Hi Kirk,


We can take the device back and replace the fuse with a larger one which will solve the issue. If this sounds like a good solution for you please write to us support@netrohome.com and let us know your home address for shipping purpose.

Hi Rich,

Could you please try manual water one of the two zones on the Home page of the app and see if two zones still run at the same time? If it still happens, please write to us support@netrohome.com


The blue play button in zone area on the Home page is for manual run for your zones.

Removing plant sensor

Updated at 2019-08-15 06:21:03 UTC

Hi Alessia,


We saw you have deleted this standalone sensor. 

If you want to move the stand alone sensors to a zone, please go to the home page. There is a drop down menu and please select your Sprite controller, then go to Add a Product-> Plant sensor and then select the zone and complete the following procedures to add the sensor. You will need to press the button 6 times on the back of the sensor to change its mode to Setup mode (light blinking slowly).


Please let us know if you want to delete the "Plant Sensors" in the drop menu and we can help you delete it from the server side.


Thanks,

Netro Support

Hi Lou,


Currently Netro does not allow restrict watering on a spedific date. There are two options as a workaround. 

1. Create a restriction.

2. Put Sprite in "paused" mode (Settings->Controller->toggle the "Enabled" button).

Hi Sergio,


So far we have supported Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice control in English. We currently do not open MQTT to users. We may consider support API in our future development plan.

Sprite doesn't open valve

Updated at 2019-08-07 08:15:46 UTC
Hi Tony,

Could you please send us a picture of how you wire your new 24VAC valve to support@netrohome.com?

Do you have a multi-meter to test the voltage? To test if the controller is working properly,  please use a multimeter (AC voltage mode) to test the voltage between the common wire and the zone wire when the zone is active. Normally the voltage should be between 24V and 28V.

I am a little worried that connecting the Netro controller to a DC valve might cause a problem, although chance is small.

Thanks,

Runs for 9 hours at a time

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for contacting us. Netro will try to water your zones between your preferred time in Scheduling. However, Netro will still water your zones out side of your preferred time if Netro think the smart watering is not enough.

To ensure your preferred watering time, you can add a restriction. We just checked your account and we found you have created a restriction ''no watering between 4 am to 11 pm" 

FYI,to adjust smart watering, please go to settings->zones->select a zone->smart zone and choose your preferred watering mode. You can choose eco mode to decrease the watering amount. You can also choose "customized" mode to adjust watering by providing the preferred moisture level and flow rate of your sprinklers.

Thanks,
Netro Support

changing watering zone times?

Logo
Netro Support
Updated at 2019-08-06 02:30:16 UTC

Hi Haru,


Netro calculates the smart schedules based on environmental conditions including the soil type. Some zones are watered multiple times a day, you probably selected clay, clay loam or loam as the soil type which accepts water slowly, often as little as 1/4 inch per hour and that is why we break the watering into many pieces to avoid water runoff.

Thanks,

Hi Gérard, 


Do you mean about sensor waterproofing? Whisperer will work during rain, but it cannot be submerged into water. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Dear customer,


When Sprite finishes running a watering schedule, it will send a confirmation to the cloud server. In this way, the could server knows whether the schedules are correctly executed or not.

 

The exclamation mark means the cloud server did not receive the confirmation from the device. There are two possible causes:

 

1. the device is not powered up when it was supposed to be powered up to run that schedule. Therefore, the corresponding zone is not watered (what is why we use the exclamation to alert users)

 

2. the schedule run fine but it was during a temporary network outage or exception so that the confirmation cannot be delivered to the server. Wireless connection can be unstable for a short peroid time so it is not uncommon to have a glitch in the communication.


Please write to support@netrohome.com if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Netro Support

30 minutes = 10 minutes X 3

Hi Paul,

As far as doing multiple watering runs, the only way to do that would be to create multiple programs. To water 10 minutes 3 times each, you will have to create 3 program. Please make sure to space the start times out so the start times do not overlap. 


Thanks,
