Smart Sprinkler Controlle starts then stops

Nigel Briggs
Updated at 2025-01-10 23:15:31 UTC 

Hi.

My controller operates but many times, rather than executing the time setting. It just cuts out? 

I do have a sensor connected but I took it out of the ground to exclude wet soil feedback 

I'm guessing there is a parameter forcing the stops? 

Could anyone give me a direction where to look? 


Thanks

Netro Spark problem

Russ McEvoy
Updated at 2025-01-11 17:12:27 UTC 
Topic: General

This morning my 16 zone Spark unit was showing a red LED.

The app said it was online but when I tried to manually water a zone, it just said "connecting" for the duration with nothing happening outside.

Our wifi was running as normal and the room with the controller in had a good signal.

Unplugging and plugging back in solved the problem but it doesn't leave me with much confidence of the unit if it's going to do this at a critical time of year without being noticed.

Is there a reliability issue with the latest firmware?

API Error 4 - even with the example Device key

W4MSolutions
Updated at 2025-01-23 17:32:49 UTC 

We are using your API example, where ABCDEFG is the device key.
Using this example, we're getting the following error returned: {"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","tid":"1737627330_uXNP","version":"1.0","token_limit":2000,"token_remaining":1993,"last_active":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","token_reset":"2025-01-24T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":4,"message":"Invalid sensor","params":{}}]}, 


It is the same when we use the actual device keys for our Sprite and Whisperers 2.


Could you please help understanding why we're getting the error number 4 "invalid sensor"?

Door came off the unit

The door came off my spark 8 unit.  This made the electronics tape disengage from the base. How do I reattach that tape back into the slot.  I tried by hand but it seems impossible without detaching the motherboard and making more problems

Water transfer during rain

mark spencer
Updated at 2025-03-12 02:34:42 UTC 

Assumption is that rain events need to prevent / skip watering.


I have one requirement that is the opposite where if it has rained more than 5mm, i want to use my watering system to pump water for about 15 minutes from my 100,000 litre water tank to a 12,000 litre holding tank that I use for gravity fed gardens. 


Is there a way?

does not irrigate

Giovanni Asoni
Updated at 2025-04-28 15:58:30 UTC 
The same thing happens to me too. No irrigation today... 04/27/2025 Netro does not connect... it says it is watering in manual mode, then I go to check and nothing happens! No water comes out of any station, I tried to reset but to no avail. If I try the tester the irrigation starts but if I try with the manual it says it is watering but that is not true. I checked the Wi-Fi and it is fine.

Irrigation system service

How do you allow your irrigation or landscape service people to run the system without having a phone or Internet connection? Is there a simple way for them to override the sprite, and use some other way to manually open the valves without going underground to expose them?

Request for Advice on Improving Water Pressure for Netro Pixie Irrigation Timer

Andrea DS
Updated at 2025-04-22 12:33:21 UTC 

Hello,

I would like to ask for advice on how to improve the water pressure for my Netro Pixie irrigation timer.

Here are the details of my setup:

  • The water is stored in a cistern with a capacity of one cubic meter (1 meter x 1 meter x 1 meter), equivalent to 1,000 liters.
  • The Netro Pixie smart timer is installed three meters below the tap of the cistern.
  • When the timer opens, only a small amount of water flows out.

How can I improve the water output and quantity? Are there any adjustments or solutions you would recommend?

Thank you very much for your help!

IFTTT Trigger for moisture

Kareo
Updated at 2025-04-29 04:50:52 UTC 

When I try to set the trigger for a moisture level in IFTTT, it does not give me the option to choose at what moisture % I want the trigger to run.  How do I set the trigger for a specific %?


It only gives me the option for account, device, and zone.
