Installation

Can I install Sprite outdoors? Is Sprite waterproof?

Sprite is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor use, you will need an enclosure to cover both the controller and the power adaptor. Netro does not manufacture or sell these enclosures but you can find them by searching for “sprinkler controller enclosure” on Amazon.

Do I need to change my current sprinkler system to use Sprite?

No. Sprite works with your existing 24 Volt sprinklers (the pumps, valves, pipes and nozzles). You just need to replace or install the controller.

What if I have more than 12 zones?

The Netro app is capable of managing multiple controllers. You can link two controllers together. You will need to have at least two “common” wires so that each controller gets one. If there is only one “common” wire, it needs to be connected to both controllers by using a wire splitter.

Can I add multiple devices to my account?

You just need to add each device in the Netro app, and once they are all setup, there will be a dropdown menu on the home page where you can navigate between the controllers.

Wi-Fi Connection

What happens if the Wi-Fi connection is lost, for example the router or the internet service is down?

Sprite will continue to execute the pre-loaded schedules for up to one month.

Will Sprite re-connect to the Wi-Fi automatically after a power outage?

Sprite will re-connect to the Wi-Fi automatically after a power outage. Also, all the zone settings and watering schedules are saved on the cloud server, so you won’t lose anything.

Can I use Sprite when I am away from my home Wi-Fi, for example on vacation?

Yes, as long as your phone/tablet has access to the internet, you can control and monitor your Sprite.

Cloud Services

Is there any extra cost to use the Netro cloud service?

No, it’s free to use the Netro cloud service unless you purchase the subscription version.

Is there a battery backup in case you lose power for the zone settings?

All the settings and watering schedules are saved in the cloud. Sprite does have a battery but that is only for resuming the system clock.

Watering Schedules

Is it possible to create a manual schedule?

Yes. There are three ways to create a schedule: 1) Enable smart zone for automatic schedules (weather based) 2) Add user programs for fixed schedule (cycle based), for example, once every 5 days or every Tuesday and Friday 3) Manually turn on and off the sprinkler using the remote control feature

How does Netro determine when to water?

Netro tries to water in the early morning when evaporation is minimal and water pressure is higher. Netro minimizes watering in the middle of a day because the sun will evaporate water before it can soak into the soil. Netro also safeguards your plants and your sprinkler system. Watering will automatically be disabled when temperatures are very high to protect your plants and eliminates night watering, frequently the cause of soggy lawns which attract disease. The winterization feature disables watering during cold temperatures entirely.

Weather Data

Where does Netro get the weather data?

User can select from multiple weather providers. Currently we support Dark Sky, OpenWeatherMap and AccuWeather.

How accurately does Netro determine the rainfall? Is it at a zip code level or from a weather station nearby？

Netro’s weather data is based on your address. We obtain weather data from world’s leading provider which monitors the weather conditions for any place specified by the exact latitude and longitude. The service provider collects raw data from many sources, including all major weather stations nearby, and uses professional models to predict weather for your address. Typically, the weather data used by Netro is more accurate than the data from just one single weather station.

Watering Regulations

How does Sprite know what the water regulations are?

Netro collects water regulations from governments and water companies, and automatically applies those regulations for you based on your address, e.g. zipcode, city.

What if Netro cannot find the watering regulation in my area?

Our database may not be able to cover all areas and all rules. You are welcome to report missing regulations to our systems and we will manually apply them to your account and also the users in your neighborhood. You can always add your own restrictions in settings->restrictions.

Sensors

Does Sprite work with rain sensors?

Sprite is not designed to support the traditional rain sensors because those rain sensors do not forecast rainfalls. For example, you usually do not need to water your lawn if the rain is coming tomorrow but your rain sensors will not tell you that. Netro uses more advanced technology including real-time weather information that is aware of the rainfall in the past and also in the future. For even more accurate watering schedules, Netro offers wireless moisture sensors which measures exactly how much water your plants need. We believe these innovations built with Netro are changing the way of home irrigation.
