Hello Netro Support Team,

I am a user of the Netro system and I need assistance with my zone configuration.

Currently, I have a specific zone (named "Goccia") set up with a User Program (fixed days and fixed minutes). I do not want the Netro AI to change my watering duration or frequency.

However, I want the system to automatically skip my fixed program if it rains or if rain is predicted.

In my app settings for this zone, I see that "Smart Zone" is currently Disabled. My questions are:

1. If I enable "Smart Zone", will it overwrite my manual minutes and days, or will it only apply the "Rain Skip" feature to my existing User Program?

2. How can I ensure that the system follows my fixed schedule strictly, but still uses weather data to skip cycles during rain?

I want my manual program to be "Weather-aware" without becoming "AI-controlled".

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Good morning, if anyone can help me, I have two Netro control units installed 1 km from each other and they give me two different forecasts, both having the same weather portal, one irrigates it even with rainy days, while the other gives me the programming in 20 days.....

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?

Could you please ask Support to reply to my emails? The subject line of them is,"Whisperer 2 bad solar panel"

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. 

I have programmed my Netro to skip Tuesday’s but the controller waters anyway. How do I stop this?

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?

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.

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? 

Hi, I just bought the whisperer 2 and would like to have it as only sensor for the entire garden, however is allowed to have maximum 3 zones for sensor. Is there a way to link all the zones to it? I have 7 zones.

Thanks

I have some scheduled zones using programs and I'm seeing that the zones later in the program are being cancelled and not completing the scheduled program. What is causing the schedule to be overridden? It's a problem because those zones that are being skipped are not being watered at all. 

I added the Netro whisperer 2 soil sensor to my ficus pot. The sensor gives me contradictory messages. It says that next watering should be in one week but every night it sends a notification to 'water the ficus sensor's. What should I do? 

It seems like, from my communications with the support team, that the soil moisture indicated by Netro does not factor into sprinkling times other than understanding how sprinkling time changes soil moisture (essentially guesses soil type). I have had to very expensive weather stations, and both failed to accurately report rainfall in as little as three months. With religious cleaning of them (ladder climbing-dangerous) neither accurately reported rainfall for more than six months. My first station Accurite 5-1) was replaced at three months and I gave up and bought an Ambient Weather WS2902-C, which lasted less than a year. So….

Why not have the Whisperers determine actual rainfall- or better yet- make your next product the only digital rain gauge on the planet that actually works? Or, perhaps gen 3 of the Whisperer can have a rain gauge built in. When you get multiple Whisperers  per zone, working in the software, the soil moisture readings alone could make reported rainfall irrelevant. 

Thanks,

Kirk

P.S. The support team HAS to stop using the term “soil humidity”. It makes them seem like they don’t know the difference between a fluid (water= moisture) and a gas (vapor=humidity). The Whisperer cannot calculate evaporative likelihood and doesn’t know the air pressure above the soil, so it can only measure moisture, which would, to some extent, measure the influence of water vapor on the moisture, depending on how it was being measured. 

Hi Team,

I've setup my controller to skip 2 days water if more than 10 mm rainfall is reported.

I have local weather station: https://www.pwsweather.com/station/pws/KADAECOWITT

Which is reported 32 mm, smart zones are enabled , but controller won't skip for 2 days.

Could you please ?

Controller SN: 0cb815314670

I have three zones with Whisperer 2 devices that have been installed for some time. It to skip watering above 90% and water extra at 60%. Soil moisture is currently at 56% and to says it isn't going to wTer again for like 40 hours. What's up with that? There is only a 38% chance of rain, and that is .1 inches so that can't be it.

Hi, 

I have some concerne about the time range. I set the Smart schedule to water just from 5am to 10am. But the Smart program seems to override this control. How can i ensure it would be respected? 

I have one sensor that is controlling 5 zones, in the last few months it has rained for several days and the humidity recorded has always been 100%. For three weeks however it has not rained anymore and the soil has started to dry out and so has the garden, because the sensor continues to report 100% humidity skipping the irrigation cycle. How can I unlock the sensor humidity reading?

Hi there I use the netro smart feature and the whisperer. 

The smart schedule for zone 5 watered 28 minutes at 5am and the sensor measured 99% humidity.  Then it watered again at 6am... which is obviously a waste of water as the zone is already 100% humid. So it look like when the program starts it does not take into account the humidity again until the next run for that zone. 

For zone 5 I am using regular mode. Not the Deep or EPA. 

I also have the condition that 

- Sensor to report every hour

- skip watering if above 60%

- Sensor firmware 2.0.1

Sprite-12

I want to utilize automated rain delay feature.

If I have my 11 zones enabled for Smart Zone watering, the zones will water in a random order.

I need them to remaian in order 1-11. I cannot yet find a readon why.

Not much fun sitting on my lawn when a zone unexpectedly turns on.

If I use a manual program, then the rain delay feature cannot be used.

Is there a way to enable an automated rain delay in a manual program?

and/or

run the zones in an order when utilizing the Smart Zones?

And yes, most of my zones have the same environment settings

Hi 

I have some basic programs to water.  At the same time smartwater is enabled on zones?  

It seems the programs run - but smart water does not control the duration 

Is there a way to specify when watering evens should start but let the smart water control duration?
