FAQ


1. What's the difference between "Netro" and "NetroHome" skill?

The "Netro" skill is deprecated and will not be supported later. It was developed to support English only with limited commands. For customers using "Netro" skill, please migrate to the new "NetroHome" skill.

 

2. Can I specify zone by its name?

No. Alexa has high failure rate to identify zone name. Please specify zone by its index, e.g. zone one, zone two.

 

3. What if I have multiple controllers?

Unfortunately, Alexa doesn't support multiple devices. The NetroHome skill controls your first Netro controller. If you have multiple Netro irrigation controllers, please try with Google Home.
