I bought a Netro Spark to replace an existing controller (a Raspberry pi based Open Sprinkler system) which exploded probably due to a shorted solenoid.

I read that the Spark can detect solenoids that are drawing too much current; is it safe to connect the Spark to shorted solenoids without worrying about damage to the controller?

Should I test all the solenoids with an amp meter first just to make sure?

Hi - I am trying to determine if the 12 station Netro  spark would be easy for me to install.

I currently have a rather old rain bird system with 16 valves.

I think I understand the mapping of the com and individual values. But I am confused about the 24 vlt and my current rain sensor.

It seems like my 24vlt wires come from a pack/converter that is plugged into an outlet. Is this directly convertible - not sure how I take the orange wires and the devices they are connected to on the left of the picture to the new controller?

As well, would my current hunter rain sensor still work with the new controller, or do I need a different one?

Thanks for your help and advice.

I had just installed 3 whisper and two of them are showing temperature o 3xxx °C, while the third one is correct.

Is this normal? Or will be auto updated?

?

Hello all,

I just bought a Netro controller with only 2 areas setup and I like it so far. 

I was wondering if the noise and heat from the power supply was a  normal thing to happen.

Thanks in advance.

I've installed 2 Spark 16s to control a 26 valve system.  All the valves are working fine with this setup.  Are there instructions for the best way to configure this?  I have low water pressure and can't run 2 valves at the same time, so some synchronization between the 2 Sparks is needed.  I could manually setup restrictions on each unit, so they can't overlap, but that seems too coarse.  Any ideas about the best way to program this?

I installed my Spark yesterday and zones 5 through 8 do not work. I metered the valve on zone 5 and it is fine. I also swapped zones 4 and 5 and the fault stayed on 5. I tried connecting the zone to 6 and 8 and still received the fault. Is the controller defective?

Hello.
Is it possible to move a Zone, in my case: "Prato e back giardino" from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 in a efficient way?
Let's say, for instance:  Copy Zone "Prato e back giardino" or Move "Prato e back giardino" from Terminal2 to Terminal 3, without being obliged to cancel the previous and reprogram all in a new Zone?

I've a problem with Terminal 2: the wire broke inside and I am not able to remove it ....

Thanx a lot

My pixie won’t find my Wi-Fi. I’ve rebooted my router but didn’t help. 

Hi,

Netro spark can be configured and used as timer if no wifi access point are available?

It is possible to use it by connecting directly mobile phone with spark without additional devices?

Thx

I am unable to have my new whisperer working. It doesn’t light on even after half a day under the sun.

May I reconfigure localization of my Netro Spark without reset the device? I have configured the device at home and now installed at my summer house many miles far away. Thanks.

I have 2 houses and I wanted if it is possible, with a single phone to control 2 Netro
Cordially

Hicimos la instalación tal como figura el manual pero ni las electroválvulas ni la bomba de agua enciende cuando programó el riego. La app dice q está regando pero no funciona el riego.

Hi,

I’ve got a sprite 6 system with 3 zones configured and no master valve

The watering stops before the end of planned schedule. 

So I’ve deactivated all smart function to check, manual launch planned for 5 minutes. 

It starts and after 15seconds it stops watering. 

Any idea why?

Hi 

i received Netro programmer

no connection

i have a fritbox 7560 

the server status message says

mqtt blocked port 1883 

I removed an older controller and replicated the wiring when installing the new Netro.  Everything appears to be correct?  However, when watering is activated, the valves will fill up and vibrate or what not with water rushing internally.  But the sprinkler heads don’t pop up and no water comes out.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Installed - but now only 4 of 9 zones work, thoughts?

Can I use my app to set up another device that will be on a different WiFi? It is for my Mother’s lawn and I would like to get it set up using my phone

I am having difficulty setting up my timer.  I have Netro connections, but I can not seem to make my phone connect to schedule a time for irrigation.  manual does not have good information on trouble shooting this issue...

I need help with that.
