Netro Sprite-6-INT Smart Irrigation Sprinkler Controller

Cliente Amazon: Quizas criticar a App que está un poco liosa al principio. Poco intuitiva. Pero una vez la menejas perfecto.

Gwenaël: Ce n’est pas parfait, l’app n’est pas tout à fait traduite mais ça fait ce dont j’ai besoin: arroser intelligemment.
Le rapport qualité prix est incroyable en comparaison avec les marques

Daniel: Il prodotto oltre ad esser di ottima qualità e semplicità d'uso ha una caratteristica fondamentale per le app odierne: la community! Per qualsiasi tipo di problema o dubbio è presente un forum in grado di soddisfare tutte le esigenze dell'acquirente. Consigliato.

gni8674: Für meinen kleinen Garten mit nur 2 Kreisen wollte ich keine Unsummen ausgeben weshalb ich mich für dieses Produkt entschieden haben. Lieferung schnell, Einrichtung easy und funktioniert einfach. App ist übersichtlich, mit etwas mitdenken und ausprobieren kommt man gut durch. Ich verwende sie auf Englisch.
Bisher hätte ich nicht anders manuell gesteuert. Bin begeistert, macht seinen Job besser als erwartet, Kaufempfehlung!

specialed: What I really like about this controller is that even though once setup it is quite automatic it still allows flexibility. Specifically you can easily block out days or time of day and even better for "sprinkler nerds" you can adjust how much rainfall it thinks the yard got. This is handy when say there was a local popup shower that wasn't recorded by the local weather service. I was already tracking rainfall with a rain gauge so this was fairly easy to do. Once you put in the rainfall amount you will see it adjust schedule. You only have a day or two window for this. I have a relatively large yard and the water bills can get quite high in the summer so anything to reduce usage is helpful.

Overall the user interface is fairly intuitive. It definitely is a big learning curve going from a traditional schedule based controller. Over the summer watering months I used about the same amount as previous years I but will say the lawn never looked better. Also it waters each zone a fairly short amount of time, even less if you enter a slope. So, for a given run it will "round robin" through the zones. This gives more even watering on the clay soil here. Hopefully it will not wear...

Nunya: UPDATE :-
Bumping up to five stars as they implemented two critical changes I submitted via the community page in the app. They have Weather Underground working again, so I was able to link my weather station! For those without their own weather station, they added a feature to correct rainfall reported by services like darksky. Major accomplishment!

Reliable. They ditched weather underground, (which sucks) as I have invested in a weather station, and Netro used to get the rainfall right from my yard. I would pay for that integration. They use DarkSky, which isn't bad, but the rainfall numbers from DarkSky are not as accurate. Would love to be able to see what it thinks the rainfall has been, and have the option to adjust it if not accurate. Not asking much, but they really don't seem to be focusing on the app. They are focused on the hose controller now, maybe it will improve.

Ernie Sharp: 1 The system works by downloading the weather forecast for your area from an online provider. There have been several times where there was rain forecast, so the Netro didn't water. Then, it didn't rain. I contacted the manufacturer because I have a personal weather station on my roof, but there is no way to incorporate that information.
So I decided to get the Whisperer sensors. After all, those sensors were the main reason why I chose Netro over the Rachio. You can only get them direct from the manufacturer. Four sensors (one for each zone) cost $200 plus shipping. If you are using the weather sensing mode, the sensors don't make the system water, all they do is stop the system from watering if the lawn is too wet. If you are using the sensors to determine when to water, then the system doesn't take weather into account. This is a problem:

My lawn died while I was away on vacation, and it was Netro's fault. Let me explain. The system used to use Wunderground's weather predictions to determine when your lawn would be watered. They eliminated that, and began using Dark Sky. The problem lies in Florida's weather. Anyone who has ever been to Central Florida knows that we...

Cory: I was able to replace my old, traditional sprinkler timer with the Netro Sprite really easily, in all probably took 20 minutes, most of which was trying to find my drill to mount to the wall.

The app was easy to use and made set-up a breeze. Did a test run and was giddy when the zones turned on from a touch on my smartphone.

I'm most interested in how well this will do with "Smart" scheduling. So far, it seems to be incorporating the weather forecast. While it hasn't run off the smart schedule just yet, my smart schedule was automatically changed, when, I presume, rain was forecasted on the same day it was going originally going to water. Super smart. I will try to keep this updated on how it performs in its ability to schedule around and to weather, and how good my lawn and plants do.
