Calibrating sprinkler output

SonDeMar
Updated at 2023-06-13 15:16:54 UTC 

Hi,

Firstly, I have a Sprite and love it! Easy to install, easy to set up and I'm really impressed with it.

I have a smart water meter so I know exactly how much water each zone uses and I can see that the Netro Sprite's estimate of water used during irrigation is about 75% of the actual usage as reported by my water meter.  This means that I am probably over watering.


Is there an easy way in the app to calibrate the expected flow rate (litres/minute) of a zone's sprinklers such that the smart algorithms deliver closer to the amount of water they think is needed?  Or put it another way, instead of calculating it needs to run a zone for say 10 minutes, they would just run for 7.5 minutes.

Pixie-Z1-H - How to install?

kernel
Updated at 2023-06-14 15:54:05 UTC 
  • I have received a new Pixie-Z1 and a hub
  • Downloaded the Netro iOS App from the UK app store
  • In the App I added the hub connecting through Bluetooth and configuring WiFi access for the hub
  • Hub shows constant green light

Now how can I add the Pixie-Z1 hose faucet to my account? The App only shows the option for the Pixie-1, which doesn't work because the Pixie-Z1 uses the Zigbee connection, not WiFi.

I bought a new phone today and am unable to water my lawn and vegetable garden because the app asks for a password, which I have forgotten.

I have tried number of times to get it to open up with a new password and the app still does not go back to normal.


Please call me on my cell phone.  209-482-0316


I would like to be able to get this to work because it is getting hot in California.  It is to be in the 90's tomorrow.

Wondering how to use the online weather forecast and be able to use that information to turn off the next day scheduled watering. 

I'm checking the rainy days manual and turn on/off the system which is cumbersome! Appreciate letting me know.

Unknown irrigation zone that did not work

Luis T
Updated at 2023-06-18 15:30:17 UTC 

Hi there,

I have an irrigation system in my garden with 7 zones. The solenoid valves and the irrigation controller are new. Irrigation was already in place when I bought the house, so I don't know where the underground pipes run.


When I open one of the zones, no sprinkler pops up. I don't know if the pipe is clogged or if the sprinklers were removed or just don't work. Digging in my garden is very difficult because the soil is very stony.


Is there any technique, trick or machine that will allow me to track the underground pipe in that area? I would like to rehabilitate it.

Thanks! 


Any comments are welcome.


Regards,

Hi,

I set the working time gap between 4 to 8 Am, cause after that i will have the robot mowing.

Most of the time the Smart schedule respects those limits, but in some days The schedule keeps watering till 10am, and restarts at 6pm.

Is there any setting I'm missing?

Buonasera,

quando avvio l'irrigazione, sia in manuale che in automatico, la centralina attiva per circa 2 secondi la zona e la pompa e poi si spegne, mentre  dal APP sembra che proceda tutto regolarmente.

Automatic shutdown when it's raining

Jay Fahar
Updated at 2023-06-26 12:06:15 UTC 

I want to be able to turn off regularly scheduled watering automatically when:

  1.  it's raining or
  2.  it is expected to rain based on the weather forecast.
The automatic shutoff watering could be done by an App or a gadget connected to the Netro mechanism. Appreciate letting me know how I could do this?

Very low humidity given by my sensor but no watering planned

Christophe Benoit
Updated at 2023-06-27 08:48:51 UTC 

Hello,

My basic issue is the one given by the title of my question but behind there is a more simple question:


1. My zone is given as 99% humidity by GET /npa/v1/moistures.json

2 This zone is linked to a Whisperer Sensor indicating a humidity level of 36% (very low)

3 The next valid schedule is within 2 days. It seems very late for an advanced/new plant mode configuration and sunny conditions in the next few days


What is the value of humidity (99% or 36%) Netro is relying on to calculate the next watering schedule ?


Further more, if I set 36% using POST /npa/v1/set_moisture.json, the next watering is in 11 hours, what inspires me more confidence


Thank you in advance for your explanations, I am a little lost

Whisperer sensor already in account error

Scott Yates
Updated at 2023-08-29 12:38:49 UTC 
I had previously installed a Whisperer sensor and then removed it from the app.  I factory reset the Whisperer 3x successfully.  When I try to re-install it again, I go through the setup process and at the end, I receive a "Sensor xxxx already in your account".  I have gone to the app and website to see if the sensor is listed but it is not.  Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be sincerely appreciated.
