Light flashing

Logo
Netro Inc
Updated at 2021-04-05 08:23:04 UTC

Dear customer,


Could you please let us know the light status? Is it blinking quickly? The Sprite unit will blink quickly whenever it is trying to (re)connect to a WiFi network. This happens when you first set up your unit, or whenever it loses its connection. If you have not changed your home WiFi, try to reboot the Sprite (unplug and replug the power) and the connection might be restored. It may also blink slowly when it is in host mode. This happens when you first plug in your Sprite or reset it, and indicates that it needs to go through the setup steps to connect to a home WiFi network.


Thanks,

Netro Support


What do the icons mean?

Updated at 2021-04-01 06:58:58 UTC

Hi Jim, 


The phone screen symbol means manual watering. 


When Sprite finishes running a watering schedule, it will send a confirmation to the cloud server. In this way, the could server knows whether the schedules are correctly executed or not. 


The exclamation mark means the cloud server did not receive the confirmation from the device. There are two possible causes: 

1. the device is not powered up when it was supposed to be powered up to run that schedule. Therefore, the corresponding zone is not watered (what is why we use the exclamation to alert users) 

2. the schedule run fine but it was during a temporary network outage or exception so that the confirmation cannot be delivered to the server. Wireless connection can be unstable for a short peroid time so it is not uncommon to have a glitch in the communication. 


If the schedules afterwards are all correctly run, it could just be a temporary network issues. But if that happens a lot please check the WiFi signal strength. If you use a WiFi extender, please make sure it is connected to the main router stably.

Hi Alfonso, 


We just checked your account and we found the smart watering is only for zone 3 and zone 4 now. Did you skip the smart watering for zone 1, 2 and 5?

Ideal Soil Moisture

Logo

Updated at 2021-03-29 05:26:28 UTC

Hi Mike,


The ideal soil moisture level depends on your plant type. For example, we recommend set moisture low as 50% and high as 80%, which means when the moisture level is higher than 80%, the next watering will be skipped.


For grass, we recommend set moisture low as 70% and high as 90%. In average, 80% for your zone is fine.

sprite subscription

Dear customer,


Subscription is another selling plan, which is different with one-time purchase. Those subscription units will have limitation on usage period. If you purchase full price and one time purchase product, there is no limitation on usage period and we will not charge any additional fee. 


If you purchase the subscription model and do not renew subscription, you won't be able to use the Netro cloud service for the Sprite any more.  Your device will also be banned later. For more details, please refer to this link below https://www.netrohome.com/shop/plans/1

Netro pixie Internet off

Logo
Netro Inc
Updated at 2021-03-15 04:56:17 UTC

Hi Andrea, 


If the Wi-Fi connection is lost, for example the router or the internet service is down, the timer will continue to execute the pre-loaded schedules for up to one month. The default setting of Netro Pixie timer's smart watering is level basic and in this level no smart schedule will be generated. If you want to set only smart watering, please go to Settings->Garden->Smart Zone and set level advanced. https://www.netrohome.com/forum/posts/111 


Please also note that Pixie is connected to the cloud service through WiFi. Because distanced WiFi connection consumes much power, Pixie will go to sleep mode to save power after 5 minutes when it is manually powered on. Every hour it will wake up to check the latest watering schedules.


Thanks, 

Netro Support
