Just renabled netro after winter.  I see that the app thinks it has rained over the last few days, but there hasn't been any rain.i have darksky as the provider.  Is darksky still working?

Thanks

Vardhan

Purchased in Nov of 2020 and stored until recently in basement.  When I went to put it for the season the battery was dead.  I understand it needs to be charged which I did for two days.  When I turn it on, I get solid white, then green and then red.  I also noticed it’s missing from my sensor list in the app. Like it has been deleted.   If I click edit button. Nothing happens.  Can you please help?  Thank you. 

Why does my sprinklers keep watering after the timer has expired.

Hello everyone ,

During the last hour or so my netro spark has been doing these inexplicable Manual runs. They start and stop on their own without any manual input . Any ideas ?

Hi,

I am seeing 20%+ increases in soil moisture when there is no rain and I am not watering and also 20%+ reductions in moisture directly after watering which seems counterintuitive. Is this normal? Can anyone explain what is going on to me? Thank you!

hello,

I installed my nero sprite-12 2 months ago. Today , finally, I connected my 6 valves and the C cable to the Nero. Then, I tried to watering the first one (doing play bottom) but the valve does not work. I put 24v int he valve directl and it started watering. Then, I check with a multimeter the output for the valve in the nero controller and It was 0v.

Then, I delet the controller in the app and tried to reset the Nero sprit but I doesnt do anything. I hold the rst button during 8 or more second  several times but the led stills keep lighting and no wifi radiated to connect. 

¿How Can I solve this issue?   

APP version 2.5.3

Product: Sprite

I am using a master valve upstream of my branch line solenoids. It seems that the master and downstream solenoids shut off simultaneously, or, perhaps, the downstream solenoid shuts off first. This means that when the system is off there is high pressure between the master valve and the solenoids.

This isn't ideal for the case where the user has high water pressure, and (in Australia) when using 19mm poly pipe it can result in slow dripping leaks until the pressure releases. This pressure isn't present when the downstream solenoids are operating. 

Additionally, I notice a hammering sound when the system starts up. I wonder if this is from two valves opening almost simultaneously?

Can I ask/suggest, if a better method of solenoid timing is:

For start of run: downstream solenoid 'on', wait 1 second, master valve 'on'

For change of zones: downstream solenoid of current zone 'off', wait 1 second, downstream solenoid of new zone 'on'

For end of run: master valve 'off', wait 1 second, downstream solenoid 'off'

Would that seem practical? I'm thinking of how to reduce stress on the components in the system.

It's a great product, by the way!

Hello,

I could not register in the app with my normal email address as it seems is too long... 

I did not have this problem in any other app or service.

Could you review please? 

Netro app worked fine for 4 months. Then zone 3 stopped watering, but netro is showing zone 3 as watering.  How do I fix this? Thanks!

Hello, wondering why my watering controller kept going offline.  Once turning it off/on, it will goes online again but will go off in several hours later.  Is it time for me to get a new controller?  I hope not

Hi, 

My solar powered controller doesn’t charge its battery - not sure if it’s a battery problem - the controller is under direct sunlight for at least 6 hours every day.

I’ve set it to water for 1 hour every day so it’s a simple On/Off once a day.

Have other people had this issue?

Hello,

I have a 6 zone Netro sprite and need to update my wifi settings. No matter what I do I'm unable to get the Netro to enter host mode. I've tried hitting the RST button numerous times before or after manual reboots (even waiting the full 3+ minutes after re-plugging the device in). I even tried a full manual reset by holding the RST button for 10 seconds and the device still doesn't reset. I'm starting to doubt whether the reset button on my device works.

Has any one had any similar problems or pointers for just getting the Netro to join a new WiFi network? I'd rather not do a full reset and lose my zone settings, but at this point I've even tried that and can't get that working.

En la APP todo parece ir bien, pero no riega.

I have noticed in the past two days that timer is offline. Checked and hit button on timer and no activity even after 3 second hold. Brought battery in to charge via USB cable until LED on battery was green. Reinserted battery into timer, LED on timer blinked red once and now will no respond to anything I do. Battery obviously not holding a charge. Any answers?

I noticed system was going to water this afternoon so I skied the watering on the calendar hours before. 

When the time came the system still watered my yard?

Why?

And I could not find a single way to stop it.

Has anyone had an issue with their Sprite being inoperable shortly after the warranty ended?  I tested the power prongs with a voltmeter and the controller is getting electricity, but no lights are on.   It's 105 deg in Austin and no rain in sight.  I'm going out of town for 5 days, so I'm in trouble.  I'm going to have to go to Home Depot to get something off the shelf installed today before my trip.

Anyone with the same problem?  Has anyone been successful with a claim outside of the warranty period?

Update:  The Sprite went offline at the same time the LED light stopped working.  The watering schedule resumed two days later and the LED was still off.  Meaning - Sprite works fine, LED doesn't work.  Netro told me to send the unit in over the winter and they will repair the LED.  Awesome - thanks Netro!

All the best,

-Doug

whem my Netro is disconnected from wifi , all stsyem is out of service !!  THIS IS A BIG BUG !  

Is possible set a automatic program when the connection is down ?

i installed the Pixie last Monday, Tuesday it worked fine for the programmed 10 min sprinklers, but this morning it marked as finished but kept on watering. I tried the manual shut off and on and discovered i had to reduce the water pressure for it to work. At full pressure i hear the noise that the valve is trying to close, but it fails. The light goes to green and the water keeps running... 

For now i am adressing it by reducing the water flow, but is this normal? I just have regular city water, nothing special, no special pressure...?

My Netro connected to my Wi-Fi but Whisperer will not. It just keeps blinking slowly, white LED. It also won’t connect to my Netro app that is running my watering system.
