Delete all schedules

Dear customer,


We checked your smart schedules and the smart watering is once a week. This is about right. You think it's too many because Netro waters your zone multiple times a day. Your 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 still want to delete and start all over, please write to support@netrohome and I will have our R&D look into it.


Thanks,

Hi Gaspar,


If you want to run your program on a certain day, you can create a one-time program through Settings->Programs->One time run, and then select "Run a cycle now" at the bottom of the page.


Thanks,

Hi Julie,

 

Water daily seems too much, Is your plant agave shrub? If so, we suggest set the plant type as "Shrub". The ideal moisture level (low/high) for shrub is 50% and 80%.

 

Thanks,

Hi Paolo,


In the weekly chart the temperature is different, this could be the reason that it shows the average temperature in a day in the weekly chart.

Dear customer,


We found you have a program for 11 zones to water every day. If you want to water 1-3 and 7-8 every other day, you can deselect the 5 zones in your current program and set a new program for zone 1-3 and 7-8 to water every other day. Please let us know if it works.


Thanks,

Dear Michael,


In fact, the Pixie timer does not support Google Home. The reason is that the Pixie timer is mostly in sleep mode and Google Home only support immediate action. However, we are working on a new model using Zigbee which will support Google Home. It will be available probably next year.


If there is a marketing material saying Pixie timer supports Google Home, that is a mistake. Please let me know and we will correct it.

What happens to the last schedule if device is offline?

Deear customer,


For the last schedule, if there is power outage when Netro is watering, it will shut off valves immediately. If there is no wifi when Netro is watering, Netro will still finish all watering schedules as long as there is power.


Thanks,

One zone not working

Updated at 2021-08-06 04:58:38 UTC

Dear customer,


Please check the wires. Are they loose or disconnected from the slots? Please also check the common wires and the master valve if you have one. If you believe the wires are correctly installed,  please check if there is a main valve/faucet that is turned off manually. 


To test if the controller is working properly, use a multimeter (AC voltage mode) to test the voltage between the common wire and the zone wire when the zone is active. Normally the voltage should be between 24V and 28V.

You might also want to check whether there are shorted zones or open zones. You just need to use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the common wire and each zone (remove the wires from the slots before testing the resistance). The normal reading would be 20-60 Ohms. If the reading is less than 10 Ohms then you might have a shorted circuit in the solenoid and if it is larger than 80 Ohms you might have an open circuit. 


Please let us know if it works.


Thanks,

Netro Support

Hi Brian,


There are smart watering schedules in the early morning for your zone 1 and zone 4 on August 3 so the next watering for your zone 1 and zone 4 is for smart watering but not the program. If you check your program, your program remains unchanged.


Thanks,
