Customized moisture level not triggering watering

I have a Sprite with 3 Whisperers, all in the veggie patch.


I have the zones set to customize with a low of 25% and a high of 45% (I find 30 - 35 % moisture about right)


But the zones just won't get watered!


Zone 1 is down to 6% today and has been dropping steadily for days.

I HAVE to manually water, as the day time temperatures are consistently over 30 degrees (today 33, tomorrow 37).

Otherwise the plants will die.


Given there are only two values to enter (low and high). How do I stop the Netro from skipping days and putting the zones in the "Moisture" category??

Dear customer, 


There are two moisture values: the top soil moisture reported by the sensor, and the overall soil moisture estimated by Netro. We have a AI model to estimate the overall soil moisture. 


The smart watering uses overall moisture level. We checked the smart watering is set to customize with a low of 25% and a high of 45%, which is the overall moisture level so it does not match with 6% moisture level which is the sensor moisture level. 


You can go to Settings->Sensors->Select a sensor and tap the "Watering Adjustment" to input the value of "moisture to skip watering/ add watering". This skip watering feature use the top-soil moisture from Whisperer sensor, not the overall moisture level. 


Thanks, 

Netro Support
