Hello - I just installed the Netro pixie and whisperer to to water our golden goddess bamboos in planters. We have a drip irrigation system and I’m not sure what to put in the “sq ft” parameter in the Netro app. We have a total of 7 planters that are all hooked to the same hose /drip irrigation hose. Each planter is 41″ x 12″ x 18″. What should I list as the sq feet? Is it just one planter or all 7?

Also - does the whisperer talk to the pixie to tell it how often it should water and automatically water as such? Is there anything I need to do to turn on that function? I live in Los Angeles and our bamboos are up on our deck where it gets extremely hot/dry. 

Thanks!

I need the Netro system to water every day in this hot, dry climate. Our lawn is turning brown. It’s used to being watered every day. The smart watering system is watering every 4 days. I have both the frequency set to high and the moisture levels set to high. I do not have sensors. What else can I adjust to get it to run every day. I’m trying to figure out how to choose everyday using the smart system. Do I just need to set manual program? That kind of defeats the purpose of having smart watering (adjusting for rain, etc.)

Thank you for any help!!

Hello,

I’m having a problem on phone app. After the lights on the house go down and then up the Netro restart before modem get signal from the provider.

If I consult the web portal it tells me the Netro is online but on the phone app(iOS and Android) it tells me it’s offline.

Any way to correct this?

Regards.

Hi, I’m using Netro for a couple of weeks and I’m happy Wilhems it.

The o ley problem is the difiltity un reading some text in the IoS App. That’s because the letters are in a gray colour over a white backgroung, and is quit haré to read it.

Any suggestion about ?

Thanks  in Advance.

Buonasera a tutti,

qualcuno sa dirmi perché tutte le volte che riavvio il mio router perdo la connessione della mia centralina Sprite?

C’è un rimedio?

Grazie 

Hi,  

I did 3 separate manual runs for zones 1, 2, 3, 7 today and my moisture percentage didn't change at all.   

Zone 1-11 minutes each run

Zone 2-11 minutes each run

Zone 3-06 minutes each run

Zone 7-06 minutes each run

So in total zones 1 and 2 ran 33 minutes each, and zones 3 and 7 ran 18 minutes each.  

Why am I still showing the same 65% moisture level that I showed before I did any of these manual runs today?  

Hey, I'm a techie and I have a question about your "smart watering". What is the feedback loop that you use?

My zones are vastly different -- some have very small spray heads, and some have very large rotors that pump out a lot of water. At first glance, I cannot see any way to (a) indicate how much water is delivered per zone or (b) indicate how moist the soil actually is.

Assuming that I have not missed anything, I have a few suggestions:

1. Provide a mechanism for indicating the water deliver rate for each zone
2. Provide a mechanism for manually imputing the actual, measured moisture of the soil
3. Provide a "hint" mechanism for each gone (e.g. "This zone is too dry" / "this zone is too wet") which would in tyrn influence the smart watering.

hi netro
I have 48 solenoid valves and I want to connect 3 valves to 1 zone of the sprite kit, each valve has a capacity of 3w. Thank you

Good morning,

I ask you if in the next software update Netro the possibility of enabling and disabling the Master Valve for each zone, I explain, I have connected an Autoclave with a special 24 volt relay to the Master Valve output, there are areas where I have a system  micro-irrigation that does not need an autoclave.  

thank you

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...?
