API broken?

Hi, I can get my Netro controller info using:

curl -v https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/info.json?key=MYAPIKEY

(where MYAPIKEY is a key from the user account page)

but when I try to update soil moisture data with:

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"key":"MYAPIKEY","moisture":100}' "https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/set_moisture.json"

I get an error about an invalid key:

{"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","tid":"1763700896_KpmY","version":"2.0","token_limit":0,"token_remaining":0,"last_active":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","token_reset":"2025-11-22T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":1,"message":"Invalid key: ","params":{}}]}

What's going on?

I cannot add my pixie z1 to the app because pixie z1 is not shown as an option. I have the hub connected.

The average temperature for a day is insufficient to calculate correct watering.

Richard
Updated at 2025-12-17 07:17:57 UTC 
When I have Whisperers, the system appears to calculate the average over the day about 4 degrees higher than for zones without Whisperers.

It seems that, even though the weather data is available throughout the day, that zones without sensors only use the forecast high and low.


This is insufficient to correctly adjust for the amount of watering required.


For example, today is 7 degrees C up to 36.

Whisperer zones average the temp at 26C while non-Whisperer zone calculate the average at 22C.


On these extremely hot days, the non-whisperer zones are under-watering much more than the Whisperer zones.


Also note that even the zones with Whisperers always under-water and needs custom programs or manual intervention.


This finally explains to me why zones are always under-watered.


Can the system please use multiple day readings for non-Whisperer zones and PLEASE provide more watering?

aut watering triggered when Wisperer is out of power

Eric Jonsson
Updated at 2026-01-08 12:02:58 UTC 

Hello,

I have 2 Whisperer for automatic regularion of my watering.

They work normally work perfekt but when the bad weather prevents charging for o longer period they go to sleep/closes down.

Then my Netro thinks the soil is dry 0% humidity and aut starts my watering eventhough the soil is 90%.

I have ti disable the Netro to stop watering until the Whispering is charged.

Since I do not get any warning that the Wispering power is too low the aut watering can go on and on wasting my water and flooding my garden!

Old whisperer

Jean Paul Lasserre
Updated at 2026-01-20 10:38:33 UTC 

My two whisperers stopped due to lack of sun. The new one started communicating again.

The old one started communicating but then stopped while the battery was still above 90%.

Seems a communication problem 

Blue light blinking turned quickly to white light blinking.

After blinking a few minutes it stopped but is not connected to the App.

Tried putting it ON close to controller and then close to WiFi router, the result is the same, no connection.

Is the whisperer dead ? Should I buy a new one ?

Thanks

New whisperer

Jean Paul Lasserre
Updated at 2026-03-03 08:20:29 UTC 

Bought a new whisperer as an old one is no longer working.

REMARK : WHILE I LIVE IN A TEMPERATE AREA NONE OF MY WHISPERERS LASTS MORE THAN 26 MONTHS WHICH IS SURPRISING AS IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A CONSUMABLE.

Clicked as required first blinking blue light then blinking white light.

Went to sensors and see the dead old one, the working one but do not see the newly bought one.

Do not see either a + sign to add a new one.

What should I do ?

Can you have multiple locations or do you have to setup separate accounts?

If separate accounts, how do you do that?

Adding a 2nd system

Jayden Lockley
Updated at 2026-03-21 07:03:33 UTC 

I currently have a Netro Sprite system set up on a bore, I'm only using 9 stations currently but I can't easily add any more stations/wiring to this system. 

I can easily access the wiring where I would like to add more stations, am I able to pick up the earth and pump start wires, and add a 2nd sprite or spark controller there? 


Or has anyone got any ideas of how I can add more stations without running more wiring back to the master controller?

Thanks

Valve finder - feature request

Monkeyzu
Updated at 2026-03-12 08:20:45 UTC 

Hi,

Any chance of adding a valve/solenoid finder feature? This would work similar to products like Chatterbox. The selected station for valve finding would switch the valve on and off quickly so that the rattle/chatter sound it makes can be used to find it. The main valve could be left closed.

Thanks

Skip watering based on soil moisture (Pixie + Whisperer)

cpline
Updated at 2026-02-02 17:04:38 UTC 
Hello! I would like to set up my system to skip watering if soil moisture reads above a certain threshold. I have the Whisperer and the Pixie, so would like the Whisperer to communicate with the Pixie, so the Pixie skips watering if soil moisture is high enough. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Watering timing conflict in app

Will
Updated at 2026-03-17 21:54:57 UTC 
The whisperer sensor combined with the app seems confused. The app tells me to water every day however the sensor tells me a date on when to water next that is usually 8+ days later. 

The app doesn’t seem to talk to itself as far as the reminders are concerned.


(Update 3/17: I still get the notification to water every day, and the sensor still gives me a date over a week away on average)
