help just getting this set up. came with my house. the light is not blinking. can’t find a start button

Hi Guys, 

I have some questions, which answers I couldn't completely find in other posts here.

I have installed a Pixie and a whisperer on my balcony. So far it looks quite good, but it still requires some tuning. 

Unfortunately the house is not well designed which resulted in a complained from my neighbours below me about dirty water dripping onto their balcony, quite soon after I installed the new watering system (with irrigation drippers)

Seems like the Pixie is watering too much, so I went into the settings and configured the SmartWatering with Advanced and tweaked the settings such that it resulted in ~1 min watering per day.

My first question: All over the app, 1 min watering seems to be the minimum - is this correct? Is there a plan to enable even shorter cycles?

When the Pixie is watering for two minutes some of my pots are already filled up and start soaking to the neighbors. 

I think a 30 seconds cycle twice a day should even be sufficient for me. However, I couldn't find a way to get below 1 min. Neither with manual, nor with SmartZone.

So, my current solution would be two have 1 minute in the morning and 1 minute in the evening. That should work on dry days. 

However, I've not quite understood yet, when the SmartZone (if set to basic) skips the watering. It's only depending on the weather forecast, right?

When checking the Whisperer settings, I can also select watering to be skipped and added at certain thresholds. At what times are those waterings added? And at what intervals is this repeated? 

E.g. Add watering set for 50% to 1m. Does this mean it adds 1m watering for that day? once? at what time?

Actually I'd very much like to use the SmartWatering Advanced features, but it just waters too much for my small plants on the balcony. I'm not sure, how I can archive a smart watering behavior in the best way, considering that it should water quite often, but optimally less than 1m, because my neighbors don't want to have a dirty and wet balcony all the time ;-)

And yes, I could reduce the dripping amount at the sprinkers, but this also would mean that it's not spread at all and really just dripping. 

Looking forward for some tips or hints,

Kind regards & stay healthy,

Lukas

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.

the app is localized. why can't I use localized name to name my area? 

I’m trying to water manually with my pixie but when I click “play” it just goes to pending and never starts watering. How do I fix this?

Hi,

I have the netro connected to one water source.

Now I am going to install a vertical garden with very low flow and I want the source of water to be a different one from the main source for the garden.

Is there a way I can connect it as an independent solenoide valve that doesn't need to have the master turned on ?

Thank you,

Carlos

Can I install the Sprite control unit at exterior location? Can it be installed at exterior weather exposure (rain) or sun light?

hello,

 I have a problem with a Whisperer, it turns off, when turned on it detects the data, after an hour it should detect the data again instead it turns off.  I bought 3, the other 2 work perfectly.  I send you photos of zone 6 where the Whisperer is connected.  I did the reconfiguration again but nothing has changed.  I need help.

Thanks

Andrea

Got a notification today that tells me to "Water Your Sensor Today".

Does anyone know if I am supposed to pull the sensor out to clean it or just water the surrounding area of the sensor or do I pour water directly on to the sensor's solar battery surface?

Does it automatically stop if it rains?

I think only US starts the week on sunday, in Europe we Start the week on Monday, not Sunday

Hello,

Is there a way to use only master valve Without engaging any other zones?

When you select the year view you see only 12 months. Instead it would be useful to add 13, so I could compare year over year the same month.

Not only the last 12 months

Hello,

 Is there a way to use the subsoil reading vs the topsoil reading from the sensor.  For example the top soil reading always reads 100% but the sub soil says 55% which is more believable in Florida's Sandy soil.  The unit did not water for 27 days and still read 99% and sub soil at 20%.  I watered it to see if it would change.  When I take the sensor out of the ground it does change state.  

My Netro Whisperer sensor LED changed colors from blue to red on its own.  Is this normal?

I had Smart Scheduling enabled on all zones and then I turned off smart scheduling for all zones but the smart schedules for the next 30 days do not go away. Appears no way to delete them?

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!

Ciao... Io rinomino le zone e quando gli do il comando con Alexa per irrigare una determinata zona rinominata non capisce e irrigua tutte le zone... Come si può fare? 

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.

Hi, I wanted to know if I could remove a watering entry because of a system failure. Basically I had an issue where the wire on the master valve was disconnected and the scheduled watering sessions did not work for the week. After I figured out the problem, my system shows 80% watered but my grass is brown. I know I could take a hose to the lawn or just run the system till it hits 100% but it would be easier to just delete the entries and have the system understand it was never watered those days. Have not seen any way to do this so maybe I a missing something.
