. To put Sprite in "paused" mode, you can go to the Home page->"Enabled". 

I am using Netro software with a Sprite-6 controller. After some moths use I am delighted with the system. The tools it provides help me a lot controlling my garden, with good results. Congratulations. Normaly I use three out of my four zones in Smart (advanced) mode, and the fourth one in Smart (Basic).

I would be useful if we could have a field (name it "Notes" or similar) so that we could enter useful information about the use of each individual program (for example, "I reduced frecuency to alternate days after Oct 15th", or other information. 

Not having that field causes useful feedback not to be available when managing programs.

Thank you.

Is Netro software affected in any degree by changes in official time (summer to wnter time and viceversa)? Thank you.

Why did my system run while we are having constant rain and flood alerts 

Is it possible to turn on more than one valve at the same time? 

MAKE IT SIMPLE AND FAST!

- not possible to run multiple valve at the same time

- app and webapp full of useless things such as the BIG clock in the schedule attached

- interface full of too many things. I dont care about smart watering. why my screen should be full of that?

- setting full of useless things.

- apps should be fast and simple, if you focus on professionals. If you focus on housewives is another story.

- example of ewelink

- not possible to run all the time you want. max 60 minutes. Edit program full of things again. 

- under zone there should be the possibility to add the schedule. why you are making an extra menu?? Zone 1 --> prog1 -->start h8.00; finish h.10:00

Three hours to setup 

Is this any good or just return now?

Does it keep causing problems?

Controller light is off and displays Offline status. Rebooted router resulting in WiFI connections elsewhere in my house and to my other devices except for the Sprite controller. Repowered Sprite controller and also did a reset— same status with no light and Offline status. Help!

Are there any plans to update the Alexa Skill? ... it's over a year and a half since the skill's been released and does need some urgent attention. One being to be able to run a saved program via Alexa and not just one single zone.  Hugely important.  The other (and quite annoying) is how it is coded into your skill to have Alexa ask "what else can I do for you?" over and over (and it is not Alexa but your skill)..this causes freezing on the Echo Show display so even if one does want Alexa to "do" something it does not respond...again, not Alexa, but your skill. Presently, one has to tell Alexa "goodbye" wait for at least a minute, before using my Show for another purpose...I have follow up turned off on all my devices in my Alexa settings.  No other skill causes Alexa to respond this way - freezing and "what else can I do".  It is unnecessary and needs to be removed for the reasons stated.  Can you advise when the skill will be updated?  Many customers, like myself, purchased your controller because of the Alexa compatibility which presently is very minimal.  Not all of us want to whip out a phone to run a program which is why we have Alexa & Google devices in the first place.  The IOS app has been updated, but the Alexa skill sadly has not.  Thank you in advance and eagerly await your reply,  kind regards 

Hello, I am leaving in Italy  have several whisperer devices in my garden and I would like to know if it is better to remove them during the winter season when my watering network is off? Thank you.

Hi, I have one out of 4 zones who won't start watering. I have changed the valve and the problem still persist. I have checked the connections and the cables, all looks good. There is voltage. 

Any ideea? 

Thank you
