Looking at the about screen on the app (on my phone), I click on the "Check Server Status" and I get the following message:

"MQTT(port 1883) is blocked by the router"

This device is on a separate IoT network that has full, unrestricted outbound access to the Internet. What could be causing this? 

Edit:

The app on my tablet shows:

Server Status:    OK

Response time:  0.3 s

Is something being blocked on my phone? 

Does the Netro Pixie timer work with low pressure or gravity watering systems? 

How long should it take to the senors to learn?

Hi ,

I have a grass area that a split for 2 watering zones. How can I use 1 whisperer to serve both. 

How it possible to assign sensors to multiply zone or setup the zone to follow watering pattern of another zone.

I have 2 12 zone sprites installed and bothe are working correctly.   Is there a way to combine them some how to keep from having two zones (1 per controller ) from coming on at the same time? 

Hi, 

For the moment, I have one whisperer connected to one pixie, and everything is working fine.

I have a question though, if I would add another pixie to control another watering zone, can I connect the same whisperer to that second pixie?

In other words, can I connect one whisperer to two pixies?

Thx,

JM

I am using a netro spark for a 12 zone setup. Outside of the rough UI app experience, I am continuously seeing odd behavior in my physical irrigation system. I recently had new hydroseed installed and have the netro controller setup to run at 4 different times during the day. Typically 75% of the time things work as expected, then the other 25% of the time, my app displays "loading" for a full minute before the zone is turned on and other times the zone will turn on, then immediately turn off, or only run for less then half of the scheduled time. 

This is becoming quite frustrating as I cant trust this system for what its intended to do.

Outside of this issue, I have already been able to replicate two different scenarios that I would consider to be bugs. 

Really hoping someone can assist with this because I'm tempted to switch controllers for a more confident system.

Let me add, I just turned a single zone on manually at the controller with the same results. Set controller to run a zone for 4 minutes, zone turned on, then turned off after 1minute.

Wifi at my controller is 10.2 Mbps download and 13.1Mbps upload which is more then sufficient for MQTT as well as on a channel that has very minimal collision.

I just bought a Netro Sprite based on the description and reviews on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCRZWMN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One of the main selling points for me was one of the bullet points in the description:

"Lifetime Cloud Service - Connects to WiFi(2.4G), monitors and controls your sprinkler system anywhere from iOS(8.3+), Android(5.0+) devices and Web browsers"

I tried looking up its IP address on my router, but that fails to connect. How does one access this controller using a "web browser"?

This feature is very important to me.

The Sprite is breaking the watering of my trees into a whole bunch of short bits of watering. Given the way my soil sucks down water, I'd prefer to water my trees for 4 contiguous hours of watering every two weeks, but there does not seem to be a way do specify this directly.

I buy a new whisperer every year (on my 4th year now). I also try to charge the old ones each year. I set them in the direct sun. At night I put them under a direct indoor light source. This year they have been charging for a little over 4 weeks now. This gives them enough power to run for 7-10 seconds. As the watering season where I live is only about 4.5 months, this means that every whisperer only lasts me 4.5 months. It's a pretty expensive solution at this rate. 

Is my experience common? Has anyone gotten a whisperer to work after being stored over the winter (and I do charge then fully before turning them off for the winter)?  I assume the internal rechargeable batteries just aren't that good. Has any one had any experience changing the batteries?

Hi friends, I have a doubt, how can I program my controller without the smart program? What I want is to schedule my lawn to be watered EVERY day at the same time: for example, every day at 8:00 a.m. for 15 minutes.
Thanks and best regards

Hi all, one of my whisperer is not working after the winter season. If I press the button it just blind a red light and then nothing. I have left it under plenty sun for the last 3 weeks but nothing appened... Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi

Using Netro device near Madrid, Spain

Weather forecasts not that precise.

Any suggestions how to add other sources for weather forecast are welcome.

Thanks in advance. 

I just put out some grub killer, and they want me to water it in. But when I have my system water all spots it only Waters about two or three minutes each  section.  How do I water for a certain amount of time for each section?

Hi!

I am having reconnecting to my home wifi after I changed the router.

I've followed the steps, reset thru the box and can see netro network come up. But it doesn't connect. Tried several times with unplugging the box completely but not resolved.

Appreciate your help.

How can I removed the sign in process to access the app... I don’t want to have to put in my name and password every time I open the app?

Buongiorno ogni volta che salta la corrente la centralina crede di funzionare ma gli irrigatori non partono. Per far sì che tutto riprenda a funzionare bisogna ogni volta resettare la centralina ma se qualcuno è via per molto tempo potrebbe costituire un grosso problema.
