When I Launch the program , it stop after few minutes…

I don’t know why ?

When pausing a zone for any reason during watering cycle, the zone is skipped. Is there any way to pause it then resume the watering cycle in the zone that was paused?

My whisperer used outdoor gave me an alert here thru the Netro app saying it has 19% battery remaining. What does it mean? Is the solar no longer working? Is there another way to recharge it or can the rechargeable battery be replaced?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

my Netro Spark 8 controller connects correctly to Wi-Fi and shows as online in the app. However, when I try to start irrigation manually from the app, it just stays on “in communication” and nothing happens.

I’ve already tried:

• Using a different Wi-Fi network (even a mobile hotspot)
• Replacing the controller with a new Spark 8
• Restarting both the app and the device

If I activate the valves directly from the controller, they work fine — so it’s not a hardware issue.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Can you change the order of zones in a current program without having to create a new program?

My whisper smart sensor is contacted to my garden plants zone at my holiday home. The smart schedule is not working.this is due to the fact that the sensor battery says it needs charging. Obviously I can’t charge it as I am not there. But I can’t seem to find a way of disconnecting the sensor from the program and on to smart schedule 

Hello,

Since a few days my Netro is not receiving data from the different Whisperers connected and all of them are well connected to Wi Fi and charged. I am not able to run manual watering, only the planned ones go. It looks like there is an issue or with my Netro Spark or with the Netro Server. I am based in Italy. Please let me know. Thank you.

I added the Netro whisperer 2 soil sensor to my ficus pot. The sensor gives me contradictory messages. It says that next watering should be in one week but every night it sends a notification to 'water the ficus sensor's. What should I do? 

I have two Whisperers that I move around to various parts of my graden to get comparative readings of sunlight and soil moisture.  I really do not know how to interpret the moisture readings which generally range from 50% to 98% but can be as low as 30%.  Soil type varies from a clayey loam to heavy clay.   How do I know when watering is required?  Does the meter measure the capillary water?  The adhered water?  The percentage of voids filled with water?  How does Netro calculate the percentage of water and what do the readings mean?

Not really a question but a shout-out about the changes to the app.  l found the wonderful new additions that the Netro team just made.  I suggest everyone check out the new additions.  I have tweked a couple of my zones and Very pleased.  Suggest everyone check it out!

This is a great product with a great application as well. Thanks to the team and the developers for working hard to make this right. This is fantastic!

Smart watering disables my program as it thinks its going to rain, how do I override it - if the weather forecast doesnt pan out or we dont get enuf rain

How is the subsoil moisture determined on the Netro App for each zone?

The app has a number of soil choices- I don’t know which to choose. I assume different soil has different water retention. Is there a list which shows how much water the different soil types require?  Or is there a way to tell which soil you have?

I have a system working in Florida and I just wanted to do the same thing in Kansas and I bought it and I have wired it but I haven't plugged it in because I don't know how I'm going to control each different location and I'm afraid something might go wrong and I won't be able to water in Florida.

So how do I control each separate location with the same phone?

i’ve had the controller installed for almost 2months now and it works fine. I like the idea that it seems to know how much to water and keep the lawn  green. However I have pets who use the backyard and would like the watering to be between 9 pm and 5 am.  I think the system can be setup for manual watering times BUT that defeats getting an expensive smart system to replace a low end rainbird system.  

Is there anyway to set up time constraints on the system and still run on automatic,

Also lack of a manual and good instruction is a pain. 

I have eight zones with smart watering enabled for all zones. I noticed this morning when looking at scheduling that a few of the zones will water multiple times in the same morning. For example, Zone one will water for 4 minutes, Zone 2, Zone 3 excetera. Then it goes back to Zone 1 for 3 minutes, and maybe zone for for 7 minutes. Is this normal?

I have inserted a screen shot.Notice the zone, "house left."

is there an option to set up and kick off a manual ad-hoc run without having to schedule it?

I have had the netro for a  week and it has yet to water the lawn. Today, it states 12 more days until the next water. I have Bermuda grass in Alabama, it is 90+ degrees daily. Seems like it will never water. It has only rained for 5 minutes the last week, but the app thinks it has rained more often.

Hi just wanted to know if I running only customs programs for watering I can take advantage of the Smart Watering feature. In other words, I only have my own watering program, NO smart programs, and need to know if the controller will skip these programs when raining. If NOT will the sensor allow provide that feature?

Thx - Mike
