Dear customer,


Netro algorithm encourages longer water time and less water frequency, which will help growth of the roots. If you want to decrease the watering amount , you can either change to different smart zone mode (ECO), or you can set up your own programs and set up your smart zone in basic level. Please check this article for more info. https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111

Dear customer,


Currently Netro can only run one zone at a time, so different zones for the same time cannot be created.

Hi Jen,

 

By default, Netro updates watering schedules within seconds, not hours and refreshing the home page should work. Please let us know if this issue happens again.

 

Thanks,

Hi Robert,


Some zones are watered multiple times a day, you probably selected clay, clay loam or loam as the soil type which accepts water slowly, often as little as 1/4 inch per hour and that is why we break the watering into many pieces to avoid water runoff.

If you think the smart schedules water too much , you can either change to different smart zone mode (ECO), or you can set up your own programs and set up your smart zone in basic level. Please check this article for more info. https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111 


If you see "next run not scheduled", you controller is in standby mode and please tap the "enable" button to enable your device in the home page. 


Thanks,

 Hi Gianluca,


If you think the smart schedules water is insufficient, you can either change to different smart zone mode (boost), or you can set up your own programs. Please check this article for more info. https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111

Rain restriction

19
Wency Pan
Updated at 2022-06-14 06:25:55 UTC

Hi Geron,


We checked the rain data on the Discover page and the rain amount is less than 0.1 inch (your threshold) so Netro did not skip the watering schedules. What happened yesterday was that the weather forecast said there was going to be a small rain but it turns out to be a big one. 

You can adjust the rain data through Discover page->"+" button on the upper right corner-> Correct rainfall. I will work with the developer to check if the weather provider has general accuracy issue in your area or it was just an exception.

Netro support three weather providers, which you can choose in settings->controller->weather provider. You can switch to other weather providers to see if it works better. Of course, all weather forecast could be wrong. Netro tries the best to provide accurate watering schedule even with incorrect forecast. First, we periodically update the weather data, once the weather data is changed, we update the un-executed schedules ASAP. Second, we re-check the weather data for the past, update our model, and adjust following schedules accordingly. For example, Netro may not water today due to large rainfall from forecast data. The next day, Netro re-check the weather data, if no rainfall found and your soil is dry enough, Netro will water accordingly.

Dear customer,

Currently the LED light on Netro Sprite cannot be turned off, which is an important device status indicator.  As a workaround,you may have a dark tape to cover it.

Hi Sid, 


If there is no light when you press the button, the sensor is completely out of battery. We suggest you continue leave the sensors under direct sunlight for several more days to charge. If the weather not good, it may takes longer time. 


If you have incandescent bulb light at home, you can also charge it under your incandescent light, make sure the light bulb is close to the solar panel. 


It takes some time for our R&D to look into the questions and check the user account. We have replied to the posted questions now. You can also directly send us email to support@netrohome.com with your Netro account registered email.

Hi Jason,


As there is expected rainfall so Netro estimated the current moisture level is not dry enough. If the weather data is not correct, you can try other weather providers in setting->weather providers. 

Could you please send us email to support@netrohome.com with your Netro account registered email?

We will have our technician look into this issue.
