Unexpected smart schedule

Hi,

I set up a sprite connected to a whisperer. In the smart scheduling I see that my two zones would be watered in the following way the next day:

- zone 1: 6:00 16 min.

- zone 2: 6:17 15 min.

- zone 1: 6:46 16 min.

- zone 2: 7:02: 15 min.

I have 1 minute delay between each watering.

What I see the next morning is only the first two waterings made but not the second. Specifically:

- zone 1: 6:00 16 min.

- zone 2: 6:17 15 min.

I'm worried that my lawn is missing water since these days we are having the hottest days of summer (41 Celsius).

My whisperer now (11:23 AM august 12th) reads 0 lux, 23 C, 89% topsoil and 72% subsoil for zone 1 and 70% for zone 2. The whisperer is connected both to zone 1 and zone 2 so I don't know why I get different subsoil readings.

Immediately below I see "Moisture" "All day" both for zone 1 and zone 2. Could you please explain this behavior?

It would be nice if you could provide a blog post with all combinations of possibilities and related meanings.

UPDATE

In the web application I have found "User" in the restriction column searching. In the iOS app the only restriction I found to be activated could be the "Moisture to skip watering" in the watering adjustment for the whisperer sensor which is set to 80%.


Thank you in advance,

Tony

Dear Tony, 


Netro's smart schedules are dynamic. All smart schedules in the future could be adjusted if new events happen, for example, weather forecast data updates, new whisperer sensor data. Therefore, it's possible that the smart schedules you saw today will be updated tomorrow. For your specific case, two of your smart schedules on 12th could be skipped due to high moisture level reported by your whisperer sensor. As you mentioned, by default if the moisture level reported by Whisperer sensor is above 80%,  smart schedules will be skipped. You can update the threshold to higher or lower value if you need.

Thank you for your reply, but could you elaborate what Moisture All day means?

Hi Tony,
Moisture All day in Schedule page means your watering schedules was skipped bacause the soil moisture level was higher than the value 80%. Moisture to skip watering is 80% set by you.

I suppose that on the first configuration of a zone you schedule a watering to get 100% subsoil moisture and from there on you use your algorithms to schedule further waterings. Is there any way to reset/calibrate a zone by doing the first watering again? I skipped the first watering because I set up the sprite at noon and I didn't want to water at this time to prevent my plants "burning". I also searched a way to delete my zone and set it up as new but I didn't find it neither.

Hi Tony,

Currently we do not allow users to reset the soil moisture level. We can help reset the moisture level from the server side if you want.
Thanks,

Resolved. My whisperer was stuck at 98% moisture for topsoil that is why watering was skipping. I reset the sensor and joined it again to the app. Now I get reading in what should be correct ranges (15-25% in the last few days). Watering is expected tomorrow, finger crossed.
