Questions

Hi there 

I have the garden zones like the diagram. And I want zone 4 a 3 run the same amount of time. Currently they use different whisperers and have different schedules what makes the grass to present in summer dry patches. I would like to force to run 3 and 4 the same amount of time.

Should I use only one whisperer attached to both zones (3 and 4)? 

programs overlaping (smart scheduler and watering adjustment)

The smart schedule overlaps with the watering adjustment program that runs when the moisture goes below a %.

Yo can see here that zone 5 run 10 minutes the program and then 37 minutes the scheduler.  It has no sense and it is a waste of water.


  1. After the watering adjustment run, the smart scheduler should recalibrate the timing based on the humidity of the land.
  2. I have the whisperers, the whisperer should monitor the humidity and stop the smart watering once it reaches 99% of humidity but it seems the program runs all the way.

This could be improved in the application.

Thanks for your support and keep up the good job

I updated the wifi password in the router. I was able to set up the password in the netro controller but not in the whisperers. I followed the steps provided by the app, pressing 6 times very fast the whisperer button.


But the whisperer wifi did not appear. I tried with 2 of the 5 whisperer I have, but process is not working

Hi the current app shows the toy water consumption but the starting month is always the current month and what it makes sense is to see you from January to December 

What is the boost factor in smart zones?

Hi there

I have read this article explains how to save water based on 

- seed type

- watering adjustement - EPA

- how tall to cut the grass

- how tall to leave the grass to growth ( deeper roots, the problem of loosing water by transpiration)


https://zulueta.com/regar-el-cesped-como-ahorrar-el-50-de-agua/


Currently the whisperer takes into consideration soil evaporation, but I do not know if transpiration is something to add to the watering algorithm

Hi today the smart schedule wateres while sensors above the 50% humid. I stopped manually. It is weird because the schedule shows to skip the zone but it watered anyway. Zone 3 and zone 4. Zone 1 is correct

May you check it?

Whisperer too weak

Hi there

Just a comment on the wishperee. They are too weak and easy to break, the sensor part that goes into the ground 

My kids just broke a couple playing soccer in the garden. It would be good if you develop one that can be fully placed in the ground and the only visible part is the solar panel

In the mobile application and in the web application I can check the history of the irrigation over a period of a year

I would like to know if you store data for more than a year and if it would be possible to export the data. For instance, last 3yr, 2yr


Thanks

Alfonso

The system has cancelled watering over the last 2 days. I see at the scheduler window. But I do not know what is the reason. 

Where can I get the logs, or info?

Thanks

Hi there none of the whisperers are sending data. 

I do not see any data of moisture, sun light, temperature etc.

I have changed to a recurrence of 1 hour to send the data.

Hi

I have checked that the irrigation modes

DEEP

EPA

REGULAR

FREQUENT


Irrigate the same amount of water, the only difference is the frequency in days and time per irrigation.

The only mode that saves water is ECO 

Or does a DEEP / EPA modes, will help me to save water compared to REGULAR or FREQUENT during a period of time ( I also have installed the whisperer) . Is the whisperer able to detect deep water?


I would like to stress the grass up to a point irrigation is needed, so swapping between DEEP and ECO to save water. But I cannot create a calendar where I could set up the watering mode per month for instance.

Any advice?

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.
