aut watering triggered when Wisperer is out of power

Eric Jonsson
Updated at 2026-01-08 12:02:58 UTC 

Hello,

I have 2 Whisperer for automatic regularion of my watering.

They work normally work perfekt but when the bad weather prevents charging for o longer period they go to sleep/closes down.

Then my Netro thinks the soil is dry 0% humidity and aut starts my watering eventhough the soil is 90%.

I have ti disable the Netro to stop watering until the Whispering is charged.

Since I do not get any warning that the Wispering power is too low the aut watering can go on and on wasting my water and flooding my garden!

The average temperature for a day is insufficient to calculate correct watering.

Richard
Updated at 2025-12-17 07:17:57 UTC 
When I have Whisperers, the system appears to calculate the average over the day about 4 degrees higher than for zones without Whisperers.

It seems that, even though the weather data is available throughout the day, that zones without sensors only use the forecast high and low.


This is insufficient to correctly adjust for the amount of watering required.


For example, today is 7 degrees C up to 36.

Whisperer zones average the temp at 26C while non-Whisperer zone calculate the average at 22C.


On these extremely hot days, the non-whisperer zones are under-watering much more than the Whisperer zones.


Also note that even the zones with Whisperers always under-water and needs custom programs or manual intervention.


This finally explains to me why zones are always under-watered.


Can the system please use multiple day readings for non-Whisperer zones and PLEASE provide more watering?

API broken?

Tortfeaser
Updated at 2025-11-21 04:58:13 UTC 
Hi, I can get my Netro controller info using:

curl -v https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/info.json?key=MYAPIKEY

(where MYAPIKEY is a key from the user account page)

but when I try to update soil moisture data with:

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"key":"MYAPIKEY","moisture":100}' "https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/set_moisture.json"

I get an error about an invalid key:

{"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","tid":"1763700896_KpmY","version":"2.0","token_limit":0,"token_remaining":0,"last_active":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","token_reset":"2025-11-22T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":1,"message":"Invalid key: ","params":{}}]}

Hi... since it's still fairly warm outside, I'd like to have the Zone water every 2 hrs for about 3 minutes just to keep the ground moisture up.

I'm not clear on how to do this?  Anyone?

Wind preference for drippers

Troy Robertson
Updated at 2025-10-17 06:46:57 UTC 

Hey,

Is it possible to individually choose preferences for wind speed on a zone by zone basis? I've got some zones that are connected to sprayers which I would like to keep on a wind speed cutout and but most zones are on drippers which I would like to water independent of the wind speed.

Total water volume restriction

Kyle Giacomini
Updated at 2025-10-08 13:12:52 UTC 
I'm curious if there is a way to restrict or cap the calculated volume of water used daily for smart watering schedules. For example, my well produces about 3500 gallons a day or close to 4.5 CCF. I have a storage tank where the water is stored. Is there any logic that can be added to the smart watering calculation or scheduling to account for a daily water volume budget?

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?

Problem: Spark 8 controller stuck on “in communication” when activating valves

Stefano
Updated at 2025-07-21 21:17:23 UTC 

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!

– Stefano
