Problem: Spark 16 controller stuck on "in communication"

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

API broken?

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":{}}]}

I have a hill that was terraced and replanted. I was told to run the circuit twice a day for 15 minutes for a month. Drip lines. Seems like my system doesn’t have that flexibility. Am i correct?

Seeding my lawn this week... How do I adjust the "New Plant" option for consistent watering?

Hi... since it's still fairly warm outside, I'd like to have the Zone water every 2 hrs for about 3 minutes just to keep the ground moisture up.

I'm not clear on how to do this?  Anyone?

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.

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?

Info function

Giuseppe
Updated at 2025-09-20 09:48:50 UTC 
Good morning, I installed a Sprite 6 controller, it works perfectly, but I have three questions: 1. How do I change the irrigation percentage without changing the watering minutes for all the zones each time? 2. When rain or wind is forecast, does the irrigation program still skip even if the smart function is not enabled? 3. When I start a zone in manual mode, for example to control the sprinklers, is it normal for there to be a long delay between pressing the Stop button and the actual interruption? Thanks.

Centralina non funziona

gsciurba
Updated at 2025-09-09 19:23:32 UTC 

Buongiorno,

ho riscontrato un problema con la centralina Netro Sprite-6.
Il dispositivo risulta online e sembra funzionare regolarmente, tuttavia non attiva nessuna uscita: né la master né le due zone configurate. Ho provato ad attivare manualmente tutte le zone, ma senza successo.

Ho effettuato alcune verifiche:

  • la tensione in uscita è sempre di circa 11 V AC su tutte le uscite;

  • la centralina è stata utilizzata pochissimo, solo con le zone master e 1–2;

  • non sono presenti segni visibili di bruciatura o danni hardware.

Da quanto riscontrato, sembrerebbe un problema software, poiché l’hardware appare in buone condizioni.

Resto in attesa di un vostro gentile riscontro e supporto.

Grazie per l’attenzione.

Cordiali saluti,
Giuseppe Sciurba

My system is connected to a 500 liter tank. If I turn on both zones, it empties in 13 minutes.

In the application there is no possibility to program the maximum irrigation time for each individual area. I want you to work at most 13 minutes!

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?

My whisperer used outdoor gave me an alert here thru the Netro app saying it has 19% battery remaining. What does it mean? Is the solar no longer working? Is there another way to recharge it or can the rechargeable battery be replaced?

How do I change the wifi network my Netro controller is connected too? I cannot proceed beyond step 2 from the instructions on the app. I get the message "Please connect to Wi-fi network "Netro_IRC_xxx."  However, the app shows that I am already connected!!
