Dear customer,

The manul run button is in the home page, below the Netro logo, there is task bar "online", "enabled", "manual run", "rain delay". Please select "manual run" to start watering for each zone. 

Thanks,

Hi Simone,


Could you please check your unit LED light status?

Is the light fast blink, slow blink,  solid light or no light at all?
Please try power cycle the unit first, unplug, wait for two seconds, plug it back, wait for about 2 minutes, see what the unit LED light status.

If the unit is in slow blink, please try reconnect your unit to your home wifi through settings>controller->change wifi network/password.
If the unit is in quick blink, please try below steps to do a reset, then reconnect it to your home wifi:

1.Power off the device(unplug the power adapter)
2.Wait for 2 seconds, replug the power back in
3.Wait for 3 minutes for the device to start up
4.Press the reset button for less than 1 seconds to do a soft reset (use a pin insert to the RST hole button)
5.Wait for 5 seconds. This should set the light to slow blinking.
Then you can go to the Netro app -> settings-> controller -> change wifi network/password.

Please let us know if it works.


Thanks,
Wency

Dear customer,

We have updated the app and the manul run button is in the home page, below the Netro logo, there is task bar "online", "enabled", "manual run", "rain delay". Please select "manual run" to start watering for each zone. We are still improving the manual run feature and the final version should be almost like the previous one.


Thanks,

Hi Judith,


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.


Pleaase let us know if it works.


Thanks,

Dear customer,


For Spark you can setup a local backup program stored on-device which is nonvolatile. The backup program does not depend on the cloud server and will always run.

Dear customer,


1.If there is no wifi when Netro is watering, Netro will still finish all watering schedules as long as there is power. Netro will send notification when the system is offline more than 24 hours.


2. Usually devices will automatically reconnect to the server immediately after power outage. Netro Spark controller has a backup program to run if it goes offline. Netro Sprite controller does not have the backup program.


3.The Whisperer sensor is sold separately and it is only available on our own website https://netrohome.com


Please let us know if you have any further questions.


Thanks,

Netro Sprite 6 no enciende la bomba

Dear Vanina,


Please check the wires. Are they loose or disconnected from the slots? Please also check the common wires and the master valve if you have one. If you believe the wires are correctly installed,  please check if there is a main valve/faucet that is turned off manually. 

To test if the controller is working properly, use a multimeter (AC voltage mode) to test the voltage between the common wire and the zone wire when the zone is active. Normally the voltage should be between 24V and 28V.

You might also want to check whether there are shorted zones or open zones. You just need to use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the common wire and each zone (remove the wires from the slots before testing the resistance). The normal reading would be 20-60 Ohms. If the reading is less than 10 Ohms then you might have a shorted circuit in the solenoid and if it is larger than 80 Ohms you might have an open circuit. 


Thanks,

Wency
