Smart Schedule is Confusing Dumb Me

Hi Michael,


The default setting of Netro watering controller's smart watering level is advanced and your zones will be watered automatically by Netro with smart schedules.

Netro will do everything for you, like skipping smart watering and programs when there is large amount of rain(>0.2inch/ 5.08 mm) or watering regulations and manual restrictions.

If you selected clay, clay loam or loam as the soil type which accepts water slowly, often as little as 1/4 inch per hour, Netro will break the watering into many pieces to avoid water runoff.

If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic, which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule.

For more information about Netro smart watering, here is an article about Netro three watering modes which might be helpful. https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111

Dear Bigolin,


Please check the wires. Are they loose or disconnected from the slots? Please check if the valves are connected correctly. If you believe the wires are correctly installed,  please check if there is a main valve/faucet that is turned off manually. 

Could you please also check whether there are shorted zones or open zones? You just need to use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the common wire and each zone (remove the wires from the slots before testing the resistance). The normal reading would be 20-60 Ohms. If the reading is less than 10 Ohms then you might have a shorted circuit in the solenoid and if it is larger than 80 Ohms you might have an open circuit. 


Thanks,

Hi Simone,


Please check the wires. Are they loose or disconnected from the slots? Please also check the common wires and the master valve if you have one. If you believe the wires are correctly installed,  please check if there is a main valve/faucet that is turned off manually. 


To test if the controller is working properly, 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.

You might also want to check whether there are shorted zones or open zones. You just need to use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the common wire and each zone (remove the wires from the slots before testing the resistance). The normal reading would be 20-60 Ohms. If the reading is less than 10 Ohms then you might have a shorted circuit in the solenoid and if it is larger than 80 Ohms you might have an open circuit.

Is Netro that smart?

更新时间 2023-03-16 08:02:10 UTC

Hi Alessandro,


There are two moisture values: the top soil moisture reported by the sensor, and the deep soil moisture estimated by Netro. We have a AI model to estimate the deep soil moisture. 

Do you mean skip watering feature? It is through Settings->Sensors. It allows user to select a sensor and tap the "Watering Adjustment" to input the value of "moisture to skip watering/ add watering". This skip watering feature uses the top-soil moisture from Whisperer sensor, not the overall moisture level. The smart watering uses overall moisture.


Thanks,

Wency

Hi Fernando,

1.We have implemented the app notification when the device starts to water. Currently it is ready for beta testing. Please let us know if you are interested in trying this feature and if yes we will enable it internally for you. In the next app release there will be a public on/off control for this feature.

2. We have updated the station ID for you now.

Hi Vieri,


If you are not sure about the exact flow rate, you can select "default" and see if it meet your watering needs. If not, you can adjust the value.

Hi Vincent,


Netro will skip smart watering and programs when there is large amount of rain(>0.2inch/ 5.08 mm) or watering regulations and manual restrictions. Please check if it is the weather restrictions. You can customize the weather restrictions in setting -> preferences -> rain, like I want to skip the schedules on the day after tomorrow as well, or I want to skip if rain more than 0.5 inch.

更新时间 2023-02-03 01:26:38 UTC

Dear customer,


The "E2" code indicates that you might have an open circuit. Could you please check if the valve is connected or broken? 


You might also want to check whether there are shorted zones or open zones. You just need to use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the common wire and each zone (remove the wires from the slots before testing the resistance). The normal reading would be 20-60 Ohms. If the reading is less than 10 Ohms then you might have a shorted circuit in the solenoid and if it is larger than 80 Ohms you might have an open circuit.

Dear customer,


You can turn off the smart zone feature so the rain delay will be disabled. Or you can customize the weather restrictions in setting -> preferences -> rain and set the threshold at a high value, like 5 inch.


Currently Netro cannot export the irrigation data to a file.


Thanks,
