Total water volume restriction

Kyle Giacomini
Updated at 2025-10-08 13:12:52 UTC 
I'm curious if there is a way to restrict or cap the calculated volume of water used daily for smart watering schedules. For example, my well produces about 3500 gallons a day or close to 4.5 CCF. I have a storage tank where the water is stored. Is there any logic that can be added to the smart watering calculation or scheduling to account for a daily water volume budget?

Corrado
Updated at 2025-10-08 13:48:10 UTC 

I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Netro Spark 16 controller. It connects correctly to Wi-Fi and appears online in the app, but when I try to start irrigation manually, the app just stays on "in communication" and nothing happens.


The problemm is with the 4g Vodafone/HoMobile provider as yout mentioned in https://netrohome.com/en/forum/posts/4052


I have already asked several time the update for the device, but nobody reply me

i wrote also to Netro support email: support@netrohome.com  --> nobody reply me.


What should i do to have this update?


Please

Hi, it’s the end of our watering season where I live, the city just shut off the water for the year. Any guidance on what to do in the app to have the system off for until spring?  

Is it a good idea to unplug it for the season or no?

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

Watering timing conflict in app

Will
Updated at 2026-02-05 21:55:34 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.

Skip watering based on soil moisture (Pixie + Whisperer)

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.

Old whisperer

Jean Paul Lasserre
Updated at 2026-01-20 10:38:33 UTC 

My two whisperers stopped due to lack of sun. The new one started communicating again.

The old one started communicating but then stopped while the battery was still above 90%.

Seems a communication problem 

Blue light blinking turned quickly to white light blinking.

After blinking a few minutes it stopped but is not connected to the App.

Tried putting it ON close to controller and then close to WiFi router, the result is the same, no connection.

Is the whisperer dead ? Should I buy a new one ?

Thanks

API broken?

Tortfeaser
Updated at 2025-11-21 04:58:13 UTC 
Hi, I can get my Netro controller info using:

curl -v https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/info.json?key=MYAPIKEY

(where MYAPIKEY is a key from the user account page)

but when I try to update soil moisture data with:

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"key":"MYAPIKEY","moisture":100}' "https://api.netrohome.com/npa/v2/set_moisture.json"

I get an error about an invalid key:

{"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","tid":"1763700896_KpmY","version":"2.0","token_limit":0,"token_remaining":0,"last_active":"2025-11-21T04:54:56","token_reset":"2025-11-22T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":1,"message":"Invalid key: ","params":{}}]}

Wind preference for drippers

Troy Robertson
Updated at 2025-10-17 06:46:57 UTC 

Hey,

Is it possible to individually choose preferences for wind speed on a zone by zone basis? I've got some zones that are connected to sprayers which I would like to keep on a wind speed cutout and but most zones are on drippers which I would like to water independent of the wind speed.
