Whisperer Product Enhancement?

Kirk Davis
Updated at 2025-07-10 18:58:03 UTC 

It seems like, from my communications with the support team, that the soil moisture indicated by Netro does not factor into sprinkling times other than understanding how sprinkling time changes soil moisture (essentially guesses soil type). I have had to very expensive weather stations, and both failed to accurately report rainfall in as little as three months. With religious cleaning of them (ladder climbing-dangerous) neither accurately reported rainfall for more than six months. My first station Accurite 5-1) was replaced at three months and I gave up and bought an Ambient Weather WS2902-C, which lasted less than a year. So….


Why not have the Whisperers determine actual rainfall- or better yet- make your next product the only digital rain gauge on the planet that actually works? Or, perhaps gen 3 of the Whisperer can have a rain gauge built in. When you get multiple Whisperers  per zone, working in the software, the soil moisture readings alone could make reported rainfall irrelevant. 


Thanks,

Kirk


P.S. The support team HAS to stop using the term “soil humidity”. It makes them seem like they don’t know the difference between a fluid (water= moisture) and a gas (vapor=humidity). The Whisperer cannot calculate evaporative likelihood and doesn’t know the air pressure above the soil, so it can only measure moisture, which would, to some extent, measure the influence of water vapor on the moisture, depending on how it was being measured.

I cannot activate my PIXIE-Z1 to water, it is with brand new batteries, it says 100%, it is online and app and webpage react as all is fine and watering, but unfortunately nothing happens with the device. It works if I push twice the button on the device.


What could the issue be?

Thank you in advance

My whisperer used outdoor gave me an alert here thru the Netro app saying it has 19% battery remaining. What does it mean? Is the solar no longer working? Is there another way to recharge it or can the rechargeable battery be replaced?


Thank you

Problem: Spark 8 controller stuck on “in communication” when activating valves

Stefano
Updated at 2025-07-21 21:17:23 UTC 

Hi everyone,

my Netro Spark 8 controller connects correctly to Wi-Fi and shows as online in the app. However, when I try to start irrigation manually from the app, it just stays on “in communication” and nothing happens.


I’ve already tried:


  • Using a different Wi-Fi network (even a mobile hotspot)
  • Replacing the controller with a new Spark 8
  • Restarting both the app and the device



If I activate the valves directly from the controller, they work fine — so it’s not a hardware issue.


Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

– Stefano

My whisper smart sensor is contacted to my garden plants zone at my holiday home. The smart schedule is not working.this is due to the fact that the sensor battery says it needs charging. Obviously I can’t charge it as I am not there. But I can’t seem to find a way of disconnecting the sensor from the program and on to smart schedule

One, and only one ,of my 4 Pixies occasionally sticks in open mode, not closing the valve, watering until I notice it. It won’t shut down from button and I have to turn it off or remove battery to get it to reset. It works for a few days and happens again. It has been working well for about 6 months. Any ideas how to fix this?

Interoperability with Alexa, Homey, any other smart home platform?

arnaud@brucy.org
Updated at 2025-08-22 19:03:11 UTC 

Hi,

Is there any interoperability/integration existing or planned with home automation/smart home platforms?

Integration with Homey Pro would be great, being able to fetch the watering status for each zone, start a manual watering, or send some external triggers (humidity, rain water tank level, etc.) 

Thank you !

How to run two irrigation zones simultaneously to avoid overlap issues

Angel
Updated at 2025-08-24 22:55:28 UTC 

Hi.

I have a lawn that is irrigated by two solenoid valves, Zone 1 and Zone 2. Each zone controls 3 sprinklers, and there are overlapping areas between the sprinklers from both zones. I would like to configure the system so that when Zone 1 runs, Zone 2 also runs at the same time, and when Zone 1 is off, Zone 2 is also off. In other words, both zones should operate simultaneously to avoid certain areas always receiving extra water. Is there a way to set this up with the controller?

Setup whisperer for skipping watering due high soil humidity

Francesco Gritti
Updated at 2025-08-29 16:39:06 UTC 

Hi, I have a Sprite 12 zones and a Whisperer 2 sensor added to the Netro app. However I cannot find any way to setup the sensor so that it inhibits watering if the measured humidity is higher than some value. The sensor is sending correct reading to the app but now it has been raining for few days and the Sprite keeps watering.


I would like to disable watering based on the sensor only and not on the weather forecast.


If in the app I select the Sprite, then go to settings>zones and select one zone i see the setting Sensor as "Not connected" but there is no way to connect a sensor. If i select the sensor and go to settings>sensor I see all the settings to change name, light color data send interval, but nothing about rain.


Can someone please help me? Thank you!

My system is connected to a 500 liter tank. If I turn on both zones, it empties in 13 minutes.

In the application there is no possibility to program the maximum irrigation time for each individual area. I want you to work at most 13 minutes!
