I have a smart zone comprising rotor heads.  As I understand, rotor heads need to be run for longer times than other types of heads because they are only delivering water to one direction at a time (the current direction of the stream of water from the rotor).  Further, the amount of water delivered in a given time depends on how large of an arc the rotor passes through.  For example, if the rotor sweeps through only 180 degrees for 10 minutes, that ground gets 2x the water per unit area than if it runs through 360 degrees for the same 10 min.

So, it seems that, since the choice of rotor head does not include information about the arc it will travel through, there is no way for the smart watering algorithm to know how much water is being delivered per unit area, i.e. a zone with rotors going all 360 degrees is likely under-watering.

I believe this is happening on my lawn, and i would like to make a change in order to increase the time of watering for this zone.

What dials do I have at my disposal to make the smart watering algorithm water this zone for a longer period of time?

Hallo,

In der app sollte es möglich sein den richtigen niederschlag auch auf 0mm stellen zu können.

Zurzeit ist nur 1 mm möglich

Is it possible to create a program that ignores the data from the whisper sensors? When its above 90, I like to run a 3 minute session on all zones to cool the blades off, but if the moisture is too high it skips those zones. I'm fine with my other programs skipping since they're more about the soil. 

How can I get the app to generate a new watering schedule

Can I tell the smart watering app that it does not appear enough water is being applied to certain zones?

Hello,

My Netro Sprite Is linked with the Google assistant and Google home app. I can see Netro in both apps but for some reason Google doesn’t accept any voice command or type commands. I tried many times resetting and reinstalling apps still doesn’t work,please help

I recreantly purchased the netro controller and several times it has gone offline with having to unplug and restart. This seems to only work for a day and then goes offline again. I have rebooted my rooter which is on the same floor as the netro. Any help would be great.

Biggest pos cant turn on the timer just to water then goes to sleep cant even connect when away never been able use this junk box

So Dissatisfied

Hi, I need to use Only my programs but I cant turn off Smart control. So the app starts to water even When I dont want to. 

I am still trying to figure out the rain prediction algorithm. 

I had 1 set of zones schedule to eater at 5 am on the 17th.

This was overridden by the program anticipating rain at 3am on the 18th (according to forcast). Why does it look so far ahead? Does it take into account the current moisture reading? There is an 85° full sun day between these events.

I am trying to add a Manager and the system will not accept the email address I am entering. When I tried entering just a user name it populated an unknown email address. I deleted this. 

Then when I tried exiting the screen I received the Network Error 2507

Hello

The system is stuck many times on watering, without showing a line below that is being watered. And so i have to restart it from the plug...

Any ideas? Can i restart from the mobile instead of plug?

Just bought a home that has Netro however each time the sprinklers turn on they are pointing in different directions then we had them originally set. We end up watering cars and the street more than the lawn. Any suggestions? 

Why does the Spark controller schedule watering zones so erratically?  I have 7 zones and if it decides that all 7 zones need to be watered on the same day, why wouldn’t it just water in order 1-7.  Instead it might water 1,2,4,7,3,5,6,7?.  Or it might water zone 1-2 on one day, 4,5,6,3 the next day, and then 7,7 the next day.  

In the Netro app underwatering adjustment, what percentage setting is recommended under ‘moisture to skip watering’ and ‘moisture to add water’. I have a clay loam soil and we are having warm weather.

My irrigation system runs off of a pump.  If I enable smart watering, will zones automatically enabled for a certain day run sequentially such that the pump will be turned on at the beginning of the daily cycle and off at the end of the cycle?  I don't want the pump cycling on and off multiple times during the day.

Best I can tell from the cursory technical specs is that for the Sprite the backup for a custom (not smart) watering schedule is in the cloud and for the Spark the backup is stored on-device in nonvolatile memory.  Is this correct?

I irrigation zones attaches to the same sensor. 

I do not understand why the smart schedule do not schedules the same amount of time, and dates for the 2 zones.

Hello, 

My Netro has been watering despite heavy rains. The home page shows the soil is 100% saturated. Also, when I try to manually run the system, none of the zones will come on. I’ve tried the reset button and I’ve tried unplugging the system but it still won’t work. 

Any ideas?

I have one Whisperer up and running just fine. Based on this I purchased a second. The second produced readings that were inconsistent when the device was placed next to the first Whisperer (read about half on moisture when compared to the first). So, I sent it back to Amazon for a replacement. The replacement arrived and it also appears problematic. The light reading is normal, but the temperature is 486 degrees F and the moisture is 1 percent. The device is stuck at these aberrant readings and they are obviously problematic. I've tried deleting the device and reinstalling several times. The result is the same.

Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
