Issue with Smart Watering

Hi David,


Your zone 3 watered several times per day and it is smart watering. Some zones are watered multiple times a day, you probably selected clay, clay loam or loam as the soil type which accepts water slowly, often as little as 1/4 inch per hour and that is why we break the watering into many pieces to avoid water runoff.


 We found your smart watering is advanced and in this level, Netro smart watering will add smart zone schedules for you if Netro think the watering is not enough. 


If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic, which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule. ( Settings->Zones->Smart Zone)

Thanks,

Hi Steve, 

Netro pixie cannot work with Google Home, though other Netro products (Sprite, Spark, Whisperer) can work with.

Hi Lee,


Please go to the home page. There is a drop down menu and please select your second pixie timer, then tap the "+"button on the upper right corner, go to Add a Product-> Plant sensor and then select the Garden and complete the following procedures to add the sensor. You will need to press the button 6 times on the back of the sensor to change its mode to Setup mode (light blinking slowly).


Please let us know if it works.


Thanks,

Hi Thomas, 


You can find some useful information when selecting the soil type from this article:https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=179 


The slope does not need to be particularly accurate bacause the slope mainly affects the maximum watering time. The larger the slope, the shorter the watering time, and itNetro will break watering into several times. 


Dry spots is determined by the springler system. If there are many dry spots, you can choose the frequent watering mode through settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode. 


Thanks, 

Netro Support

You can use Netro's shared user function. Please let the shared user download the app and use his own email register an account with Netro. Then you can add his email as a shared user in your account. Please go settings->controller->manage users->add manager

What does the attention icon means?

更新時間 2021-09-22 01:12:13 UTC

Hi Shai,


The exclamation mark means the cloud server did not receive the confirmation from the device. There are two possible causes:


1. the device is not powered up when it was supposed to be powered up to run that schedule. Therefore, the corresponding zone is not watered (what is why we use the exclamation to alert users)

2. the schedule run fine but it was during a temporary network outage or exception so that the confirmation cannot be delivered to the server. Wireless connection can be unstable for a short peroid time so it is not uncommon to have a glitch in the communication.

If the schedules afterwards are all correctly run and confirmed, it could just be a temporary network issues. But if that happens a lot please check the WiFi signal strength. If you use a WiFi extender, please make sure it is connected to the main router stably.


Thanks,

Netro Support

Hi Nancy, 


Our sever side gets and updates weather information every early morning at 4 am. It's probably that Netro has not updated the rainfall data previously so the moisture level did not go up. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Nancy,


Could you please check the soil around the sensor if it's tight enough? If there is large gap between soil and sensor, the air could cause noise.
