Best I can tell from the cursory technical specs is that for the Sprite the backup for a custom (not smart) watering schedule is in the cloud and for the Spark the backup is stored on-device in nonvolatile memory.  Is this correct?

My irrigation system runs off of a pump.  If I enable smart watering, will zones automatically enabled for a certain day run sequentially such that the pump will be turned on at the beginning of the daily cycle and off at the end of the cycle?  I don't want the pump cycling on and off multiple times during the day.

In the Netro app underwatering adjustment, what percentage setting is recommended under ‘moisture to skip watering’ and ‘moisture to add water’. I have a clay loam soil and we are having warm weather.

Why does the Spark controller schedule watering zones so erratically?  I have 7 zones and if it decides that all 7 zones need to be watered on the same day, why wouldn’t it just water in order 1-7.  Instead it might water 1,2,4,7,3,5,6,7?.  Or it might water zone 1-2 on one day, 4,5,6,3 the next day, and then 7,7 the next day.  

Just bought a home that has Netro however each time the sprinklers turn on they are pointing in different directions then we had them originally set. We end up watering cars and the street more than the lawn. Any suggestions? 

Hello

The system is stuck many times on watering, without showing a line below that is being watered. And so i have to restart it from the plug...

Any ideas? Can i restart from the mobile instead of plug?

I am trying to add a Manager and the system will not accept the email address I am entering. When I tried entering just a user name it populated an unknown email address. I deleted this. 

Then when I tried exiting the screen I received the Network Error 2507

I am still trying to figure out the rain prediction algorithm. 

I had 1 set of zones schedule to eater at 5 am on the 17th.

This was overridden by the program anticipating rain at 3am on the 18th (according to forcast). Why does it look so far ahead? Does it take into account the current moisture reading? There is an 85° full sun day between these events.

Hi, I need to use Only my programs but I cant turn off Smart control. So the app starts to water even When I dont want to. 

I recreantly purchased the netro controller and several times it has gone offline with having to unplug and restart. This seems to only work for a day and then goes offline again. I have rebooted my rooter which is on the same floor as the netro. Any help would be great.

Hello,

My Netro Sprite Is linked with the Google assistant and Google home app. I can see Netro in both apps but for some reason Google doesn’t accept any voice command or type commands. I tried many times resetting and reinstalling apps still doesn’t work,please help

Can I tell the smart watering app that it does not appear enough water is being applied to certain zones?

How can I get the app to generate a new watering schedule

Is it possible to create a program that ignores the data from the whisper sensors? When its above 90, I like to run a 3 minute session on all zones to cool the blades off, but if the moisture is too high it skips those zones. I'm fine with my other programs skipping since they're more about the soil. 

Hallo,

In der app sollte es möglich sein den richtigen niederschlag auch auf 0mm stellen zu können.

Zurzeit ist nur 1 mm möglich

I have a smart zone comprising rotor heads.  As I understand, rotor heads need to be run for longer times than other types of heads because they are only delivering water to one direction at a time (the current direction of the stream of water from the rotor).  Further, the amount of water delivered in a given time depends on how large of an arc the rotor passes through.  For example, if the rotor sweeps through only 180 degrees for 10 minutes, that ground gets 2x the water per unit area than if it runs through 360 degrees for the same 10 min.

So, it seems that, since the choice of rotor head does not include information about the arc it will travel through, there is no way for the smart watering algorithm to know how much water is being delivered per unit area, i.e. a zone with rotors going all 360 degrees is likely under-watering.

I believe this is happening on my lawn, and i would like to make a change in order to increase the time of watering for this zone.

What dials do I have at my disposal to make the smart watering algorithm water this zone for a longer period of time?

Today I see .40 for rain but yard still got irrigated. The smart water is set for .20 and to skip today, previous, tomorrow. Also set for expectation. Am I missing something? 

Hi

How I can reset whisper sensor

Like hard reset

I got one reporting 129 c temperature 

Of course it’s hot outside but

Not like that 

I have three whisper sensors,  all of them  but one is reporting moisture levels.  Temperature and sunlight are correct, but moisture is 0%.. I have reset the self learning, Did a hard reboot, and  Reattached the sensor to a different wireless network.  What else can be done?

I added the sensor as a stand alone, then added it to a pixie. Now I can’t figure out how to delete the whisper from the drop down screen. I go into settings and there are no sensors to choose from. Screenshots attached.
