I have added netro to google home. The netro device in my garden now shows offline "does not respond". It flashes to "connecting" each second which quickly fails. 

controlling via the app works fine.

what could be going on?

Since wifi uses a fair amount of regular power, I assume the Pixie cannot be kept connected to the Internet or remain online for long periods of time. Yet the instructions and website don't seem to offer much guidance, and if so, I have not been able to find it.

So I experimented. I set the Keep Connected option to 9 am to 7:30 pm for Thursday. Seems the battery went dead in a day. 

I gather the Keep Connected option is limited. If so, any guidance would be appreciated. I did find it concerning that neither the Netro app nor the experimental web app showed the rapid deterioration in battery power.

Ideally users would have the option to set multiple blocks for Keep Connected. For example, I would like the Pixie to stay online from 7 am to 8 am and then again from 6 pm to 7 pm. Is that something that's in the works? I know most customers might not need such an option, but for some such as myself it would be useful.

I also imagine there is some kind of obstacle to the device sending out a WAKE UP command when a user wants to connect. Such as feature would obviously be great.

The particulars: 

The Netro app said I had 82% power at the start of Thursday. The app also said I had 82% power as of Friday morning (data appeared frozen in retrospect).

 

On Friday afternoon, the app suddenly told me it was zero power (while the experimental web app told me it was at 84% power and then 9% power on Fri afternoon). The app went from showing itself to be ONLINE, as it should, to NEXT SYNC. No warning or anything or the app showing a gradual depletion of power.

Just got a Pixie. I downloaded both Netro and Netro Home for Alexa. Both work, but should one be disabled? 

The Netro app seems a bit simpler to use (but still clunky). By contrast, Alexa asks if I want to open the Nextro Home app every time I give a command.

Ideally the commands would be simplified, but at least I can get it to work.

Hi,

I found netro home app in google home and add with my account to my home. When I click on it I can only start and stop netro without control on which zone I want to do this action. I suppose that it will go in order through the zones. Could be possible to add a zone control on this action? 

Thanks for your support.

From today, the temperature is shown in fahrenheit instead of Celsius, why? Where I can change the setting?

Thanks.

Hi, I was interested to know if you will be integrating Netro System to HASS.IO? This is a platform may people use and it would be great to have it integrated. 

Also, I see that there is some type of http page that shows files and SSH is enabled by default. These are security concerns and should be turned off if not used. 

Help.  Last summer I installed my new Netro.  each wire color correlated to a specific area ie. front yard, back yard, side yard.  It worked last summer.  Now when I tell the system to turn on my any area such as back yard my front yard turns on each time.  all other areas remain dry.   help. what do I do?  i have already reset my unit and reconnected to wifi but still the same.

I'm selling my house with a sprite 12 zone system already set up. How do I transfer this to a new owner without having to reset zones, naming the zones, selecting type of plants and timers?

I know they will have a new wifi router. I think I can set that up. 

I have the Netro Whisperer and, recently, it is only indicating 1% soil moisture even though it’s inserted into a fully wetted pot.  I’ve tried cleaning the sensor stake and recalibrating it but it still only indicates 1% soil moisture on the app.  How can I correct this?

Hi- it has been raining now for two weeks and it says moisture level 100% but still watering everyday?  

This is an easy question 

Thanks

My sprinklers are starting 1 hr past when they are programed due to daylight savings ending.

I would have assumed the clocks changed with the clock on my phone but that doesn't seem to be the case. 

Haow can i change this? 

New system owner. When having fall blowout performed, I found I needed to be present to run each zone. I didn’t find a way to provide access to the technician. Other systems on the market provide this function. 

Manually watering Zone 2, sprinklers stopped watering while the app still showing watering and counting the time, tried all other zones, none is watering though the app shows they’re. Checked wifi works, power to the controller works. The only thing I noticed is that the light on the controller is off all the time except when unplug and plug it back, the light flicks once and then remained off

It’s like the app doesn’t know it’s connected 

To the correct WiFi although it is.  Bought a new sensor - not connecting since upgrade to iOS 13. Please advise. See pictures. 

You mentioned you would add the ability to display the ip address in the next upgrade. Having dealt with networking issues for many years. I find it best to be able to assign static ip addresses to my home networked devices so I don’t have random dhcp issues causes by laptops or phones reconnecting and trying to take over an IP address that might be in use by a device that is a permanent resident.

Would you add the ability to assign the IP address to the controller? Many people don’t realize the significance of this but I find it important to a healthy home network.
