Dear customer,


If you remove the wire for this zone from the controller, then start watering other stations for example station 2, does this zone still start to water? 


Thanks,

Dear customer,

By default, your Pixie turns on its WiFi module once every hour to sync up with the server. The sync-up usually takes less than one minute. For the next 59 minutes the timer will be sleeping and disconnected from the WiFi until the next sync. When the timer is sleeping, it is unaware of the schedule changes, including the manual watering.

If you have to water instantly, you can go to Settings -> Preferences-> "Keep Online" and enable the feature.

You can view more info here: https://netrohome.com/en/shop/user_guides/2


Please let us know if it helps.


Thanks,

Dear customer,


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. 


Thanks,

Wency

Dear customer,


Wifi connection is required the set up the Spark controller.


When the device is online, netro will pull and save normal schedules. When the device is offline, it will continue to execute the normal schedules that was pulled down previously. After the normal schedules are all executed, it will generate a backup program if the backup program is saved.
Please also note that when creating a backup program, the device must be online.


Thanks,

Dear customer,

The weather report may not be that accurate. If you want try other weather report, please go settings->weather provider. You can switch to other weather providers to see if it works better. You could also try weather provider: Wunderground PWS and input your station ID.

If the weather forecast changes, Netro will update and recalculate the schedule.

You can adjust the rain data through Discover page->"+" button on the upper right corner-> Correct rainfall. You could also customized the weather restrictions, like I want to skip the schedules on the day after tomorrow as well, or I want to skip if rain more than 0.1 inch. The setting is in "setting -> preferences -> rain".

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Hi Georges,


You can purchase two Pixies to simultaneously manage and control two different irrigation areas. By installing one Pixie in each area, you can set up and adjust irrigation schedules according to their respective needs.

Hi Jim,


You will need to press the button 5-6 times to reset the sensor:
1. Press the power button once to turn on the sensor. If the sensor is already on, turn it off first by pressing the power button once.
2. Turn the sensor off quickly (in 1.5 seconds) before the LED light changes its color from white 
3. Press the button to turn on the sensor. Turn the sensor off quickly (in 1.5 seconds) before the LED light changes its color from yellow 
4. Press the button again to turn on the sensor. The LED should start to blink in white color.


Thanks,
