Hi.

I have a lawn that is irrigated by two solenoid valves, Zone 1 and Zone 2. Each zone controls 3 sprinklers, and there are overlapping areas between the sprinklers from both zones. I would like to configure the system so that when Zone 1 runs, Zone 2 also runs at the same time, and when Zone 1 is off, Zone 2 is also off. In other words, both zones should operate simultaneously to avoid certain areas always receiving extra water. Is there a way to set this up with the controller?

Hi,

Is there any interoperability/integration existing or planned with home automation/smart home platforms?

Integration with Homey Pro would be great, being able to fetch the watering status for each zone, start a manual watering, or send some external triggers (humidity, rain water tank level, etc.) 

Thank you !

One, and only one ,of my 4 Pixies occasionally sticks in open mode, not closing the valve, watering until I notice it. It won’t shut down from button and I have to turn it off or remove battery to get it to reset. It works for a few days and happens again. It has been working well for about 6 months. Any ideas how to fix this?

¿Es posible en un Programa manual que se repita en más de un horario al día?. Sólo he podido indicar en cada programa una hora de inicio y una hora de fin, me gustaría en ese programa que se lanzase una vez por la mañana y otra vez al final de la tarde

This morning my 16 zone Spark unit was showing a red LED.

The app said it was online but when I tried to manually water a zone, it just said "connecting" for the duration with nothing happening outside.

Our wifi was running as normal and the room with the controller in had a good signal.

Unplugging and plugging back in solved the problem but it doesn't leave me with much confidence of the unit if it's going to do this at a critical time of year without being noticed.

Is there a reliability issue with the latest firmware?

Hi,

Just got a Pixie for my balcony drip system (used to have a Gardena un-smart controller). As soon as I installed it, water was running through it! Why is not off by default and why isn’t there a simple start/stop button on the app (in case of emergency)? I don’t want my neighbors underneath complaining it’s dripping water all over the place because of an issue with the smart watering system that couldn’t be easily stopped!

I  bought a new Pixie and I connects with my router, it does not connect to the internet. The suggestions in the directions do not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Have a whisperer working fine.

As the battery of my second one could not be charged (even by cable) bought a new one.

The new whisperer is blinking white, the phone, the router and the new whisperer are within 3ft of each other.

Nothing happens on the appli, see only the existing whisperer not the new one.

What should I do ?

Hello, please take in consideration to extend the possibility to link the whisperer up to 4 zones at least. I have 4 zones enabled on my netro sprite and the smart zones enabled and linked with the whisperer only on 3 of them. How can I setup all the 4 zones to follow the same smart program? Now the 4th zone (not linked with the whisperer) can follow only a manual program or a smart zone which is different from the other 3. I would like to water the garden with all the zone at the same time.

Some translations in the app for the Dutch language are a bit off. The wrong translation from English to Dutch is used.

For instance to save a setting in Dutch the word “sparen” is used. “sparen” in Dutch is used for instance to save money. The proper Dutch word to save a setting is “opslaan”

Another one is how “disabled” is translated. It currently says “gehandicapt” which is the Dutch word for disabled people. When a setting is disabled the proper Dutch word is “uitgeschakeld”, literally meaning off-switched

Kind regards,

Perry

One of our sectors runs inside a greenhouse now. Apart from soil type and sprinkler head type, does anyone have advice how to optimise sector settings for this situation? I feel the influence of sun and normal outdoor temperature is different, and rain is completely absent in this sector. 

May I suggest to add some sector setting that it is inside a greenhouse?

Thanks

Perry

We are using your API example, where ABCDEFG is the device key.
Using this example, we're getting the following error returned: {"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","tid":"1737627330_uXNP","version":"1.0","token_limit":2000,"token_remaining":1993,"last_active":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","token_reset":"2025-01-24T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":4,"message":"Invalid sensor","params":{}}]}, 

It is the same when we use the actual device keys for our Sprite and Whisperers 2.

Could you please help understanding why we're getting the error number 4 "invalid sensor"?

Any reason why the system sometimes skip zones and not water them. I have 3 sensors and they all reading the same moisture across all 9 zones, that’s why I’m confuse into why sometimes decide to skip zones. 

Why ? 

My Pixie Z1 has lost connection with hub. Have reset multiple times, just comes up with hub not detecting any deices. Have replaced batteries,

reset, with no luck. Is the unit faulty? Purchased on 6/6/23. Bought a Pixie 1 so have nothing to check Hub.Have reset that several times to.

As previous question, netro showing offline, but green on box. Not watering.

Have reset network and reconnected. Same.

Suggestions?

Hard reset?

The door came off my spark 8 unit.  This made the electronics tape disengage from the base. How do I reattach that tape back into the slot.  I tried by hand but it seems impossible without detaching the motherboard and making more problems 

I have tried to access my whisperer plants sensors, but they do not show up in the Netro app. What do I need to do to rectify this?
