Choice of irrigation hardware

Lyndon Whyatt
Updated at 2021-06-09 21:01:28 UTC 

Hi I have ordered a Netro spark controller and three sensors. My next step is choosing 12VAC solenoids, a drip irrigation system for beds and pots and a misting system for my propagation bench.

I am new to this and would appreciate a pointer to recommended setups and suppliers.

Do I locate valves near to the Spark and run underground hoses to my beds or am I better off running cables to valves next to the beds? What are the pros and cons?

Connect one whisperer to two pixies

Updated at 2021-05-24 14:14:03 UTC 

Hi, 

For the moment, I have one whisperer connected to one pixie, and everything is working fine.

I have a question though, if I would add another pixie to control another watering zone, can I connect the same whisperer to that second pixie?

In other words, can I connect one whisperer to two pixies?

Thx,

JM

Hello-  I have two new whisper devices. Both will not go into pairing mode.  Press power button six times and the light just blinks red on and quickly off. Press three times and same thing.  

How do I get the whisper into pairing mode?

Hi

I have recently bought  a whisper to complement my Netro watering system. It was bought from Amazon, but showed  no signs of life after following the instructions. I have left in the garden presuming it was flat. After a few day the unit is still showing a red light suggesting the battery is still not charged . Is the unit faulty?

Does the Pixle have to be installed with the water coming into it on the "Hose Faucet Connection" side?

dad@darkroom.ai
Updated at 2021-04-03 19:04:13 UTC 

Basically, is the Pixie water control valve one way, or can it shut off/turn on with pressure from either side?  In order to install it so the button faces up, I need to install it so the water comes in what is labeled as the "Outlet" side.  I don't know if it's labeled "Outlet" because it is a male connection, or because it cares about the direction of the water.  Otherwise, I will need to buy a male/male and female/female adapter, flip it "upside down" and use it with the button facing down.


Thanks.

Sensor not starting

Joan Peiro
Updated at 2021-03-06 08:53:31 UTC 

Good morning


I have received two days ago my new sensor. I am not able to start the sensor to proceed with the installation.  

When I press the power button it makes a short flash in red after releasing but does not turn to white , blink or green.  


Same effect when I press quickly  three times or six times.   It only produces a short flash in red.  I can not proceed with the installation as my app does not find the Netro wifi of the sensor as it is off.    I tried to leave the sensor under solar exposure for a full day with no change in the behavior.  Still just a short red flash after pressing the power button but nothing else.

Can you guide me how to solve the problem?

How to make Netro sensor repair

Updated at 2020-12-06 21:04:42 UTC 
My sensor doesn’t blink white led. When I presses the power button, it shows solid white for a while and then green color and red and goes off. The instructions make me confused. I tried to press the power button for 6 times. What does restart 3 times means? My sensor never goes to blinking white color.

Second house

HaccasDave
Updated at 2020-09-29 18:20:51 UTC 

I'm in the very fortunate position of having 2 homes - one in the UK and one in Spain. We've just had the garden reworked in the UK and I've been able to install an irrigation system controlled by a single Sprite controller. 


I'm very pleased with how this is working - and now want to upgrade the manual irrigation system we have in our Spanish house to a smart system. Can Netrohome / the (Android) app manage 2 different irrigation systems in 2 different locations (with 2 very different climates)?


Many thanks.

loose connection on install

Lawrence Jones
Updated at 2020-09-15 22:49:22 UTC 

The unit is working good, yeah!  The way the wires get tab/push for contact is really cheap.  The "spring" of the contact is very , very loose.

Move the wire at all and no contact.  Then trouble shooting to find where trouble is.  Not a good design. Need a much more firm grip on the bare wire. something else or just poor quality?

Installation help

Francesco G
Updated at 2020-07-31 18:47:07 UTC 

Greetings from Italy

this Monday I will receive my Netro Smart Irrigation controller and I have some concerns about the power supply.

On the YouTube video guide I saw there are 2 slots to put the power cables but I was only able to find a regular 24V power adapter with one single output.

Do I have to cut the power jack off and split the cables in order to put them in the controller?

thanks in advance for your help, can’t wait to become part of the Netro family!


this is the power adapter I ordered: Alimentatore 220 V – 24 V/1000mA https://www.amazon.it/dp/B00AWU8NUM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OBgjFbJ8Q41F1



this is the Netro device I ordered: Netro Sprinkler Smart Controller, WiFi, Meteo consapevoli, Accesso remoto, 12 Zone, w/o Adattatore di Alimentazione https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07DGT7ZK1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iCgjFbP0QZ4DH
