Netro Spark 16: Issue with sprinklers not firing, then not turning off

Updated at 2021-12-16 01:35:31 UTC 

Howdy!

I recently purchased a Spark 16 and have wired it in to a current srinkler system which was working fine with an old Toro controller. 


The Spark is acting very unusual, compred to the old system. As per the instruction booklet, I wired 8 wires in Zone 1-8 for the 8 sprinkler zones which are being used. I then wired the 24VAC and Common wires (x3)  in without an issue.


At first, both manual, smart and program modes worked with no issue.


I then tried to run a manual start with each zone runnig for 1 minute as a test. The app seemed to not be able to turn off the manual program if I hit the stop button in the app.


The unit was acting like there was no issue (valve test and server test on the app all looked fine), but if a program was due to run, the unit woudl display that a zone was active/watering, when it clearly was not watering or active.


I then did a full reset and install of the unit, and am still having the same issue.


The sprinkler wiring has 3 common wires - if I wire them all into the left hand side C wire port on the Aprk, it seems to struggle with turning on any zones at all, but intermitterntly. If I wire two of them into the left hand side C port, and one of them into the right hand side C port, the spark cant seem to turn off the sprinklers after they have turned on.


Help! It seems to be a common wire issue, and the app/unit also seems to be buggy.

I reset my Whisperer sensor by following the reset instructions and on restart it flashed white. I added the sensor via the app but it didn’t produce a WiFi signal and I couldn’t connect to it in Settings on my iPhone. After a while it flashes dark blue. 

What is happening and how can I fix it?

Merry Xmas everyone


I am trying to set up a recurring program that all my zones are watered for 15 minutes each every second day as there is currently a summer heat wave in New Zealand. However when I set the program up it does not show n the schedule. Is there a special trick to saving manual recurring programs??

2 programs scheduled on one day

Hi


I added an afternoon program after the morning one had run to run daily as very hot over next few days. After setting it up I went into schedule to make sure it was there and all that appears on the day is the morning schedule with a yellow triangle with exclamation mark instead of the usual tick to say it was done. I did see it running the morning schedule.


Why doesn't the afternoon schedule show up as well as the morning one?

Master valve issue.

Danny L
Updated at 2021-12-29 04:13:11 UTC 
Hi. 
My systems master valve is turning of 2.5 min into a watering session. 
The zone timer keeps counting down but the master valve turns of early and won’t restart. 

This is happening to all zones

If I shut down the app and restart, it works for the 2.5 min and shuts down again. 

I was wondering if there had been a software update ?

Thanks.

No wifi connection

Just got the Sprite 6 controller and it won't connect to Wi-Fi. I have a mesh wi-fi system and the controller has full bars but it just refuses to connect. I reset it a couple times , I  unplugged and plugged it back in , I tried deleting the app and doing it again and still no luck. I just keep getting an error saying ''Action control parameter missing or value is empty'' no clue what that means. Can anyone give me some advice on what else I can possibly do to make this work.. Thank you.

Netro is watering at 25F because it is misinterpreted weather

Ben Aggus
Updated at 2022-01-11 12:15:06 UTC 
I had to cancel watering because it’s 25F this morning. It’s because the weather is misinterpreted. The forecast today is 58/34, but that means it will be 34 for tonight’s low. Last night’s low was 25 and the Netro should look at that number for watering this morning.
