How to manually run a Sprite sprinkler circuit for testing?

Updated at 2022-04-07 02:36:20 UTC

Hi Mike,


To test the sprinkler, you can use the instant manual run feature on the Home page to turn on and off the zones instantly. The blue play button is for instant manual run for your zones.

You can also use the “Test run” feature on the login page. In this way you do not need to have a home Wi-Fi or create a Netro account. Your phone is directly connected to the Wi-Fi network hosted by the Sprite. This mode allows you to turn on and off the zones without involving the Netro cloud server.

Thanks,

Wency

Dear customer,


For the standby/offline issue, we will fix it in the next release of the app. We have updated it for you from the server side and please login your account to check if it works now. 

In the default mode, Pixie will go to sleep mode to save power after 5 minutes when it is manually powered on. Every hour it will wake up to check the latest watering schedules and report the power percentage. Therefore, when you start a manual run, the timer is most likely in sleep mode.


If you have to water instantly, you can go to Settings -> Timer-> "Keep Online" and enable the feature. Note the timer may start to keep online the next day and battery consumption will be faster when the timer is in this mode. Please refer to this article for more info:
https://netrohome.com/en/shop/user_guides/2


For the past or scheduled watering times, Netro shows last watered time on the home screen after the watering activities are executed. You can also view watering schedules on Schedule page. 


Please find the user guide through Settings->Support->Pixie Hose Faucet Timer and let us know if you have any further questions.


Thanks,

Wency

Hi Maureen,


You can choose "customized" mode to adjust watering by providing the preferred moisture level and flow rate of your sprinklers. Please go settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode. The manul run button is in the home page, below the Netro logo, there is task bar "online", "battery percentage", "manual run", "rain delay".

Hi Luis,


It is possible that the timer was shipped by airplanes and the shipping company may have demagnetize the internal valve. Manually turning on and off the valve (quickly press the button twice) for about 10 times can fix this issue.

Thanks

Dear customer,


The previous default provider Darksky stopped its service so we have switched to another provider. Netro sever side gets and updates weather information every early morning at 4 am. It will get the new weather informations and recalculate later. 


If the default weather provider doesn't work for you, you could try other weather source in settings->controller->weather provider. 


Thanks,

Smart Zone over watering

19
Wency Pan
Updated at 2022-03-28 07:03:56 UTC

Hi Scott,

Netro's algorithm is based on expert gardening knowledge, one of which is to avoid watering equally everyday and instead to water less frequently but deeply. Netro waters your garden only when the soil is dry enough in order to draw more oxygen into the roots, leading to a lusher landscape. By default, we allow the moisture level to deplete to a low level (recommended by EPA) before next watering and that is why you might see longer watering duration than the original settings on your old controller.

To reduce watering, you can choose "eco" mode through settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode.

Thanks,
Netro Support

Hi Werner,


To run every zone every hour for 5 minutes, you will have to create multiple programs. We recommend you to choose  "new plant" mode through settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode.

Hi Juan,


It is probably the sensor is out of battery so it does not report data. Please leave the sensor under sunlight for 3~5 days to check if it works.

If you remove the wire for station 3 from the controller, then start watering other stations for example station 2 or 4, does station 3 start to water?
