There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As for the sprinkler itself, set up took 5 minutes or less (installation and linking it to my smart phone). When I first starting setting up the zones I set up a schedule as I did not see a smart schedule populate (or was simply messing with it before it had a chance to set up a smart schedule) so I set up a watering schedule. Doing this created 2 sets of watering that I later had to go back and remove. I guess my eagerness and excitement of setting up the system caused the extra effort but maybe a window or pop-up to notify the user that a smart schedule will be created and/or a notification that a smart schedule has been created would be beneficial.
The only other thing I found was that I had to play with the settings for a little while after my 2'x10' strip of lawn got 30 minutes of watering to figure out that there is an option to set the square footage of each zone so a smaller sized zone doesn't get the same amount of water as the larger zones as the location of this setting is not in a place I would have originally thought to look. Now that I know it is in the advanced settings within the schedule preference it was easily modified. I would recommend to the company that this be a part of the initial setup process or locating somewhere more prominently than within the schedule itself.
I also had one incidence where I manually stopped the watering but the sprinklers did not respond (they continued to water despite the system saying they were off). I was able to fix the issue with a little more playing (I turned on a manual schedule and then turned that off and that fixed the problem). I cannot say if this issue was the system or a side effect of my playing with the schedule though so can in no way fault the smart system for that.
I look forward to many years of watering that I don't even have to think about and am really excited to receive the 2 sensors I pre-ordered to complete my system and make the most of this smart sprinkler system, especially since I live in an area where water is almost more expensive than gold!
Having said that, it is a great controller, simple installation, intuitive app and just works. I replaced an Orbit that started suffering from the 10 second run problem.
I was concerned that the wifi signal might be an issue because it is low down at the end of my driveway about 150ft away from my Eero router, but no problem there.
Very pleased with the results.
Hardware
I have no any objection on the hardware. It is compact and light, at least half of the weight than my Orbit Control Star 9 zone controller (#57258). Installation is straightforward, you click the wires that goes to the water valves by pushing a tab on top of the terminal. One thing I have noticed is that the tabs in Netro are extremely stiff to press by nails compared to my Orbit. Use a screw driver will save you a lot of troubles. The packaging is great. However, very little information is included. You got a piece of card showing how to install on the wall, download the app, etc.
App
This is where Netro falls short. I felt I am using a bare bone app (indeed, it is version 1.3.1). Worse, the setup is not as smooth as I would like to have. Like typical internet connected device, to connect Netro to the wifi, first you select Netro as your wifi access point and the app will guide you to a window where you can select your router and then enter the router password. First time I tried, I got a screen of “your Android phone is not compatible with the Netro_xxx WiFi network. Please try with different phone…” After a few twists by disabling the cellular data from my cell phone, I finally got it to the WiFi selection windows and finished the setup.
This experience is so similar to the beta version of Ring Doorbell.
My Netro App crushed several times during the setup, especially when I enter the information of each zone and plants and searching for other information. Say, you are googling for the names of your plants so you can put the information in. Once you left Netro and do google search, it automatically reset itself back to its home page. Information on what you have entered before you google are gone. You have to repeat key-in the information. This is very annoying. Not to mention if you have received email notification, txt, etc. during the setup... Good luck with that.
Netro also only allows you put one plant species per zone in the information box. This seems odd, as NO one is planting ONLY one kind of plant per location. Wouldn’t it be nice you can put in all your plants info, and the app then calculate the average water needed?
I also found Netro tends to water too much. Way too much! Fortunately, you can change the parameters (% EPA) to force it to water less. But I wonder if it is using the information correctly, then I don't need to these extra steps. Here in California, water is like gold. I definitely do not want my water bill go up.
Although Amazon does not sell the remote sensor, Whisperer, I think it is worthy to mention here. One strong selling point of Whisperer is that it can sense the moisture, thus you have more accurate information of how much water needed for irrigation. First thing I notice is that Whisperer needs be charged before giving you the battery level. Also, solar charging takes forever. After three days under the sun, it is still only 39% charged. Interesting speaking enough, my whisperer initially never gives information beyond 10% even I have soaked it pretty wet. After emails to Netro’s tech support, I have realized that I have to take the V-shaped plastic edge out. Now the Whisperer works like a champ.
Overall, based on the price (it is $145 for 12 zone. Compared to Rachio or RainMachine, you are saving about 100 bucks), I think it is an ok buy. Unlike my Orbit Control Star (I got it about 79 bucks), you can remote-control your sprinklers on and off, and you have individual programs tailoring to each zones. But does it worthy to spend double than my Orbit? For me, it is justified but its App leaves me wishing for more.
I do wish the app can be more stable. It crushes 3 out of 5 times. Maybe its App will be more polished in the future…

I was greatly rewarded on that gamble - the controller was very easy to install, a diagram to map the wires from my previous controller to the new Netro one made it an easy switch (improvement suggestion: include some wire labels to wrap around the wires to label them). Easy pressure switches made it easy to just push the wires in. No electrician skills required. I mounted the controller on the wall, plugged it in, downloaded the app, I was up and running in 20 minutes.
The app works great, I created my watering zones, added photos, set the approximate size, whether it was grass or flower beds, location (used for weather forecasts) and gave it a test run. Very easy.
I immediately saw the benefit - the app uses the weather forecast and automatically skips a sprinkler session if rain is upcoming, or if it's rained recently. I'm no longer watering when it's raining out and it saves a lot of water. The controller will pay for itself quickly.
Io l'ho fatta installare all'elettricista quindi non so dirvi se sia semplice o meno, quello che posso dire è che l'app è intuitiva e ben fatta cosi come le gestione dei programmi.
Ve la consiglio ad occhi chiusi.
Da ich erst kürzlich die Wege im Garten neu habe pflastern lassen, habe ich die Pflasterer gebeten, PE-Rohr unter die Wege zu legen. Mit einer Magnetventilbox sind nun 3 Bewässerungskreise mit 10 Versenkregnern entstanden.
Und nun kommt der Bewässerungscomputer ins Spiel. Der Anschluß an die Ventilbox war ganz einfach. Der Computer sitzt regengeschützt im Fahrradschuppen. Das Schöne ist, ich brauche mich um nichts mehr zu kümmern. Der Computer ist per WLAN mit meiner eigenen Wetterstation verbunden und weiß also ob und wieviel es geregnet hat und stellt seine Bewässerung darauf ab. Natürlich kann ich per App auch zusätzliche Bewässerungszeiten einstellen, muss es aber nicht. Der Computer zeigt mir die nächste Bewässerungszeit an und bewässert dann morgens um 6 Uhr. Man kann seine Bewässerungskreise selbst benennen und die Art der Bepflanzung einstellen. So wird der Rasen weniger bewässter als z.B. das Gemüse. Toll, ich brauche mich wirklich um nichts mehr kümmern, nur das Druck auf der Leitung ist.
Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.
