Longer watering per zone

Ruud
Updated at 2026-05-16 21:17:27 UTC 

I have a Netro Sprite (6 zones).


I would like to water one time a week, 4 hours per zone in one run. I am not able to make programmes and single runs longer than 60 minutes. 


Am I doing something wrong, or is this not supported?


Thanks for helping me out.

Sensores fallan

Updated at 2026-05-12 13:01:26 UTC 

Todos los sensores que he adquirido al cabo de dos años dejan de cargarse por el panel solar y son inservibles


Conectados por usb a una fuente de alimentación son capaz de emparejarse pero al desconectarse dejan de funcionar 


Enchufados a la corriente la luz única un bucle de rojo de menos a más parpadeo amarillo y parpadeo verde. Los puedo dejar cargando por usb 12 horas pero al desconectarlo se mueren


Alguna solución ?

programs - status sign

Lee Hill
Updated at 2026-05-08 06:45:32 UTC 

Developers, can you add some indication to list of programs to see which is enabled, which is not?

Instead of going into each and scroll to the very bottom to check 'enabled'.

I think of either being grayed out or adding a sign, whatever simplest may work.

thank you

programs - reordering

Lee Hill
Updated at 2026-05-08 06:40:14 UTC 

can anyone help how to reorder programs?

When edit turned on, I just cannot grab marks to the right to pull up or down. So what is that sign for (like > =)?

Mark on left at each program is to delete. That's okay.

The average temperature for a day is insufficient to calculate correct watering.

Richard
Updated at 2025-12-17 07:17:57 UTC 
When I have Whisperers, the system appears to calculate the average over the day about 4 degrees higher than for zones without Whisperers.

It seems that, even though the weather data is available throughout the day, that zones without sensors only use the forecast high and low.


This is insufficient to correctly adjust for the amount of watering required.


For example, today is 7 degrees C up to 36.

Whisperer zones average the temp at 26C while non-Whisperer zone calculate the average at 22C.


On these extremely hot days, the non-whisperer zones are under-watering much more than the Whisperer zones.


Also note that even the zones with Whisperers always under-water and needs custom programs or manual intervention.


This finally explains to me why zones are always under-watered.


Can the system please use multiple day readings for non-Whisperer zones and PLEASE provide more watering?

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.

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

Updated at 2025-10-20 22:59:45 UTC 

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?

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?

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":{}}]}

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
