Hi

I have been using this Netro Pixie for one and half month. It is actually my second Pixie. The first one arrived broken as the valve was not opening properly for watering, I could hear a "hiisss" sound like air spraying.

The second pixie arrived and I have used it for one and half month, very reliable and I love the fact that it has the photovoltaic cell.

Yet, yesterday I uninstalled it as I do not need it anymore till next spring and... in spite of opening the valve and turning it upside down to empty it, I could still hear noice of water inside the device. I opened the battery compartment and... there was water inside... lots of water... actually as soon as I turned it upside down and shaken it, it went for a reboot.

How is it possible that there was water inside??? I have been using watering timers for fifteen years from brands like Gardenia and never ever had this issue. Isn't it supposed to be a sealed device?

I am sure it won't work next spring...

Anybody else has had this issue?

Thanks

I do not know if it happened before, I noticed it today with yesterday's irrigations.

The report from the Netro app (iOS) says that 2 of the 5 planned waterings failed (BTW, why , for which technical reason ?)

The report from the web interface says that 3 of the 5 planned waterings failed (BTW , why, same question above)

I set up a IFTTT applet to receive a notification after every successful watering and according to that 5 to 5 waterings were OK.

I do not post screenshots from IFTT as they are 5, but of course they are available for digging if anybody from netro needs them.

Please help me:

1.  what should I trust ?
2. based on which  result (app or web) did the scheduler react for today's waterings ? I suppose on web, because I got today exactly the three waterings that "failed" yesterday according to web report.

Thank you.

I have recently found that my Netro APP locks-up waiting for my Pixie to respond while trying to set the schedule or even just entering the home screen.

It is locked-up at the moment (29/08/22 09:39).

I have deleted the APP and relaunched it but still get the problem.

I am running 15.6.1 on my iPhone SE and iPad.

Please advise.

How can I set up watering schedule manually, I mean I decided how many minutes daily each zone I want to water?

What soil category is closet to chalk in the settings 

Many thanks in advance

How can I get station id 

KMTJOLIE28

Added to my controller 

Is there a published list online of Wunderground station IDs supported by Netro? Specifically, I'm looking for Hawk Ridge - KCOCOLOR1090

Thanks!

I bought a Netro Spark to replace an existing controller (a Raspberry pi based Open Sprinkler system) which exploded probably due to a shorted solenoid.

I read that the Spark can detect solenoids that are drawing too much current; is it safe to connect the Spark to shorted solenoids without worrying about damage to the controller?

Should I test all the solenoids with an amp meter first just to make sure?

I touch the “done with zone” by mistake now I can’t figure out how to add the rest. 

I have a netro sprite.  I live in Dallas.  My lawn as drought tolerant bermuda grass.  The grass can easily get by with 10 minutes of watering once a week.  When I look at the logs I see that the sprite is watering the each zone 5 to 15 minutes a day.  I enabled water regulations which  restricted water to Wednesday and Saturday.  Even with this change, the schedule still says 14 to 18 minutes of watering for each zone on the watering days.  I do not have a whisperer

My settings :

grass type:: warm season grass

soil type: clay

sprinkler type: rotor head

shade: none or some shade

smart zone: enabled (Level=advance, mode=eco)

area = 1000 sq ft (I tried reducing this value but then the estimates under "smart zone" go to zero)

Can someone tell me what the clock time zone is. 

Does not recognize my station (KARFAYET95) as a valid station. Please help. 

Can the pixie faucet timer measure flow rate or amount of water dispensed?

I want to give my dahlias 50 gallons every other day. How do I program that?

How do you do a total reset?

Can’t change programs or add new ones .

Seamed to be stuck ?

Hi there

Just a comment on the wishperee. They are too weak and easy to break, the sensor part that goes into the ground 

My kids just broke a couple playing soccer in the garden. It would be good if you develop one that can be fully placed in the ground and the only visible part is the solar panel

Wency,

Can you add KTXHUMBL256 to Wunderground for me in Houston so my Netro can run off my weather station in my backyard.

Thanks,

John Kollehner

Why is there a 30 minute gap between these 2 auto entries from smart schedule 

I set the smart schedule to go on at 50%. The app says if it goes below low, it will water till it gets to high

It’s set to a low of 50 and you can clearly see it let it get below low which it said it wouldn’t

I have added rain delay by mistake. Now I want to remove it but I do not see it settings >> restrictions but next watering schedule is after 10 days, Please suggest how to change it.
