Hi guys,

My Netro system is not skipping watering on rainy days. As shown below, it still watered even though it is configured to skip the previous day, the rainy day itself, and the day after. Any recommendations?

I switched the enable switch in the Netro app to disable and now I can't get it to turn back on. The app says "next run not scheduled". When I close the app and reopen it, the switch has moved back to the disabled position. Nothing works, I can't even manually water. The controller has a green light showing and I have tried powering the controller off and back on and it reconnects without an issue but the app will not work.

Good morning, if anyone can help me, I have two Netro control units installed 1 km from each other and they give me two different forecasts, both having the same weather portal, one irrigates it even with rainy days, while the other gives me the programming in 20 days.....

Zone 4 correctly runs when zone 4 is activated

Hello Netro Support Team,

I am a user of the Netro system and I need assistance with my zone configuration.

Currently, I have a specific zone (named "Goccia") set up with a User Program (fixed days and fixed minutes). I do not want the Netro AI to change my watering duration or frequency.

However, I want the system to automatically skip my fixed program if it rains or if rain is predicted.

In my app settings for this zone, I see that "Smart Zone" is currently Disabled. My questions are:

1. If I enable "Smart Zone", will it overwrite my manual minutes and days, or will it only apply the "Rain Skip" feature to my existing User Program?

2. How can I ensure that the system follows my fixed schedule strictly, but still uses weather data to skip cycles during rain?

I want my manual program to be "Weather-aware" without becoming "AI-controlled".

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Not really a question but a shout-out about the changes to the app.  l found the wonderful new additions that the Netro team just made.  I suggest everyone check out the new additions.  I have tweked a couple of my zones and Very pleased.  Suggest everyone check it out!

This is a great product with a great application as well. Thanks to the team and the developers for working hard to make this right. This is fantastic!

Smart watering disables my program as it thinks its going to rain, how do I override it - if the weather forecast doesnt pan out or we dont get enuf rain

How is the subsoil moisture determined on the Netro App for each zone?

The app has a number of soil choices- I don’t know which to choose. I assume different soil has different water retention. Is there a list which shows how much water the different soil types require?  Or is there a way to tell which soil you have?

I have a system working in Florida and I just wanted to do the same thing in Kansas and I bought it and I have wired it but I haven't plugged it in because I don't know how I'm going to control each different location and I'm afraid something might go wrong and I won't be able to water in Florida.

So how do I control each separate location with the same phone?

i’ve had the controller installed for almost 2months now and it works fine. I like the idea that it seems to know how much to water and keep the lawn  green. However I have pets who use the backyard and would like the watering to be between 9 pm and 5 am.  I think the system can be setup for manual watering times BUT that defeats getting an expensive smart system to replace a low end rainbird system.  

Is there anyway to set up time constraints on the system and still run on automatic,

Also lack of a manual and good instruction is a pain. 

I have eight zones with smart watering enabled for all zones. I noticed this morning when looking at scheduling that a few of the zones will water multiple times in the same morning. For example, Zone one will water for 4 minutes, Zone 2, Zone 3 excetera. Then it goes back to Zone 1 for 3 minutes, and maybe zone for for 7 minutes. Is this normal?

I have inserted a screen shot.Notice the zone, "house left."

is there an option to set up and kick off a manual ad-hoc run without having to schedule it?

I have had the netro for a  week and it has yet to water the lawn. Today, it states 12 more days until the next water. I have Bermuda grass in Alabama, it is 90+ degrees daily. Seems like it will never water. It has only rained for 5 minutes the last week, but the app thinks it has rained more often.

Hi just wanted to know if I running only customs programs for watering I can take advantage of the Smart Watering feature. In other words, I only have my own watering program, NO smart programs, and need to know if the controller will skip these programs when raining. If NOT will the sensor allow provide that feature?

Thx - Mike

Hello - I have a 9 zone system. I have set all of the zones with the exact same settings for type, grass, etc. I do not have any sensors. 

However, the app shows the zones having different moisture levels, and waters certain zones differently than others, even though the settings and system location are the exact same. 

Can you help me understand why the system would treat these identically programmed zones differently

Thanks!

In the zone settings, the app offers different types of watering, for example, regular, deep watering, boost, etc. One is labeled EPA. 

What are the differences between the settings and watering times/amounts for: regular, boost, and EPA?

app does not run on iOS 11 iPhone 7 

Any ideas 

I have 4 zones. Two of these cover the same piece of ground. One zone has pgm sprayers and the other zone has regular sprayers .But they cover exactly the same area. How do I tell the app this so that it knows that running the sprinklers for one zone waters the same trees and grass as the other zone? 

To try and clarify the question - these zones cover the same physical piece of ground, (they overlap 100%) but netro doesn't know that, so it will water one zone and think the other zone is still in need of watering - and thus water the same grass twice. (each zone once so the same grass twice).  Netro's algorithm for determining soil moisture levels can't work if it doesn't realize these two zones are the same physical piece of grass.
