Clicking off before scheduled time

Hi

This morning my retic was coming on the usual schedule but I noticed that it seemed to only be on for a few minutes instead of the set 30 mins.

The system said it was watering but it had turned off. I set a station manually for 10 minutes and after approx 4.5 mins it clicked off at the controller but the app said it was still running. I tried another station and it has the same issue ie it is set to run for 30 mins but clicks off after 4.5 mins but the app says it is still watering. I then waited for the next scheduled station to turn on at 8.50am and it clicked on as usual but after approx 5 mins it clicked off but app said it is still running.

I reinstalled the app and that didn't work so then did a hard reset but I still have the same problem.

I can't figure out why the controller is clicking off but the app says it is still watering.

Any ideas?

Regards

Paul

My Spark will no longer turn on any zones the app says that the zone is turned on but there is no activity. The front panel shows no zone number or time. It also won’t water from the front panel.

The app is full of useless things

MAKE IT SIMPLE AND FAST!


- not possible to run multiple valve at the same time

- app and webapp full of useless things such as the BIG clock in the schedule attached

- interface full of too many things. I dont care about smart watering. why my screen should be full of that?

- setting full of useless things.

- apps should be fast and simple, if you focus on professionals. If you focus on housewives is another story.

- example of ewelink

- not possible to run all the time you want. max 60 minutes. Edit program full of things again. 

- under zone there should be the possibility to add the schedule. why you are making an extra menu?? Zone 1 --> prog1 -->start h8.00; finish h.10:00

PROGRAMS. "NOTES" FIELD

Javier NM
Updated at 2023-11-02 07:49:07 UTC 

I am using Netro software with a Sprite-6 controller. After some moths use I am delighted with the system. The tools it provides help me a lot controlling my garden, with good results. Congratulations. Normaly I use three out of my four zones in Smart (advanced) mode, and the fourth one in Smart (Basic).

I would be useful if we could have a field (name it "Notes" or similar) so that we could enter useful information about the use of each individual program (for example, "I reduced frecuency to alternate days after Oct 15th", or other information. 

Not having that field causes useful feedback not to be available when managing programs.

Thank you.

Meaning of Pie-Chart Illustration in Sensor Graph

Mark
Updated at 2023-11-16 08:54:15 UTC 

Hi there, Ive noticed that some of the pie-slices in the moisture/temperature/lux graphs from my Whisperer Plant Sensors are heavily coloured (darker) and some are lightly coloured (lighter). Is this supposed to indicate something? 


I suspected that maybe the difference in colour reflects upload as either live (or cached), but I double checked and they all have >50% wifi connection strength and report regularly...

Smart Watering Adjustment

Tarudro
Updated at 2020-05-11 20:56:22 UTC 

Hi Guys, 


I have some questions, which answers I couldn't completely find in other posts here.


I have installed a Pixie and a whisperer on my balcony. So far it looks quite good, but it still requires some tuning. 

Unfortunately the house is not well designed which resulted in a complained from my neighbours below me about dirty water dripping onto their balcony, quite soon after I installed the new watering system (with irrigation drippers)


Seems like the Pixie is watering too much, so I went into the settings and configured the SmartWatering with Advanced and tweaked the settings such that it resulted in ~1 min watering per day.


My first question: All over the app, 1 min watering seems to be the minimum - is this correct? Is there a plan to enable even shorter cycles?

When the Pixie is watering for two minutes some of my pots are already filled up and start soaking to the neighbors. 

I think a 30 seconds cycle twice a day should even be sufficient for me. However, I couldn't find a way to get below 1 min. Neither with manual, nor with SmartZone.


So, my current solution would be two have 1 minute in the morning and 1 minute in the evening. That should work on dry days. 

However, I've not quite understood yet, when the SmartZone (if set to basic) skips the watering. It's only depending on the weather forecast, right?

When checking the Whisperer settings, I can also select watering to be skipped and added at certain thresholds. At what times are those waterings added? And at what intervals is this repeated? 

E.g. Add watering set for 50% to 1m. Does this mean it adds 1m watering for that day? once? at what time?


Actually I'd very much like to use the SmartWatering Advanced features, but it just waters too much for my small plants on the balcony. I'm not sure, how I can archive a smart watering behavior in the best way, considering that it should water quite often, but optimally less than 1m, because my neighbors don't want to have a dirty and wet balcony all the time ;-)


And yes, I could reduce the dripping amount at the sprinkers, but this also would mean that it's not spread at all and really just dripping. 


Looking forward for some tips or hints,

Kind regards & stay healthy,

Lukas

Is it possible to name zones for easier identification

Chris Graham
Updated at 2020-05-24 20:37:39 UTC 

I'm evaluating whether to by a Netro and one of the things I need is to be able to name zones rather than have a zone called say "Zone 6".

I don't see any users manual on your site to answer questions like this.

Rearranging zones?

Kurt H
Updated at 2020-05-23 19:17:20 UTC 

I do enjoy my Netro, and the app makes things pretty handy.  I do have a couple of questions.


Are there any plans to allow the software to rearrange the zones in a watering cycle (or is that already available and I am just missing it?)  Right now it seems I am stuck watering in the order I have wired the controller.  It would be nice to water one zone, let that soak in while watering another zone, then come back and water a third zone that is adjacent to the first zone.


Another question I have is - is it possible to copy a schedule so that I do not have to set each of the 5 zones for every schedule.  There are times when I would like to run a one time schedule that follows my normal dry schedule,  or follows my moister schedule.

Using measured flow rated instead of estimated

I understand that Netro estimates water usage based on time, emitter type,  and square footage,  but I  have access to actual flow rate via a Flume flow rate monitor. Is there a way to replace the flow rate estimates with actual rates for each system?

Do not water when it rains or rain is expected

Kobus Marneweck
Updated at 2020-05-19 03:33:33 UTC 
I replaced my Rainmachine with a Netro but I cannot configure it to do what the Rainmachine did. I live in Austin And can only water 1 day a week. Water is incredible expensive so I  cannot use Smarzone because my water bill will be too high. I want to run each zone for 20 min once per week and not water when rain is expected or it is raining. Netro does seem to be able to do this. Any suggestions?
