If I have a zone set to Smart Watering - Basic with a schedule to come on for 30 minutes, will the smart watering adjust the duration of the watering based on the weather (say 10 minutes when it’s cool, the full 30 minutes when it is hot), or just turn it off/on based on the 5mm expected rain threshold?

I think Rachio adjusts the watering schedule with sunrise to have all zones completed as the sun is coming up. Is this something you intend to add? I think this will come in handy with the heat of summer.

Why can't I see the assumption Netro is making on the amount of rain that fell the day before? I paid Dark Sky for the time machine feature, but it's never accurate Yesterday  it rained here over an inch (rain gauge and $250 weather station agreed)  Dark Sky time machine (no, not Hot Tub time machine) reported  25 inch. At the very least I should be able to go into the app and put the actual rain that fell for the day before. Is there a way to do it, and if not, will you please add it? I would get a Whisperer, but the feedback has been rather poor on here. 

The community is nice, but how am I supposed to see answers? It shows "Answers 2", for example, but you click in it, and noting happens. Irritating 

Thanks,

It is my understanding that you could restore our ability to pull data into netro from our individual weather stations. This would require paying for the API, which you could mark up 20% and offer a paid option to netro clients. $3.99 a year, for example, would be totally worth it to get accurate information to my sprinkler controller. As I have outlined in a previous post, dark sky has proven to be wildly inaccurate. It's Miss estimates rainfall by at least 50%, on average, and is within three degrees plus or minus on high temperature only about 50% of the time.

Hello!  I just got a whisper and wanted to add it to a stand-alone zone but keep getting the following error: Error no info about this zip code in our DB. Any thoughts?  I can add it to one of my other zones?  

Thanks. 

Salve a tutti come faccio a collegare lo sprite  alla Amazon Alexa chi può dirmi come faccio grazie

Many good questions here in the community but unable to see the answers - why?

I have a company doing service on my sprinkler system, and would like to have them able to turn zones on/off to verify coverage and do repairs. Does anyone know how can that be done without me giving them my phone?

Is there a way to assign one sensor to multiple zones?

Hello, 

I am trying to connect my Hunter PVG 101 GB valves to my new Metro Sprite. 

I haven't installed a watering System before so I am quite a newbie here. 

I have managed to set my Sprite up. But my valves aren't working. 

I have double checked my wires. No issue there. As I am living in Germany I have bought my own power supply. It's this one: INNOVATE LED Trafo ECO 24 Volt/DC, 0-50W - LED Treiber - Transformator - Netzteil - Driver (24V - 50W) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01AALEYR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LgCYCb2PT86Y9

Are there any recommendations, what I could do wrong?

Thanks so much,

On the graph, is the rainfall actual rainfall that has occurred or is that rainfall that is predicted based on weather map?

Anyone know why my Sprinklers are still on even though it shows they’re not running in the app? 

I have received today the netro controller, 12 zones.

I have installed it correctly, 1 common wire and 7 zones.

It has connected to thr wifi easily, no problem. 

I can start any zone from the seven manually, but if I turn off manually, it does not turn it off...

If i start another zone then sometimes it stops the previus zone finally then start the new one..

and sometimes it just does not react anymore.. does not matter what i turn off or turn on manually, it does nothing.... 

but the device receives every command, because everytime when i turn a zone off or on, the led will blink 1-2 but nothing happens.

I checked wire, unwire and rewire again just for sure and tried the another common wire socket... then made factory reset and reconfigured it..

same issue...

it turns off zones compketely only if i unplug it from the socket, then i replug it, then it works until i start 1-2 zones and then again the same issues...

so what to do with it? 

Hi,   

Prodotto perfettamente funzionante ma non riesco ad aggiungere l'app a Google Home. Quando cerco Netro sulla lista delle applicazioni compatibili non la trovo. 

Qualcuno è riuscito a configurarla? 

Grazie

Why does zone 1 only allow 1 minute manual water sequence and all the other zones it’s 5 minutes. I can’t figure out how to change this? 

Today, I went around the house to start the season, checking springklers, and one zone wouldn't stop in manual mode. I tried to be closer to home to get better Wifi signal. It still would not stop even if I turn on/off other zone. Shouldn't  manual stop override any previous malfunctions? I had to shut the main sprinkler valve for now because there was no way to stop the water for one particular zone.

Any fix for this? I am planning on a leave and that was the whole reason I got Netro, but this worries me if water won't shut off while I am away.

My whisperer sensor stopped working after a few weeks. Any ideas?

I live in Arizona and it's not really hot yet but it's starting to get warmer and I noticed my rye grass is starting to die off and everybody else's is very green.  I think it's because netro isn't watering as often as it should be when it gets warmer. I'm aware I can set a manual schedule but that kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought Netro. So what I'm saying is I think an algorithm needs to be adjusted so hot dry climates get a little more watering for winter grass that's still in season before the Bermuda comes in.

Just installed the system yesterday and I noticed zone 5 (of 5) for some reason is getting special treatment over the rest. All zones are set identically for the same types of grass, soil and sprinkler heads. However looking at the schedule zone 5 seems to be getting more attention than the rest (i.e.: only zone being watered during off days)  what's going on here?
