WEATHER CONDITIONS - Rain

Zsolt Karman
Updated at 2025-07-08 10:23:15 UTC 

Hi Team,

I've setup my controller to skip 2 days water if more than 10 mm rainfall is reported.

I have local weather station: https://www.pwsweather.com/station/pws/KADAECOWITT

Which is reported 32 mm, smart zones are enabled , but controller won't skip for 2 days.

Could you please ?

Controller SN: 0cb815314670


Regards, Zsolt

Whisperer Product Enhancement?

Kirk Davis
Updated at 2025-07-10 18:58:03 UTC 

It seems like, from my communications with the support team, that the soil moisture indicated by Netro does not factor into sprinkling times other than understanding how sprinkling time changes soil moisture (essentially guesses soil type). I have had to very expensive weather stations, and both failed to accurately report rainfall in as little as three months. With religious cleaning of them (ladder climbing-dangerous) neither accurately reported rainfall for more than six months. My first station Accurite 5-1) was replaced at three months and I gave up and bought an Ambient Weather WS2902-C, which lasted less than a year. So….


Why not have the Whisperers determine actual rainfall- or better yet- make your next product the only digital rain gauge on the planet that actually works? Or, perhaps gen 3 of the Whisperer can have a rain gauge built in. When you get multiple Whisperers  per zone, working in the software, the soil moisture readings alone could make reported rainfall irrelevant. 


Thanks,

Kirk


P.S. The support team HAS to stop using the term “soil humidity”. It makes them seem like they don’t know the difference between a fluid (water= moisture) and a gas (vapor=humidity). The Whisperer cannot calculate evaporative likelihood and doesn’t know the air pressure above the soil, so it can only measure moisture, which would, to some extent, measure the influence of water vapor on the moisture, depending on how it was being measured.

I cannot activate my PIXIE-Z1 to water, it is with brand new batteries, it says 100%, it is online and app and webpage react as all is fine and watering, but unfortunately nothing happens with the device. It works if I push twice the button on the device.


What could the issue be?

Thank you in advance

My whisperer used outdoor gave me an alert here thru the Netro app saying it has 19% battery remaining. What does it mean? Is the solar no longer working? Is there another way to recharge it or can the rechargeable battery be replaced?

Problem: Spark 8 controller stuck on “in communication” when activating valves

Stefano
Updated at 2025-07-21 21:17:23 UTC 

Hi everyone,

my Netro Spark 8 controller connects correctly to Wi-Fi and shows as online in the app. However, when I try to start irrigation manually from the app, it just stays on “in communication” and nothing happens.


I’ve already tried:


  • Using a different Wi-Fi network (even a mobile hotspot)
  • Replacing the controller with a new Spark 8
  • Restarting both the app and the device



If I activate the valves directly from the controller, they work fine — so it’s not a hardware issue.


Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

– Stefano

My whisper smart sensor is contacted to my garden plants zone at my holiday home. The smart schedule is not working.this is due to the fact that the sensor battery says it needs charging. Obviously I can’t charge it as I am not there. But I can’t seem to find a way of disconnecting the sensor from the program and on to smart schedule

Issue with Netro Spark

Fabrice GOUFFRAN
Updated at 2025-07-23 06:34:33 UTC 

Hello,


Since a few days my Netro is not receiving data from the different Whisperers connected and all of them are well connected to Wi Fi and charged. I am not able to run manual watering, only the planned ones go. It looks like there is an issue or with my Netro Spark or with the Netro Server. I am based in Italy. Please let me know. Thank you.

Spark not working – won’t start valves despite all attempts

Stefano
Updated at 2025-07-23 06:55:23 UTC 

Hi everyone,


I’ve been using a Netro Spark (8-zone model) for some time, but recently it stopped working properly.

The controller connects to Wi-Fi and appears online in the app, but when I try to start any valve (manually or via schedule), it says “communicating” and nothing happens.


Here’s what I’ve already tried:


  • Restarted the Spark multiple times
  • Performed a full reset (12 seconds on RST button)
  • Re-added the device in the app
  • Tried to trigger irrigation manually from both the app and the controller
  • Confirmed that the system works when I open the valves manually from the controller
  • Tried different power supplies
  • Connected to a mobile hotspot instead of my home Wi-Fi (same result)
  • Updated the firmware to the latest version (v3.3.0)
  • Purchased a brand new Spark controller and tested it — same exact issue



At this point, it looks like the issue is not hardware or network-related.

Could it be a firmware bug or a server-side problem?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance,

Stefano Mauri

Interpretation of soil moisture readings by Whisperer

Missy Bartell
Updated at 2025-07-26 12:13:30 UTC 
Topic: General
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?

Feature Request / Setup Assistance: Apply Rain Skip to User Programs without Smart Scheduling

Alessandro Zannini
Updated at 2026-05-01 16:47:43 UTC 

Hello Netro Support Team,

I am a user of the Netro system and I need assistance with my zone configuration.

Currently, I have a specific zone (named "Goccia") set up with a User Program (fixed days and fixed minutes). I do not want the Netro AI to change my watering duration or frequency.

However, I want the system to automatically skip my fixed program if it rains or if rain is predicted.

In my app settings for this zone, I see that "Smart Zone" is currently Disabled. My questions are:

1. If I enable "Smart Zone", will it overwrite my manual minutes and days, or will it only apply the "Rain Skip" feature to my existing User Program?

2. How can I ensure that the system follows my fixed schedule strictly, but still uses weather data to skip cycles during rain?

I want my manual program to be "Weather-aware" without becoming "AI-controlled".

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

programs - reordering

can anyone help how to reorder programs?

When edit turned on, I just cannot grab marks to the right to pull up or down. So what is that sign for (like > =)?

Mark on left at each program is to delete. That's okay.

programs - status sign

Lee Hill
Updated at 2026-05-08 06:45:32 UTC 

Developers, can you add some indication to list of programs to see which is enabled, which is not?

Instead of going into each and scroll to the very bottom to check 'enabled'.

I think of either being grayed out or adding a sign, whatever simplest may work.

thank you
