Hi, 

My solar powered controller doesn’t charge its battery - not sure if it’s a battery problem - the controller is under direct sunlight for at least 6 hours every day.

I’ve set it to water for 1 hour every day so it’s a simple On/Off once a day.

Have other people had this issue?

Hello,

I have a 6 zone Netro sprite and need to update my wifi settings. No matter what I do I'm unable to get the Netro to enter host mode. I've tried hitting the RST button numerous times before or after manual reboots (even waiting the full 3+ minutes after re-plugging the device in). I even tried a full manual reset by holding the RST button for 10 seconds and the device still doesn't reset. I'm starting to doubt whether the reset button on my device works.

Has any one had any similar problems or pointers for just getting the Netro to join a new WiFi network? I'd rather not do a full reset and lose my zone settings, but at this point I've even tried that and can't get that working.

En la APP todo parece ir bien, pero no riega.

I have noticed in the past two days that timer is offline. Checked and hit button on timer and no activity even after 3 second hold. Brought battery in to charge via USB cable until LED on battery was green. Reinserted battery into timer, LED on timer blinked red once and now will no respond to anything I do. Battery obviously not holding a charge. Any answers?

I noticed system was going to water this afternoon so I skied the watering on the calendar hours before. 

When the time came the system still watered my yard?

Why?

And I could not find a single way to stop it.

Has anyone had an issue with their Sprite being inoperable shortly after the warranty ended?  I tested the power prongs with a voltmeter and the controller is getting electricity, but no lights are on.   It's 105 deg in Austin and no rain in sight.  I'm going out of town for 5 days, so I'm in trouble.  I'm going to have to go to Home Depot to get something off the shelf installed today before my trip.

Anyone with the same problem?  Has anyone been successful with a claim outside of the warranty period?

Update:  The Sprite went offline at the same time the LED light stopped working.  The watering schedule resumed two days later and the LED was still off.  Meaning - Sprite works fine, LED doesn't work.  Netro told me to send the unit in over the winter and they will repair the LED.  Awesome - thanks Netro!

All the best,

-Doug

whem my Netro is disconnected from wifi , all stsyem is out of service !!  THIS IS A BIG BUG !  

Is possible set a automatic program when the connection is down ?

i installed the Pixie last Monday, Tuesday it worked fine for the programmed 10 min sprinklers, but this morning it marked as finished but kept on watering. I tried the manual shut off and on and discovered i had to reduce the water pressure for it to work. At full pressure i hear the noise that the valve is trying to close, but it fails. The light goes to green and the water keeps running... 

For now i am adressing it by reducing the water flow, but is this normal? I just have regular city water, nothing special, no special pressure...?

My Netro connected to my Wi-Fi but Whisperer will not. It just keeps blinking slowly, white LED. It also won’t connect to my Netro app that is running my watering system. 

I have around 20  valves on 2 boxes and they start their run time at the same time causing low water pressures when both systems are operating how can I get one Box to come on or have knowledge that the other 1 is working.

Hello,

I’m having a problem on phone app. After the lights on the house go down and then up the Netro restart before modem get signal from the provider.

If I consult the web portal it tells me the Netro is online but on the phone app(iOS and Android) it tells me it’s offline.

Any way to correct this?

Regards.

This is my third summer with Netro. I haven't had any problems in the past.  I turned my water on from it being winterized in October and it is not working.  Any chance it could be Netro or do I need to get someone to look at the wiring at the hook up to the water main? 

Hi there,

I recently installed the Pixie, and have set up both the smart feature and a regular watering program. The watering program was supposed to go off this evening, but it didn’t. I then checked in the schedule, and all I saw were any restrictions and the smart watering schedule. My program was not there. I set the filters to show me the enables program, but it still does not appear. I have no way of telling with the program has been initialized. Is this a glitch? Should the program appear on the schedule? Why did it not activate when it was supposed to?

Thanks.

Add the option of the timeframe to start in one day and end in another:

Start ar 21:00 end at 3am

I can not change the time (number of minutes) for watering to happen. please help.

Two of the zones are 45 minutes and 60 minutes and they work.

I turned off all my zones, but my netro still stays is watering.  How do I get it to stop doing this?  I can't figure out what its watering either.

My pixie is leaking between the hose coupling and the unit (so screws on and seals and leaks between the seal and the main unit). Any ideas? Or is the unit defective?

Hi!

I have the following problem for several days, whisperer stopped calculating moisture. It shows 0% always, for 3 days already. I have tried to restart it, change its place. Soil is extra wet, but it still shows 0%. Other parameters like sunlight and temeperature are working fine. What should i do?

This device is becoming a nightmare.

I bought 2 of these last week and they are unable to reconnect when my router drop connection some times. 

I continue to reset and restore everything each time I have a disconnection because both my devices are unable to reconnect. 

Probably I have to send back them to the seller or please give me a real resolution

I need to water my garden not spend hours and hours about this non smart device

Thank you
