Hi there,
I am a great satisfied user of the Netro Sprite system I have been using for more than a year now without any significant issue.
I am also fond of the Jeedom system which is the most famous home automation box deployed in France. I am a DIY user of Jeedom since I created my own box through a raid1-debian-raspberry system which works finely. Nevertheless one important thing is missing to this box : a plugin for connecting the Netro Watering system to the rest of the home automation eco system. The only way I can integrate "a piece" of Netro is through the IFTTT integration you have been provided a couple of months ago. To be frank this IFTTT integration is not working very well and quite disappointing : functionally limited, high latency, lost of triggers, low resilience...and then unusable in my point of view.
I think it would be great if a real integration could be done. I'm in the starting blocks to develop the Jeedom plugin as soon as you decide to publish your API. Let me know, it's a matter of a few days of workload that I would easily find in my spare time. I am extremely motivated :-)
Well done for your system, it's the best on the market!
Regards,
Christophe

Thanks for your feedback and I have forwarded your suggestions to our R&D. We will discuss about the improvements of IFTTT.
Thanks,

Thanks for your great feedback!
Netro's IFTTT API relies on IFTTT's server. IFTTT server works based on polling which could have large latency. We did the optimization to trigger IFTTT server immediately when an event happens. This helps, but IFTTT doesn't not fetch the latest information from our server immediately. They have some learning algorithm to study the behavior and optimize the polling frequency and time. We will contact with IFTTT for more details.
Providing an API is also a great suggestion. Our R&Ds may provide the API in the future. We don't have a fixed time line for now, you could check later in early 2021.
