Hi I bought and installed a Netro Sprite6 watering controller about a year ago. Would really appreciate having notifications enabled for all watering activities. I had a good look through the app features and can’t find anyway to enable it. Could someone help please?

Could you please ask Support to reply to my emails? The subject line of them is,"Whisperer 2 bad solar panel"

Is there a version of the app that runs on a Windows PC or a Raspberry Pi?

I run all my home automation on a dedicated Raspberry Pi so it would be nice to keep everything in one place.

Is there a way to give info to the app to dial in the soil moisture level?   I would like to measure soil moisture and input the info to my controller and the controller should adjust watering schedule. How about reminding user to check moisture level once in a while and input the info. Is this a thing? 

Thanks!

One, and only one ,of my 4 Pixies occasionally sticks in open mode, not closing the valve, watering until I notice it. It won’t shut down from button and I have to turn it off or remove battery to get it to reset. It works for a few days and happens again. It has been working well for about 6 months. Any ideas how to fix this?

How do I change the wifi network my Netro controller is connected too? I cannot proceed beyond step 2 from the instructions on the app. I get the message "Please connect to Wi-fi network "Netro_IRC_xxx."  However, the app shows that I am already connected!!

Good morning, I installed a Sprite 6 controller, it works perfectly, but I have three questions: 1. How do I change the irrigation percentage without changing the watering minutes for all the zones each time? 2. When rain or wind is forecast, does the irrigation program still skip even if the smart function is not enabled? 3. When I start a zone in manual mode, for example to control the sprinklers, is it normal for there to be a long delay between pressing the Stop button and the actual interruption? Thanks.

Someone can help me?I need change the day for one program exists...what is the procedure? Thak you

Can I use the Netro Spark 16 if I use the Rainbird ESP Me? I have 15 active zones.

My system is connected to a 500 liter tank. If I turn on both zones, it empties in 13 minutes.

In the application there is no possibility to program the maximum irrigation time for each individual area. I want you to work at most 13 minutes!

Buongiorno,

ho riscontrato un problema con la centralina Netro Sprite-6.
Il dispositivo risulta online e sembra funzionare regolarmente, tuttavia non attiva nessuna uscita: né la master né le due zone configurate. Ho provato ad attivare manualmente tutte le zone, ma senza successo.

Ho effettuato alcune verifiche:

• la tensione in uscita è sempre di circa 11 V AC su tutte le uscite;

• la centralina è stata utilizzata pochissimo, solo con le zone master e 1–2;

• non sono presenti segni visibili di bruciatura o danni hardware.

Da quanto riscontrato, sembrerebbe un problema software, poiché l’hardware appare in buone condizioni.

Resto in attesa di un vostro gentile riscontro e supporto.

Grazie per l’attenzione.

Cordiali saluti,
Giuseppe Sciurba

I've had a Netro Spark 8 working without any problems since last year, but a few days ago it disconnected from the Wi-Fi and stopped working. I tried the reset button as indicated in the instructions, but there's no way to reconnect it. What else can I do? Thank you very much

Hi, I have a Sprite 12 zones and a Whisperer 2 sensor added to the Netro app. However I cannot find any way to setup the sensor so that it inhibits watering if the measured humidity is higher than some value. The sensor is sending correct reading to the app but now it has been raining for few days and the Sprite keeps watering.

I would like to disable watering based on the sensor only and not on the weather forecast.

If in the app I select the Sprite, then go to settings>zones and select one zone i see the setting Sensor as "Not connected" but there is no way to connect a sensor. If i select the sensor and go to settings>sensor I see all the settings to change name, light color data send interval, but nothing about rain.

Can someone please help me? Thank you!

Hi.

I have a lawn that is irrigated by two solenoid valves, Zone 1 and Zone 2. Each zone controls 3 sprinklers, and there are overlapping areas between the sprinklers from both zones. I would like to configure the system so that when Zone 1 runs, Zone 2 also runs at the same time, and when Zone 1 is off, Zone 2 is also off. In other words, both zones should operate simultaneously to avoid certain areas always receiving extra water. Is there a way to set this up with the controller?

Hi,

Is there any interoperability/integration existing or planned with home automation/smart home platforms?

Integration with Homey Pro would be great, being able to fetch the watering status for each zone, start a manual watering, or send some external triggers (humidity, rain water tank level, etc.) 

Thank you !

I have two Whisperers that I move around to various parts of my graden to get comparative readings of sunlight and soil moisture.  I really do not know how to interpret the moisture readings which generally range from 50% to 98% but can be as low as 30%.  Soil type varies from a clayey loam to heavy clay.   How do I know when watering is required?  Does the meter measure the capillary water?  The adhered water?  The percentage of voids filled with water?  How does Netro calculate the percentage of water and what do the readings mean?

I have some scheduled zones using programs and I'm seeing that the zones later in the program are being cancelled and not completing the scheduled program. What is causing the schedule to be overridden? It's a problem because those zones that are being skipped are not being watered at all. 

We are using your API example, where ABCDEFG is the device key.
Using this example, we're getting the following error returned: {"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","tid":"1737627330_uXNP","version":"1.0","token_limit":2000,"token_remaining":1993,"last_active":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","token_reset":"2025-01-24T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":4,"message":"Invalid sensor","params":{}}]}, 

It is the same when we use the actual device keys for our Sprite and Whisperers 2.

Could you please help understanding why we're getting the error number 4 "invalid sensor"?

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Netro Spark 8 controller. It connects correctly to Wi-Fi and appears online in the app, but when I try to start irrigation manually, the app just stays on "in communication" and nothing happens.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

- Restarting both the app and the device  
- Using a different Wi-Fi network, including a mobile hotspot  

Despite these attempts, the problem persists. I also tested the solenoids with a multimeter, and they’re working correctly. If I activate the valves directly from the controller, they respond as expected—so it’s clearly not a hardware issue.

I should also mention that I previously had the same problem with two Sprite6 controllers. That’s why I switched to the Spark 8, hoping it would solve the issue. Unfortunately, it hasn’t.

To make matters worse, scheduled programs aren’t working either.

This is an urgent situation because my plants are currently without water. I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this.

Thanks in advance,  
Stefano
