How does Netro calculate watering mm

Hi Bayoule,


Netro estimates the flow rate based on the sprinkler type and here are some typical flow rate: 

MISTER: 2 inch/hour
FIX_SPRAY_HEAD: 1.5 inch/hour
BUBBLER/ROTOR_HEAD: 1.0 inch/hour
ROTARY_NOZZLE: 0.7 inch/hour
ROTARY_EMITTER: 0.5 inch/hour



If it is not accurate, you can adjust the flow rate though customized mode. Please go settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode.


Thanks,

Wency

Smart Zone Scheduling Problem

19
Wency Pan
Updated at 2022-05-24 07:45:59 UTC

Hi Ion,


It's probably your device has not been watering for a long time so the moisture is low, this is why you see longer watering duration as it needs more watering amount to increase the moisture level. Your zones are watered multiple times a day as you might selected clay which accepts water slowly, often as little as 1/4 inch per hour and that is why we break the watering into many pieces to avoid water runoff.

If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic, which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule. (For Netro watering controller, please go to Settings->Zones->Smart Zone; for Netro Pixie timer, please go to Settings->Garden->Smart Zone)



Thanks,

Wency

Hi Emilio,


You could try the expectation mode to see if it works better. Netro's default threshold is 5.08mm(0.2 inch).

Hi Shirley, 

Could you please send us email to support@netrohome.com? We will have our technician look into this issue. 

Please make sure your router is turned on and has a signal of at least 2 bars on your phone at the location where your timer is installed. The timer only connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Hi Cheryl,

 

Thanks for your request and I have forward it to our R&D. We will add minute limits constraints and improve this feature in the future release. 

 

As a workaround, you can choose "customized" mode to adjust watering by increasing the flow rate of your sprinklers, you can set the value of  flow rate to the highest level, in this way, each watering duration will not exceed 10 mins.

Please go settings->zones->specific zone number->smart zone-enabled->Mode.

 

Thanks,

Netro Support

Hi Daniel,

Could you please let us know your unit LED Light status? Could you please try the below steps to do the reset and let us know the result?

1.Power off the device(unplug the power adapter)
2.Wait for 2 seconds, replug the power back in
3.Wait for 3 minutes for the device to start up
4。Press the reset button for less than 1 seconds to do a soft reset (use a pin insert to the RST hole button, when you feel a "click" release the button)
5.Wait for 5 seconds. This should set the light to slow blinking. Then you can go reconnet the unit to your home wifi.

Please go to the Netro app -> settings-> controller -> change wifi network/password.

Thanks
