enable switch

Andrew McNaughtan
Updated at 2026-04-19 22:32:06 UTC 
I switched the enable switch in the Netro app to disable and now I can't get it to turn back on. The app says "next run not scheduled". When I close the app and reopen it, the switch has moved back to the disabled position. Nothing works, I can't even manually water. The controller has a green light showing and I have tried powering the controller off and back on and it reconnects without an issue but the app will not work.

Hi guys,

My Netro system is not skipping watering on rainy days. As shown below, it still watered even though it is configured to skip the previous day, the rainy day itself, and the day after. Any recommendations?

Can you have multiple locations or do you have to setup separate accounts?

If separate accounts, how do you do that?

Adding a 2nd system

Jayden Lockley
Updated at 2026-03-21 07:03:33 UTC 

I currently have a Netro Sprite system set up on a bore, I'm only using 9 stations currently but I can't easily add any more stations/wiring to this system. 

I can easily access the wiring where I would like to add more stations, am I able to pick up the earth and pump start wires, and add a 2nd sprite or spark controller there? 


Or has anyone got any ideas of how I can add more stations without running more wiring back to the master controller?

Thanks

Is there a version of the app that runs on a Windows PC or a Raspberry Pi?

I run all my home automation on a dedicated Raspberry Pi so it would be nice to keep everything in one place.

Skip watering based on soil moisture (Pixie + Whisperer)

cpline
Updated at 2026-02-02 17:04:38 UTC 
Hello! I would like to set up my system to skip watering if soil moisture reads above a certain threshold. I have the Whisperer and the Pixie, so would like the Whisperer to communicate with the Pixie, so the Pixie skips watering if soil moisture is high enough. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Watering timing conflict in app

Will
Updated at 2026-03-17 21:54:57 UTC 
The whisperer sensor combined with the app seems confused. The app tells me to water every day however the sensor tells me a date on when to water next that is usually 8+ days later. 

The app doesn’t seem to talk to itself as far as the reminders are concerned.


(Update 3/17: I still get the notification to water every day, and the sensor still gives me a date over a week away on average)

Feature Request

John Sirois
Updated at 2026-02-10 05:56:14 UTC 

Is there a way to give info to the app to dial in the soil moisture level?   I would like to measure soil moisture and input the info to my controller and the controller should adjust watering schedule. How about reminding user to check moisture level once in a while and input the info. Is this a thing? 

Thanks!

John

Valve finder - feature request

Monkeyzu
Updated at 2026-03-12 08:20:45 UTC 

Hi,

Any chance of adding a valve/solenoid finder feature? This would work similar to products like Chatterbox. The selected station for valve finding would switch the valve on and off quickly so that the rattle/chatter sound it makes can be used to find it. The main valve could be left closed.

Thanks

New whisperer

Jean Paul Lasserre
Updated at 2026-03-03 08:20:29 UTC 

Bought a new whisperer as an old one is no longer working.

REMARK : WHILE I LIVE IN A TEMPERATE AREA NONE OF MY WHISPERERS LASTS MORE THAN 26 MONTHS WHICH IS SURPRISING AS IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A CONSUMABLE.

Clicked as required first blinking blue light then blinking white light.

Went to sensors and see the dead old one, the working one but do not see the newly bought one.

Do not see either a + sign to add a new one.

What should I do ?
