Hi Steve,



 If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic, which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule.(Go to Settings->Zones->Smart Zone)

Smart watering: Level basic

In this level, no smart schedule will be generated. You will need to add programs manually (go to Settings->Programs to add programs) and Netro will skip programs when there is large amount of rain(>0.2inch/ 5.08 mm) or watering regulations.

Please note when smart zone is enabled, your local regulations will automatic override your own program if there is any conflict.

Thanks

Hi Sangjin,


For your case, you could try with the "customized" mode. In which, you can set the flow rate (inch/hour) and soil moisture level to adjust watering time. Please 

send us email to support@netrohome.com and tell us which zone you would like to adjust, and the preferred watering duration and frequency.


Thanks,

Hi Carlos, 

Please following the below steps to do a reset again, see if it works:

  3. Wait for 3 minutes for the device to start up
  4. Press the reset button for less than 1 seconds to do a soft reset

Hi Tony,


Currently we do not upload the local IP address to the server and therefore there's no way to read the IP address from the app. However, you can look up the IP address by logging into the admin page of your WiFi router. 


We will consider uploading the IP address to server in the next firmware update.

How do I know how long a zone watered on its last schedule?

Netro Support
Updated at 2019-09-05 05:21:28 UTC

Hi Ron,


If you want to check you programming, you can go to Schedule page. The date on calendar with blue dot beneath is the watering date. When you choose a specific watering date in the past, there will show a list of your watering schedules, and green check mark before the schedule means this schedule is executed. 


Thanks,

System went basqerk?

Updated at 2019-08-27 08:44:20 UTC

Hi Ron,


Some schedules are skipped because of rain. If the default weather provider (DarkSky) doesn't work for you, you could try other weather source in settings->controller->weather provider. The latest version App has a new feature to support Weather Underground PWS, in which you can specify the weather station you want to use.  On the other hand, you can increase the threshold of rain amount, such that even with rain, Netro can still water your lawn. This is customized in settings->preferences->Rain. The default value is 0.2inch, you can increase it to e.g. 0.5inch.

Please let us know if you still have any question.

Netro Support

watering sequence

Updated at 2019-08-27 01:42:09 UTC

Hi Gérard,


Currently Netro system does not have a way to change the sequence of the zones. However, I think you can avoid watering zone 5 at certain time by creating a restriction. So basically you can tell the system to NOT watering a zone in a time frame. This can be done in settings->restrictions->add a restriction.

Smart watering once a week?

Logo
Netro Support
Updated at 2019-08-26 06:54:39 UTC

Hi Andrea,

Netro's algorithm is based on expert gardening knowledge, one of which is to avoid watering equally everyday and instead to water less frequently but deeply. Netro waters your garden only when the soil is dry enough in order to draw more oxygen into the roots, leading to a lusher landscape. By default, we allow the moisture level to deplete to a low level (recommended by EPA) before next watering and that is why you might see longer watering duration than the original settings on your old controller.


We found you have created your own programs. FYI, if you need more information about Netro scheduling, please refer to this article https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111

Thanks

Hi Michael,

When Sprite finishes running a watering schedule, it will send a confirmation to the cloud server. In this way, the could server knows whether the schedules are correctly executed or not.

 

The exclamation mark means the cloud server did not receive the confirmation from the device. There are two possible causes:

 

1. the device is not powered up when it was supposed to be powered up to run that schedule. Therefore, the corresponding zone is not watered (what is why we use the exclamation to alert users)

 

2. the schedule run fine but it was during a temporary network outage or exception so that the confirmation cannot be delivered to the server. Wireless connection can be unstable for a short peroid time so it is not uncommon to have a glitch in the communication.

  

Thanks,

Hi Ron,

Could you please let us know on which day your zone 4 was watered on the highest heat of the day? We found Netro watered your zone 4 around 6 pm which should not be too hot. If you prefer to water at evening, please go to Settings->Preferences->Scheduling to set your preferred watering time.
