I always read that it was better to water early in the morning than in the evening. I see Netro gives the option of 2 frames daily though.  I turned on two frames and created a lengthy frame in the morning and evening for watering. Now when Netro schedules my watering it breaks it up between the two zones - even though the morning zone is long enough to hold the entire watering schedule for any partucular day - so presumably Netro thinks it's better to do half the watering in the morning and half in the evening.  My question is "What is the best practice with Netro watering, and why does it choose to water morning and evening rather than just morning? ". I was sort of expecting it would only use the second frame if the first frame wasn't long enough - but this is not the case.

Update:  in my original post below, I thought the problem was using the interval function set to three days. Since I posted that, I have also noticed that another zone which used the weekly function set to Monday and Friday also was not operating for the last several weeks. The one thing these all have in common is that the time was set for 60 minutes. Could there be a bug where if you set the zone to water a full 60 minutes, it doesn’t work at all?

Original post: I’ve been mostly satisfied with Netro for a few years now, but this is the first season I tried using the interval of “every three days.“ I started the setting last month in a few areas, and my plants were doing poorly. It took me this long to realize that it just simply isn’t watering them at all. That’s right, my programs are set up for every three days, and when I look at the schedule to determine when the last watering cycle was, they just haven’t been watered at all since I switched to the interval of three days. For now I’ve gone back to my weekly settings where I chose Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but am I the only one who can’t use the interval function?  I have dead plants because of this.

Yersterday evening Whisperer was active but today display is totally blank (only grey segments). 

No light on the device.

Everything else OK including weekly averages. The few days before becoming blank was a bit surprised by the readings. According to weather conditions and watering was expecting a rise in humidity but it was on the contrary shown as decreasing.

Is there a way I can re-start it or should I buy a new one ?

Thanks 

Was looking at the smart water schedule this AM and noticed an exclamation points next to several some start times. What does this mean?

Hello, I paid for a 12 months Sprite subscription and wondering when I am going to receive the device.  It has been 2 weeks and NetroHome refused to respond to my emails.  What is the deal with this?  I guessed bad customer service is expected right?

I get this warning when I try to add a manual run to the schedule, even when I just woke up the timer outside and even the app home page says it’s online  there is no way around the error, it blocks adding it

Watering too frequently and not capturing moisture level. We received >1 inch of rain yesterday and says ground is less than 2%.  Schedules 30 minutes of watering each day for most zones.  Says it sound only be watering every 3 days for 23 minutes.  Something is not working correctly.

Hi,

I did purchase Spark 8 in Canada but I will be using it in Spain. 

When I try to activete the unit, I cannot use my Spainish address for the location of the unit. The app is taking the location from my phone and when I put the Spanish address I get an error that I am located in Canada. When I turn off the location service of my phone I cannot move to the next step at all.

Any suggestions how I can solve this problem?

Thank you,

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

When appears the yellow  sign I  have to start manually the irrigation.

Why doesn't it start automatically?

Now I'm abroad and I have to check daily...

Thank you

I have added rain delay by mistake. Now I want to remove it but I do not see it settings >> restrictions but next watering schedule is after 10 days, Please suggest how to change it.

I set the smart schedule to go on at 50%. The app says if it goes below low, it will water till it gets to high

It’s set to a low of 50 and you can clearly see it let it get below low which it said it wouldn’t

Why is there a 30 minute gap between these 2 auto entries from smart schedule 

Wency,

Can you add KTXHUMBL256 to Wunderground for me in Houston so my Netro can run off my weather station in my backyard.

Thanks,

John Kollehner

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

How do you do a total reset?

Can’t change programs or add new ones .

Seamed to be stuck ?

I want to give my dahlias 50 gallons every other day. How do I program that?

Can the pixie faucet timer measure flow rate or amount of water dispensed?

Does not recognize my station (KARFAYET95) as a valid station. Please help. 

Can someone tell me what the clock time zone is.
