I ordered 2x Netro units late October, waiting delivery in Australia, I am glad to see some posts from people having had theirs delivered. Seeing the Netro go on sale heavily advertised up to the Black Friday sale, I cannot help but wonder if the rest of the world market is treated differently to the US customers.

One unit for my daughter’s November birthday and another for Christmas. Looks like an empty sock this year. 

In Australia orders are handled in the order they are received.

I have emailed support but they only respond, they are not initiating updates. They say I will soon get a tracking number but I don’t even get that. Soon it will be the holiday season so hope for a refund of my October payment.

If J could I would give my experience a one star, but the website does not have the capability of showing me what other people are experiencing.

Hi guys, 

Is it possible to integrate nestro smart sprinkler to home assistant? 

Thx!

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...

Hi new HOME ASSISTANT integration of Netro. install it using HACS.

thanks to the developer kcofoni!!

Put Sprite in "paused" mode in winter 

To put Sprite in "paused" mode in winter, you will have winterize your system. First you will have to blow out the sprinkler. You can look at this video to find some useful information.

This video mentioned that you will have to turn on the sprinkler, so you can use the instant manual run feature in the home page to manually start watering for each zone to make sure all the water is out of system.

Then you should put Sprite in "paused" mode just in case some one (for example the kids) accidentally starts a manually run from the app. To put Sprite in "paused" mode, you can go to the Home page->"Enabled". 

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.

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

Three hours to setup 

Is this any good or just return now?

Does it keep causing problems?
