Able to create zones with Pixie?

Mike Willet
Updated at 2021-06-24 20:47:47 UTC 

I have 8 pixie faucet timers and 4 whisper sensors:

3 for backyard

3 for front yard

1 for drip irrigation in front

1 for drip irrigation in back

I’m trying to assign the 3 front timers in a single zone and sync with 1 whisper sensor. So far, the sensor only seems to sync with 1 timer and each timer shows up as a separate zone.

Also want the same for the back yard. Is this possible?

Can pixie timers be used to create zones?

Zero Readings

One of my whisperers gives a zero reading on all metrics about twice every 24hours. Other times it seems normal. Is it broken?

Why

Bruce Rodtnick
Updated at 2021-06-26 14:59:00 UTC 

I have a front yard with zoysia grass, about a thousand square feet, no trees. My app keeps telling me that it will water this grass tomorrow. It is obvious that it needs watering, but the next morning I see that it has not been watered and it says I will water it tomorrow. There is no rain forecast, it has been very hot. It Waters the rest of my yard properly, it's just my front yard that it does it like this. Why does it keep changing its mind?

Also this same area, my front yard, has no trees but the app says there are trees on it. And I cannot change it. I would think if this area had trees on it it would be taking much more water and the app would water more. How can I change this on the app?

Is there any way to increase the font size on the rain and irrigation charts in the app.  Alternatively can the data be switched to a table with larger type?   Or zoom?

I signed up to be a beta tester but have never received any information or a beta version of the app to test out. Anyone actually beta testing anything?  Maybe I just wasn’t chosen to participate.

Adding a second moisture sensor to the Netro app

Richard Richards
Updated at 2021-07-06 22:32:47 UTC 
 I purchased a second Whisperer. I added it via the Netro app, and it shows up on the app start page.  As it is in a different part of the USA than the first sensor, I wanted to assign  a different location but the app does not seem to allow this.  Am I missing something?

How to Manually Water with Pixie?

Mike Willet
Updated at 2021-07-07 17:27:53 UTC 
Is there a way to activate a watering manually without having to restart the pixie or wait until it syncs? I just want to press manually water on the app and have it start. I’ve tried it with the ‘stay online’ beta feature and it still says ‘watering in xx minutes’.

Can't connect to Sprite anymore

Updated at 2021-07-11 10:22:07 UTC 

Hi 


Got my Sprite in March, but my whole irrigation installation got finished two weeks ago and then installed the Sprite for the first time. It was troublesome to say the least, android was not helping when switching between the Netro wifi and router, but somehow got it working. A couple of days later it was offline, but managed to reconnect. Today I checked again and it was offline, did everything the the troubleshooting page recommnend and nothing worked, even placed a wifi repeater just to be sure. Ended up resetting it and even that didn't work, the connection process always ends with a network failure message.


Edit a couple of hours later: been trying to connect again, the behavior of the app is like two weeks ago at the beginning. When trying to switch back after connecting to the sprite wifi, the login screen appears and off course the whole process is interrupted


Edit 11.07.2021: Made an attempt to reconnect again, worked but inmediatly after the Sprite was offline again...


This is of course very frustrating, please help getting the Sprite working properly.

New in Netro. How to reduce watering?

Nachomotos
Updated at 2021-07-14 07:00:23 UTC 

Hello, I have just bought and installed a new Netro in my garden. I am running the smart watering option and have 2 questions:

Madrid has a weather quite warm and dry, reaching more than 105 F, but these days we have 85 F (minimum at night 65 F)

1-. How to reduce te watering times but still use smart watering option (Netro is seting almost double time that I had with my manual program, my lawn was green enough). Those watering times would be aceptable for hot days, I suppose.

2-. The 4th zone is used for plant pots. Netro is setting 2 followed watering periods everyday of  3 or 4 minutes each . Thats is too much and the water flows out from the container below the pot. Wouldnt be better to water 2 times but separately during the day?

Thanks!

Nacho

Weather Conditions setting

Steven Then
Updated at 2021-07-15 14:04:18 UTC 

It seems if there is any chance of rain, the smart watering always skips the day. Even if I increase the threshold to the highest setting for both forecast or expectation it will skip the day. Can someone help me properly configure the smart watering feature?  This Saturday, it's expected to rain less than my threshold in the evening, I would like the smart watering to water in the morning. 


Thanks
