One of the great features of Netro is it's ability to look up my local (city/state) watering regulations, and apply them to my watering schedule. Bravo Netro!

Months ago, when I installed my Netro controller it looked up the then current (Stage-One) restrictions, and applied them to my watering schedule. However, since that time the watering restrictions have been eased (Year-Round restrictions) , and I'm allowed to water any day of the week. Well, Netro did not follow the changes and is still applying the old restrictions.

I attempted to trick Netro into rereading my local restrictions by turning the feature off, then back on. No luck.

So the questions are:

1) How often does a Netro Controller check the cloud database for updated watering restriction for it's location?

2) How often does Netro Central (you guys) check with communities for watering restriction updates and update your database so that deployed Netro controllers get accurate rules to apply?

I can see where it might be hard to keep up with small communities and rural areas, but my location (San Antonio, Texas, USA) has almost two-million people in the area. A single update on your part would provide a potentially large number of Netro users with current watering restriction information.

Thanks,

Matt 

Are there any plans to add HomeKit support to Netro? I have Alexa but prefer Apple's smart home platform.

We have a hot spot for our internet connection from Verizon. The hot spot keeps going off line and we don’t know what to do to correct it. Our Netro unit is in Florida and we are in Ohio. We don’t have any one close in Florida to help us with our problem. Might there be a inexpensive internet we might be able to acquire, or do you have another solution? We appreciate any suggestions you might have. We are happy with our Netro unit. Morrie Wayne. Address in Florida is. 1673 Abasco Ct. The Villages, Florida 32162.

Recently I have been having issues with zones 5-8 stop watering before the cycle is over, but keeps counting down and moves to the next zone and does the same thing. I have tried resetting the unit, re-linking the wifi, but doesn't seem to make a difference. Help!

I have set up all the zones with the whisperers. And there is something I do not understand.

One of the zones usually get flooded in autumn because the type of soil retains lots of water. 

But the whisperer and the smart zone is saying that the zone has to be watered more time than the other zones. 

My question is if the whisperer adapts the irrigation schedules and the time is watering per zone. Depending on the moisture, weather conditions  and type os soil.  It is clear that the soil type determines how much and how often to water. 

Here in the following link (https://www.netrohome.com/shop/products/whisperer)says that "Netro accurately measures the water capacity and drainage rate of your soil, making sure your soil always receives the perfect amount of water at the perfect time."

That is fine, but it is confusing that in the app I can still define the type of soil.

A second question I have is that I can define the watering strategy (Regular, ECO etc...) I want to know if the whisperer and the controller will notify me if I have to change the strategy based on the weather conditions and the type of soil, plants etc...

Any idea?

I was wondering if anyone knows where you can buy a whisperer sensor?  I am not finding them on Amazon.

Hello everyone,

I just noticed a yellow triangle symbol next to a watering schedule that was set for today.

Any idea what that yellow triangle means?

Good morning. 

I like the app, also in Italian is well done and intuitive to understand and to program. It’s full of interesting info and give plenty of advice. You need to modify few words that have probably been translated thru a web based translator. The days of the week are:

Monday = Lunedí

Tuesday = Martedí

Wednesday = Mercoledí

Thursday = Giovedí

Friday = Venerdí

Saturday = Sabato

Sinday = Domenica

Months translation:

The month of May is Maggio 

You translated in Potrebbe which is the translation of the verb Can. 

Best regards.

How do I set my program to run each zone for 30 minutes each, but water 10 minutes 3 times each.  I thought this used to be an option, but I don’t see it.

name is translate with ‘prénom’ (meaning= first name) correct translation is ‘nom’

maybe you can have help from users to have a perfect translation in all languages

When i read an answer on this forum (from the app) 

how can i return back to the previous list  of topics (without doing home button)?

During step 8, It says "Netro Connected but no internet"

Can you pleas ehelp?

Hello, does Netro work with Hunter sprinklers - having trouble getting them to work!

When I try to set a program for tomorrow I get this message "Program should be within the same day"

What does that mean???

Why can't I set programs for an upcoming day???

Hello, I've noticed that 2 out of my 6 zones suffer from low to no water pressure. I tried removing the nozzles to test but the water kept barely coming out. I know the solinoids are working because the water is coming from the zones, but how can I understand why there is super low pressure?

I have installed several Wisper ands would Like to know what rate of water would be acceptable on surface and deep down? 

It's the last day of the month and the new version still hasn't dropped. You are already a month past your original commit date. Please stop marketing products that are add-ons, when the software is lagging substantially. The big companies are going to catch, kill and eat you unless you start running faster.
