Dear customer,


The Boost Factor feature can be used to adjust the watering amount. If you set the value to 2, the watering duration will be doubled. Conversely, if you set it to 0.5, the watering duration will be reduced by half.


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks,

Dear customer,

it seems the device's network connection may not be very stable.

Could you please try reducing the distance between the device and the router or removing any obstacles between them? It may also be helpful to bridge another router to your network.

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

Unknown irrigation zone that did not work

Dear customer,


We suggest using 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. In this way, you can determine if the valve should be checked.


Thanks,

Dear customer,

We have implemented the app notification when the device starts to water. Currently it is ready for beta testing. If you are interested in trying this feature, we will enable it internally for you. In the next app release, there will be a public on/off control for this feature.

Calibrating sprinkler output

Dear customer,


Netro may not have over-watered your zone. Netro's water usage is based on zone area and it is the estimated value that may not be accurate enough.

However, using a flow meter can help to improve the accuracy of the estimation. If your flow meter is not accurate, the data estimated by it may be biased. Nevertheless, overall, Netro is doing its best to help you optimize your watering and reduce water waste.


Thanks,

Installation 3 Wisperer and a Pixie in my garden

Updated at 2023-06-13 02:03:26 UTC

Dear customer,


One water valve can only be assigned to one sensor and cannot be connected to multiple sensors simultaneously. You can add the other sensors as standalone sensors.


If the Pixie and Whisperers are installed in different areas, they cannot work together to optimize your garden watering. This is because Pixie and Whisperers require communication with each other to intelligently manage the plants' watering needs. 

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will do our best to assist you.

Thanks,

Dear Customer 

The light is the important indicator of the unit status and cannot be disabled. 
If the LED light bothers you, you can use a dark tape on it.

Dear customer,


 The soil around the sensor should be tight, otherwise the moisture reading will be too low and it will be difficult to train the sensor to understand the soil. Please let us know if it helps.
