Sprite seems to open valve then fails to deliver water to the system

David Claridge
Updated at 2019-05-18 13:21:53 UTC 

I have had my Sprite installed for a couple of weeks and all seemed well, but looking at my garden I realized it was not watering. When I turn it on manually I can hear a short buzz and water entering the valve, but there is no flow. I can open the valve manually and water then flows. I have reverted the valve to the old timer and it then opens the valve, so I don't think the problem lies there. 

I have the black wire on the valve connected to the common terminal, which was how it was set up on the old timer. I cannot figure out what the the problem is. 

I am an international user with a non-Netro PSU, but it seems to as specified: 24VAC 850mA Adapter AC-AC 100V-240V to 24VAC Power Supply Adapter UK PLUG

Can anyone help me overcome this problem with what otherwise seems to be an excellent system?

Why is one zone being favored when all zones are identical?

Steven V
Updated at 2019-05-18 13:08:55 UTC 
Just installed the system yesterday and I noticed zone 5 (of 5) for some reason is getting special treatment over the rest. All zones are set identically for the same types of grass, soil and sprinkler heads. However looking at the schedule zone 5 seems to be getting more attention than the rest (i.e.: only zone being watered during off days)  what's going on here?

Hot weather algorithm

Joshua Berk
Updated at 2019-05-17 16:15:51 UTC 

I live in Arizona and it's not really hot yet but it's starting to get warmer and I noticed my rye grass is starting to die off and everybody else's is very green.  I think it's because netro isn't watering as often as it should be when it gets warmer. I'm aware I can set a manual schedule but that kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought Netro. So what I'm saying is I think an algorithm needs to be adjusted so hot dry climates get a little more watering for winter grass that's still in season before the Bermuda comes in.

Manual mode fail to shut off

Junglim Huh
Updated at 2019-05-16 02:05:13 UTC 

Today, I went around the house to start the season, checking springklers, and one zone wouldn't stop in manual mode. I tried to be closer to home to get better Wifi signal. It still would not stop even if I turn on/off other zone. Shouldn't  manual stop override any previous malfunctions? I had to shut the main sprinkler valve for now because there was no way to stop the water for one particular zone.

Any fix for this? I am planning on a leave and that was the whole reason I got Netro, but this worries me if water won't shut off while I am away.

Why does zone 1 only allow 1 minute manual water sequence and all the other zones it’s 5 minutes. I can’t figure out how to change this?

Hi,   

Could you please confirm if the Pixie faucet joint is GHT (garden hose thread) or is it NPT (National Pipe Thread)? 

I'm looking for adapters in Australia to use this unit and its unclear what the size/type the faucet is. 

Thanks!

Sprinkle does not stop, does not start, freezing...

Henry
Updated at 2019-05-06 19:40:59 UTC 

I have received today the netro controller, 12 zones.


I have installed it correctly, 1 common wire and 7 zones.


It has connected to thr wifi easily, no problem. 


I can start any zone from the seven manually, but if I turn off manually, it does not turn it off...


If i start another zone then sometimes it stops the previus zone finally then start the new one..


and sometimes it just does not react anymore.. does not matter what i turn off or turn on manually, it does nothing.... 


but the device receives every command, because everytime when i turn a zone off or on, the led will blink 1-2 but nothing happens.


I checked wire, unwire and rewire again just for sure and tried the another common wire socket... then made factory reset and reconfigured it..


same issue...


it turns off zones compketely only if i unplug it from the socket, then i replug it, then it works until i start 1-2 zones and then again the same issues...


so what to do with it?

Connecting Hunter PVG-Valves

John Mayer
Updated at 2019-05-01 15:57:37 UTC 

Hello, 


I am trying to connect my Hunter PVG 101 GB valves to my new Metro Sprite. 


I haven't installed a watering System before so I am quite a newbie here. 

I have managed to set my Sprite up. But my valves aren't working. 

I have double checked my wires. No issue there. As I am living in Germany I have bought my own power supply. It's this one: INNOVATE LED Trafo ECO 24 Volt/DC, 0-50W - LED Treiber - Transformator - Netzteil - Driver (24V - 50W) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01AALEYR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LgCYCb2PT86Y9


Are there any recommendations, what I could do wrong?


Thanks so much,

Weather Company API- Revenue stream for Netro

Kirk Davis
Updated at 2019-04-20 12:58:20 UTC 
Topic: General
It is my understanding that you could restore our ability to pull data into netro from our individual weather stations. This would require paying for the API, which you could mark up 20% and offer a paid option to netro clients. $3.99 a year, for example, would be totally worth it to get accurate information to my sprinkler controller. As I have outlined in a previous post, dark sky has proven to be wildly inaccurate. It's Miss estimates rainfall by at least 50%, on average, and is within three degrees plus or minus on high temperature only about 50% of the time.

Irritating - Dark Sky is junk.

Kirk Davis
Updated at 2019-04-20 12:21:46 UTC 

Why can't I see the assumption Netro is making on the amount of rain that fell the day before? I paid Dark Sky for the time machine feature, but it's never accurate Yesterday  it rained here over an inch (rain gauge and $250 weather station agreed)  Dark Sky time machine (no, not Hot Tub time machine) reported  25 inch. At the very least I should be able to go into the app and put the actual rain that fell for the day before. Is there a way to do it, and if not, will you please add it? I would get a Whisperer, but the feedback has been rather poor on here. 


The community is nice, but how am I supposed to see answers? It shows "Answers 2", for example, but you click in it, and noting happens. Irritating 


Thanks,
