Changing WiFi Network post original installation

Hi- been using your sprinkler controller for several years and have recently added a new WiFi network. 


I'm following the instructions how to switch the Netro controller to a new WiFi network. After resetting the controller, it change my iphone WiFi network over to Netro-XXX (which tells me I have no internet access). 

When I return to the Netro app and click 'Next', it just keeps instructing me to connect to Netro-XXX first. 


The Netro controller continues to blink despite unplugging it so stuck in limbo now. 


Thank you

Longer watering per zone

Ruud
Updated at 2026-05-16 21:17:27 UTC 

I have a Netro Sprite (6 zones).


I would like to water one time a week, 4 hours per zone in one run. I am not able to make programmes and single runs longer than 60 minutes. 


Am I doing something wrong, or is this not supported?


Thanks for helping me out.

Todos los sensores que he adquirido al cabo de dos años dejan de cargarse por el panel solar y son inservibles


Conectados por usb a una fuente de alimentación son capaz de emparejarse pero al desconectarse dejan de funcionar 


Enchufados a la corriente la luz única un bucle de rojo de menos a más parpadeo amarillo y parpadeo verde. Los puedo dejar cargando por usb 12 horas pero al desconectarlo se mueren


Alguna solución ?

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

aut watering triggered when Wisperer is out of power

Eric Jonsson
Updated at 2026-01-08 12:02:58 UTC 

Hello,

I have 2 Whisperer for automatic regularion of my watering.

They work normally work perfekt but when the bad weather prevents charging for o longer period they go to sleep/closes down.

Then my Netro thinks the soil is dry 0% humidity and aut starts my watering eventhough the soil is 90%.

I have ti disable the Netro to stop watering until the Whispering is charged.

Since I do not get any warning that the Wispering power is too low the aut watering can go on and on wasting my water and flooding my garden!

Seeding my lawn this week... How do I adjust the "New Plant" option for consistent watering?

Updated at 2025-10-20 22:59:45 UTC 

Hi... since it's still fairly warm outside, I'd like to have the Zone water every 2 hrs for about 3 minutes just to keep the ground moisture up.

I'm not clear on how to do this?  Anyone?

I have a hill that was terraced and replanted. I was told to run the circuit twice a day for 15 minutes for a month. Drip lines. Seems like my system doesn’t have that flexibility. Am i correct?

API broken?

Tortfeaser
Updated at 2025-11-21 04:58:13 UTC 
Hi, I can get my Netro controller info using:

curl -v https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/info.json?key=MYAPIKEY

(where MYAPIKEY is a key from the user account page)

but when I try to update soil moisture data with:

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"key":"MYAPIKEY","moisture":100}' "https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/set_moisture.json"

I get an error about an invalid key:

{"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","tid":"1763700896_KpmY","version":"2.0","token_limit":0,"token_remaining":0,"last_active":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","token_reset":"2025-11-22T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":1,"message":"Invalid key: ","params":{}}]}

What's going on?

The average temperature for a day is insufficient to calculate correct watering.

Richard
Updated at 2025-12-17 07:17:57 UTC 
When I have Whisperers, the system appears to calculate the average over the day about 4 degrees higher than for zones without Whisperers.

It seems that, even though the weather data is available throughout the day, that zones without sensors only use the forecast high and low.


This is insufficient to correctly adjust for the amount of watering required.


For example, today is 7 degrees C up to 36.

Whisperer zones average the temp at 26C while non-Whisperer zone calculate the average at 22C.


On these extremely hot days, the non-whisperer zones are under-watering much more than the Whisperer zones.


Also note that even the zones with Whisperers always under-water and needs custom programs or manual intervention.


This finally explains to me why zones are always under-watered.


Can the system please use multiple day readings for non-Whisperer zones and PLEASE provide more watering?

Skip watering based on soil moisture (Pixie + Whisperer)

Updated at 2026-02-02 17:04:38 UTC 
Hello! I would like to set up my system to skip watering if soil moisture reads above a certain threshold. I have the Whisperer and the Pixie, so would like the Whisperer to communicate with the Pixie, so the Pixie skips watering if soil moisture is high enough. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Wind preference for drippers

Troy Robertson
Updated at 2025-10-17 06:46:57 UTC 

Hey,

Is it possible to individually choose preferences for wind speed on a zone by zone basis? I've got some zones that are connected to sprayers which I would like to keep on a wind speed cutout and but most zones are on drippers which I would like to water independent of the wind speed.
