Is there a program for multiple watering to start grass seed germination ? 

Hello,

I've just been using a Netro Spark to water my garden. I have set up 3 zones. Two of these zones have a rotor head sprinkler. However, they don't cover the same area. One of them rotates over 90 degrees. The other rotates 180 degrees. So I think the rotor head that covers the 180 degrees needs to run double the time of the 90 degree one. How can I set this? I've set the sqm for each head, but smart irrigation used the same times for both.

Kind regards,

Sjors

Hi there!

I live in Madrid, Spain and use AccuWeather as my weather provider, since NetroWeather does not provide a correct forecast for this area for some reason.

This week we have had heavy rain forecast so Netro will not activate the irrigation system for several days. The problem is that as the day goes by the forecast is changing and Netro's planning is not updated.

It has already been several days in which according to the initial forecast, it was supposed to rain and it did not, so I have had to launch manual irrigations.  

Is there any way to force the smart irrigation program to update according to the new weather forecast?

Thanks!

Regards,

Hi,

I've two whisperer and four zones linked to them. I've customized the smart watering setting the correct flow rate of my Sprinklers. I've to set the humidity range for: Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass,Perennial Ryegrass and three trees: Sweet Cherry, Common Ash, Catalpa.

I want to economize my watering what humidity range I've to set?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to add a whisperer to my system. 

When I go through the procedure, in the app i get asked the address then I press enter and I receive an error message saying that I must switch on the GPS services, which is already on and I cannot go past this. Anyone can help please?

Thanks! 

I bought a Netro controller, installed it, and everything works. When I try to integrate it with Alexa, it becomes complicated. I already downloaded the skill and associated my user, but it doesn't appear in Alexa. It only works when testing the skill. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Thank you.

Five zones. One not getting smart watering. Ideas on how to correct this? Thanks. 

I set up all of my zones for smart watering today and it looks like it will be running all day. On zone 1 it must have watered 5 times (close to an hour total) even after it showed 100% saturation. Do i need to adjust some settings? That is way too much water for 70 degree weather in April. 

Thanks,

Matt

Good morning.
I just started using Netro Sprite 8 zones out of 12 zones with two whisperers.
Congratulations for the App and the Web interface I'm using.
I have a concern about some trivial errors in the interfaces:
If you go to settings/preferences/SchedulingSetting
1.1 The Italian translation of "Two Frames" in "Due Cornici" makes me smile, it is better translated in "Due Cicli" or "Due Fasi". But my suggestion is also for English : it is my opinion that if instead of "Time Frames" and "Two Frames" you use "Time Phase" and "Two Phase" it is much better also for English and automatic translations free from misunderstandings.
1.2 Only in the App and not on the Web, the description of the two phases has "afternoon" under "morning" and vice versa.
Now I have a question:
I ask you for an explanation on Smart Scheduling.
I had set a lower limit of 10 C° and a Time Phase of 6:00 - 10:00. When I removed the 10 C° limit, the system did the same day a cycle at 23:58 instead of waiting for 6:00. why?

I hope I have been helpful and thank you for any response.

why if Netro is so smart after months of learning with the whisperer still uses the "humidity to add watering" data set by me and doesn't create a custom program?  smartzone is in advanced level and regular mode.

After a lot of time working fine, suddenly whisperer is crazy. With no reason suddenly the humidity is at "0" and the temperatures are above "90". I have cleaned with water the whispers. I have cleaned the device with water but remains doing same random mistake-

Thanks.

I do not understand how many millimeters to set. I have microsprinklers of 4lt/h and 2lt/h. I thought to set to 4000ml/h but the max is 100ml/h.

How to calculate? I have a big terrace with 30 plants and various microsprinklers.

Thank you,

Hi, I'd like to reduce the watering time in 1 zone which gets dumped each time Netro waters. The other zones are ok. Is there a way to do that in the smart mode? Maybe set an offset for that specific zone?

I have a Sprite with 3 Whisperers, all in the veggie patch.

I have the zones set to customize with a low of 25% and a high of 45% (I find 30 - 35 % moisture about right)

But the zones just won't get watered!

Zone 1 is down to 6% today and has been dropping steadily for days.

I HAVE to manually water, as the day time temperatures are consistently over 30 degrees (today 33, tomorrow 37).

Otherwise the plants will die.

Given there are only two values to enter (low and high). How do I stop the Netro from skipping days and putting the zones in the "Moisture" category??

At the end of the whisperer's learning time, the times are set automatically in the program or have to be done manually?

My main water line to the sprinkler system came loose and flooded my vacation home yard with 250,000 gallons of water before the leak was discovered and repaired.  Does Netro have the ability to control an electric valve on this feeder line such that the main valve will only open when the irrigation system calls for water?

My flower gardens have several inches of wood chip mulch covering the soil.  After a season of "Smart Watering" my beds are dry and the perennial plants are stressed.

Does mulch absorb irrigation water intended for the plants?  Is the presence of mulch a factor affecting the duration of an irrigation cycle?

Because it rained for two days, I put temporary restrictions on programming my Netro. Now I cannot reprogram it no matter what I do! Any clue what I should do besides the manual or adding new program?

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible and makes sense to connect more than one rain sensor to the Netro Sprite.

I do not know if it happened before, I noticed it today with yesterday's irrigations.

The report from the Netro app (iOS) says that 2 of the 5 planned waterings failed (BTW, why , for which technical reason ?)

The report from the web interface says that 3 of the 5 planned waterings failed (BTW , why, same question above)

I set up a IFTTT applet to receive a notification after every successful watering and according to that 5 to 5 waterings were OK.

I do not post screenshots from IFTT as they are 5, but of course they are available for digging if anybody from netro needs them.

Please help me:

1.  what should I trust ?
2. based on which  result (app or web) did the scheduler react for today's waterings ? I suppose on web, because I got today exactly the three waterings that "failed" yesterday according to web report.

Thank you.
