Good afternoon,

How could I get The Netro app user’s manual?

I woukd like to understand all the concepts, parámeters and  options in the app

Thais in advance

It seems like, from my communications with the support team, that the soil moisture indicated by Netro does not factor into sprinkling times other than understanding how sprinkling time changes soil moisture (essentially guesses soil type). I have had to very expensive weather stations, and both failed to accurately report rainfall in as little as three months. With religious cleaning of them (ladder climbing-dangerous) neither accurately reported rainfall for more than six months. My first station Accurite 5-1) was replaced at three months and I gave up and bought an Ambient Weather WS2902-C, which lasted less than a year. So….

Why not have the Whisperers determine actual rainfall- or better yet- make your next product the only digital rain gauge on the planet that actually works? Or, perhaps gen 3 of the Whisperer can have a rain gauge built in. When you get multiple Whisperers  per zone, working in the software, the soil moisture readings alone could make reported rainfall irrelevant. 

Thanks,

Kirk

P.S. The support team HAS to stop using the term “soil humidity”. It makes them seem like they don’t know the difference between a fluid (water= moisture) and a gas (vapor=humidity). The Whisperer cannot calculate evaporative likelihood and doesn’t know the air pressure above the soil, so it can only measure moisture, which would, to some extent, measure the influence of water vapor on the moisture, depending on how it was being measured. 

Hi Friends, on The APP I Turn on a sector manually but when I ask APP to Turn Off, dont do!

ONLY Turn off if I unplug The system .

Can you help?

How do I reset the length of time sprinklers are on?

I cannot activate my PIXIE-Z1 to water, it is with brand new batteries, it says 100%, it is online and app and webpage react as all is fine and watering, but unfortunately nothing happens with the device. It works if I push twice the button on the device.

What could the issue be?

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Netro Spark 8 controller. It connects correctly to Wi-Fi and appears online in the app, but when I try to start irrigation manually, the app just stays on "in communication" and nothing happens.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

- Restarting both the app and the device  
- Using a different Wi-Fi network, including a mobile hotspot  

Despite these attempts, the problem persists. I also tested the solenoids with a multimeter, and they’re working correctly. If I activate the valves directly from the controller, they respond as expected—so it’s clearly not a hardware issue.

I should also mention that I previously had the same problem with two Sprite6 controllers. That’s why I switched to the Spark 8, hoping it would solve the issue. Unfortunately, it hasn’t.

To make matters worse, scheduled programs aren’t working either.

This is an urgent situation because my plants are currently without water. I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this.

Thanks in advance,  
Stefano

My system is connected to a 500 liter tank. If I turn on both zones, it empties in 13 minutes.

In the application there is no possibility to program the maximum irrigation time for each individual area. I want you to work at most 13 minutes!

Buongiorno,

ho riscontrato un problema con la centralina Netro Sprite-6.
Il dispositivo risulta online e sembra funzionare regolarmente, tuttavia non attiva nessuna uscita: né la master né le due zone configurate. Ho provato ad attivare manualmente tutte le zone, ma senza successo.

Ho effettuato alcune verifiche:

• la tensione in uscita è sempre di circa 11 V AC su tutte le uscite;

• la centralina è stata utilizzata pochissimo, solo con le zone master e 1–2;

• non sono presenti segni visibili di bruciatura o danni hardware.

Da quanto riscontrato, sembrerebbe un problema software, poiché l’hardware appare in buone condizioni.

Resto in attesa di un vostro gentile riscontro e supporto.

Grazie per l’attenzione.

Cordiali saluti,
Giuseppe Sciurba

I've had a Netro Spark 8 working without any problems since last year, but a few days ago it disconnected from the Wi-Fi and stopped working. I tried the reset button as indicated in the instructions, but there's no way to reconnect it. What else can I do? Thank you very much

Hi, I have a Sprite 12 zones and a Whisperer 2 sensor added to the Netro app. However I cannot find any way to setup the sensor so that it inhibits watering if the measured humidity is higher than some value. The sensor is sending correct reading to the app but now it has been raining for few days and the Sprite keeps watering.

I would like to disable watering based on the sensor only and not on the weather forecast.

If in the app I select the Sprite, then go to settings>zones and select one zone i see the setting Sensor as "Not connected" but there is no way to connect a sensor. If i select the sensor and go to settings>sensor I see all the settings to change name, light color data send interval, but nothing about rain.

Can someone please help me? Thank you!

Hi.

I have a lawn that is irrigated by two solenoid valves, Zone 1 and Zone 2. Each zone controls 3 sprinklers, and there are overlapping areas between the sprinklers from both zones. I would like to configure the system so that when Zone 1 runs, Zone 2 also runs at the same time, and when Zone 1 is off, Zone 2 is also off. In other words, both zones should operate simultaneously to avoid certain areas always receiving extra water. Is there a way to set this up with the controller?

Hi,

Is there any interoperability/integration existing or planned with home automation/smart home platforms?

Integration with Homey Pro would be great, being able to fetch the watering status for each zone, start a manual watering, or send some external triggers (humidity, rain water tank level, etc.) 

Thank you !

One, and only one ,of my 4 Pixies occasionally sticks in open mode, not closing the valve, watering until I notice it. It won’t shut down from button and I have to turn it off or remove battery to get it to reset. It works for a few days and happens again. It has been working well for about 6 months. Any ideas how to fix this?

Is there a way to remotely reboot a whisperer sensor?

I am on vacation adn one of the sensors is showing up weird values in all the parameters.

Why is Whisperer not showing any moisture reading at all? after working fine for days, it just stops sending moisture info

Hello, I’ve installed netro app on my iPhone, followed the procedure to connect the spark 16 and everything is fine, but when I try to activate valves with the app, the led turn white.

If I remove spark 16 from the app, the led turn green and I can only activate valves from the controller,

Any solution?

Thanks

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

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!

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
