Dear MB,


Currently, Netro can only run one zone at a time, so different zones for the same time cannot be created. 


If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Dear customer,


A hub can connect multiple Pixie-Z1 devices, but each Pixie-Z1 is independent and requires separate control for each device.

Yellow exclamation mark

Updated at 2023-10-08 00:56:33 UTC

Dear customer,


Could you please send us email to support@netrohome.com with your Netro account registered email?
We will have our technician look into this issue. 


When Netro controller finishes running a watering schedule, it will send a confirmation to the cloud server. In this way, the could server knows whether the schedules are correctly executed or not.

The exclamation mark means the cloud server did not receive the confirmation from the device. There are two possible causes:
1. the device is not powered up when it was supposed to be powered up to run that schedule. Therefore, the corresponding zone is not watered (what is why we use the exclamation to alert users)
2. the schedule run fine but it was during a temporary network outage or exception so that the confirmation cannot be delivered to the server. Wireless connection can be unstable for a short peroid time so it is not uncommon to have a glitch in the communication.
Please do a manual run test, see if there is water come out when your manual run start to water. 

Thanks

Does the "smart" behind Netro Sprite & Spark use data from Whisperer?

Wency Pan
Updated at 2023-10-07 00:46:23 UTC

Dear customer,


Yes a Whisperersensor can be assigned a zone. In this case, the Sprite can utilize the data from the Whisperer to optimize the watering schedule.

Dear customer,


You can reset the unit to start over. The RST button is located underneath cover and is next to the AC adapter wiring slots. It is marked RST. Please hold down on the reset button for 6-8 seconds and then wait for 1-2 minutes. The light on the Sprite unit should then start blinking slowly and then follow the steps on the app accordingly.


Thanks,

Dear customer,


If you turn on the smart zone feature, Netro will skip the schedules(including manual schedules from user programs) when there is a chance of significant rain(>0.2inch).

For rain expectation, it uses the amount of rainfall multiplied by the probability of the rainfall to compare with the threshold. If the result is 0.2 inches or higher, than we will cancel watering schedules. For example, if rainfall is 0.2 inches but the probability is 50%, then 0.2*.5 = .1, 0.1 is less than 0.2, so the watering will go as scheduled. But if rainfall is 0.4 inches with 50%, then the Smart Zone will cancel the watering schedule for that day.


Thanks,

Updated at 2023-09-14 02:23:11 UTC

Dear customer,


We understand that in many countries, flow rates are often measured in volume per minute, while our app requires this data in inches per hour. Therefore, we convert volume per minute into the values our app needs, taking into account the area covered by the soil and its depth affected. In future versions, we plan to include a conversion formula within the app for clarity and convenience.


Thanks
