Great asset to my smart home and easy to set up.
Set name: 6 Zones
I wanted a controller for my sprinkler system but didn't want to jump into a super expensive option. This controller fit my budget and has more than exceeded my expectations. The app is intuitive and the install was a breeze. Although we've been in the cool months and it hasn't watered very much it is smart enough to know that when it rains it doesn't water and I haven't had to touch it once since installing. It's addictive to check the app every day and see how the dynamic smart schedule has changed and is forecasting upcoming watering. Anybody wanting a smart controller for the sprinkler system can't go wrong with this one.. The design is attractive and didn't require me to hide it in a dark closet. Pairing with my wireless LAN was a snap. The Whisperer was a little more challenging but reading their help section and contacting their staff, solved my problem. I was amazed at the speed of the response and reply to my inquiry. Just remember to pair it with the GUEST Wireless on your router if your having difficulty. Once I did that I was up and running. I'm going to purchase a controller for my parents so that they don't have to worry about turning sprinklers on or off and let them enjoy their golden years with one less worry. ... show more

Fun and easy, great customer support
Set name: 6 Zones
I had this for months before attempting to install, which probably wasn’t smart, as the return policy went out the window. I had to have some sprinkler work done and kept putting it off through the winter months. Turns out I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Our old-school control panel was terrifying, as it was jimmy-rigged with a huge odd transistor, powered by an older type cut and split extension cord and large holes in the wall causing draft. I took pictures and video and sent it to Netro customer support. They were prompt and very helpful. Ended up not needed half the things from the old unit. Simplified the install. I now don’t have to worry about a fire hazard. It’s just sprinkler wires and a power cord. The unit itself is streamline and tasteful in appearance. The install instructions need one thing clarified. They don’t specify which side of the power cord line goes into which of two power slots in the unit. It made me worry thinking of wiring a lamp (I once did it backwards, not my fault the wires themself were marked backwards, ended up being a $300 electrical home fix) back to installing this, because it didn’t specify, and it was 9:30 at night, so couldn’t ask CS, I just hoped I was putting the correct side of wires in the correct slots. Hit the switch with a rubber pole, it was fine. Maybe it doesn’t matter either way, I haven’t asked. The app is pretty easy to understand. I chose to completely program myself, I don’t want to rely on the two weather app selections, they are never correct locally. Four apps & the news will all tell you something different. I would re-organize things in the app a bit better (might be personal preference) there are a couple things I found once and can’t remember where they were when revisiting to change setting - had to dig, but I can only imagine the makers will continue to improve, as everyone does. The timer/program has worked, on point, two days in a row. I checked with security camera just for fun. Saved myself several hundred dollars installing this myself (based on three local quotes) it was scary, but Netro customer support was a big help. Highly recommend this, especially if you live in a dry area.. you can flip the sprinklers on for a couple extra min a day when needed, even if in line waiting at the grocery store. Why not, right? I would share before and after images, but amazon won’t let me.. tick tick ... show more

Take time to learn the app
Set name: 6 Zones
This was super easy to install. It's pretty straight forward. Take a pic of the old one, then put the wires in the new one and the same places that came out of the old one. This one has no screws needed to attach the wires. Press the locking part then slide the wire in the hole. Release the locking mechanism, and the wire stays put. Just make sure you have enough slack in the wires. I had to lengthen one of my wires. It was 1/16th inches too short. Go figure. I would have just lowered it, but the conduit that was in place for the wires wouldn't let me lower it. I will say this, the app has an abundance of information. It looks very overwhelming at first. The initial setup asked some questions that I didn't know the answer too, but with a few Google searches, I found the info. Once the initial App is set up, you will need to get the on-line manual and read it. Installing the hardware took less than 20 min, but learning the app took 2 hours or so. I first had to figure out what zone was where. Then I had to tell the app what type of sprinkler head is used in that zone. That was where I had to use Google. Once that was done, I had to remove all the factory presets before I could set up the zones for the amount of watering I need for each zone. The preset cycle has to run it's course before you can delete it. I'm not sure why, but it does. If you manually stop it, it will just start back up again. We don't get a lot of rain in the summer, so I needed to set up the preset's for longer water times in the summer and shorter in. The fall, winter, spring, and so on. You can actually set up a 4 season schedule where it runs longer between this date and that date, and shorter for this date to that. It also will look at the local weather and skip watering on rainy days. Pretty nice. Over all, for the price this is well worth it. Just to not have to remember to go out to the garage to turn on or off the sprinklers is awesome. ... show more

Go with the Netro! Better than the rest!
Set name: 6 Zones
I absolutely love the Netro Smart Sprinkler! I did a lot of research and price comparison prior to making a purchase. I was down to a choice between RainMachine and Rachio when I stumbled upon Netro. Netro had exactly what I was looking for! It does all the smart watering things you expect (gathers weather forecast, adjusts schedules, plant database, etc.), but where it excels is with the optional plant sensor, and in customer service. The plant sensor can be used anywhere, and it is more of a soil/weather at your yard sensor. It is solar powered, so as long as you put it in a place that gets sun for at least an hour a day, you'll never need to replace a battery or charge it. Mine is in my front yard in the grass as this is my main watering zone. The sensor adds to what the Netro already does great by giving you actual weather for your house, not just your city. It has been raining/snowing here for the past 4 days and my sprinklers have not come on once, where they would have come on 4 times had I not upgraded to Netro. Their customer service is fantastic, and the company reached out to me prior to my install to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase, and to offer assistance, if I needed it, to do the install. I appreciate a company that stands behind their product like that. I did not need assistance with the install as the entire process is very straight forward and I had my old system down and the Netro installed and up and running in 10 minutes. The plant sensor took another 3 minutes, plus finding the right spot in the yard to stake it. Netro is building a database of local regulations regarding when you can or can't water. My area was not in the database when I installed, but there is a place in the app where you can submit missing regulations. You can also set your own regulations if you prefer, however, I suggest submitting your local area regs, if they don't already have them. I sent min in on a Saturday and they were uploaded and on my system by Monday. Amazing! Overall, I'm extremely happy with this system. I haven't had to adjust anything by hand (as I did before) and I haven't looked at the system to check on watering. I have looked at the system for data, which is just awesome if you are a data junky like me. ... show more

Mind Blown! Amazing Product! Bravo Netro!
Set name: 12 Zones
I purchased the Netro Smart Sprinkler Controller over the weekend, received it yesterday, and installed and tested it in about 15 minutes during my lunch break. The previous home-owner had two controllers: An older model for 6 stations and a relatively newer Rainbird model for 8 stations. Both of these units were used to control 7 stations. I have no idea why it was setup this way, but I had lost the ability to identify and test my zones because the buttons stopped working on both units. After a little bit of research, I discovered the Netro Smart Sprinkler Controller. The reviews were promising and I felt I had nothing to lose. My expectations were far exceeded with this purchase. Not only did I have the unit installed in minutes with zero previous experience, I was able to test every zone, customize the names for quick reference, and even select what is being watered--lawn, shrubs, trees, perennials, annuals, etc. down to the plant species. While walking around my yard and testing the system with my iPhone, I discovered a broken sprinkler--bonus! I also noticed that all local regulations were automatically reflected in the watering schedule. The Netro Smart Sprinkler Controller is going to pay for itself in short order. I'm looking forward to adding this unit Alexa in the future. To note, I received a nice thank you email from Netro after installing the product. I replied to Arlene and asked a question about the moisture monitoring that seems to be built-in. She replied right away! Evidently, the default moisture level is 75% and will adjust based on watering, soil, weather, and other indicators over time. However, you can add moisture monitors to the system if you so choose—not something I really need at this time. All-in-all, this is a very sleek, easy-to-use and install product. If you're in the market for a new controller, or even if you're not and you want to do your part to conserve our precious water, especially in California, the Netro Smart Sprinkler Controller is amazing. Finally, I wouldn't be going out of my way to write this review if I didn't believe this is such a great product. Netro is a startup company, but they are light-years ahead of the competition and I'm certain they will develop many more useful products utilizing smart technology as more people use the product and provide feedback. Bravo Netro! ... show more

Great smart system and absolutely OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!
Set name: 12 Zones
This smart sprinkler system is wonderful and, what makes it amazing and puts it at the top of list for me is the customer service, and I mean customer service that I didn't think even existed anymore! My town has water restrictions that are different than most (interval restrictions allowing watering only every 3rd day, which is different depending on the house number, and only during certain hours), which was not an option when creating a new water restriction in the program. I emailed customer service and got a response the same day (thank you so much Xi!!!!). Xi took the time and effort to research my town's water restrictions, ask me specific questions and then create the special water restriction just for my system. I cannot speak highly enough of the customer support I received. Just the fact that they have a setting for areas with water restrictions is wonderful as the manual sprinkler systems were so challenging to set up around odd restrictions and some of the smart systems do not offer this option that I could find in my research. 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! ... show more

Skeptic turned fanatic!
Set name: 12 Zones
Like many of the other reviewers who also bought the Sprite, I too was skeptical about this item. Installation was simple. Just to make sure it would work I sent a photo of the old controller wiring in an e-mail to their support asking for feedback, and they replied 45 min. later with a detailed message. Awesome! They say 15 minutes to install, and I am sure it is true - but it took me 30 minutes because my c-wire was connected to a rain sensor (which wasn't even working by the way) and I wanted to make sure its the c-wire. Looking back now, if my family or friends order this thing I will install it for them in maybe 10 min. tops. Turned it on - connected the app - walked around the house and messed with all 7 of my zones turning them on/off from my phone - oh the power at my fingertips - I remembered when I would have to run back to the controller to figure out which sprinklers are for what zone - ughh. I was able to find one broken sprinkler, one that needs to be adjusted, and a few that need some maintenance. After having fun with turning them on/off, and labeling each zone with a unique name - then came the real stuff. The app didn't find regulations or restrictions in my area (North Texas) but I knew them anyways. I put the restricted days and times, and viola - the app gave me a schedule within no time that even I couldn't say no to. I put the soil type for each zone (I know my house is sitting on clay), and viola (again), schedule readjusts! That is truly awesome. If it rained, is raining, or will rain, again, the schedule will adjust. If you don't like that, you can turn that feature off. I can go on and on about this awesome product, but here is why you need to get it and stop thinking about other ones like I was: -The controller has no buttons on it because there is no point in going to your garage/outside/wherever you put it to do the same thing you can do on your phone (or tell Alexa, btw, which I have done and it is awesome) -You can buy sensors and put them next to plants for unique watering schedules, and more - it is just like the ecobee and their temp. sensors - no other product has that (which I don't have by the way, but its nice to know its possible) -It is significantly cheaper than all other units that don't do as much as this I can go on and on, but I highly recommend this product. I thought I didn't need it - but after realizing how much water (and money) I could save by irrigating smartly, I went for it and as you can tell I am now a fanatic. ... show more

Give Rachio a run for it's money!
Set name: 6 Zones
I used to have a Rachio in my old house and when I moved into my new house, I was saddened to see the outdated sprinkler system. So I was tempted to buy another Rachio. However, I ultimately went with the Netro for the following reasons: 1. My new house actually has two systems - one that's 12 zones and another that's 6 zones. That fit the Netro specs perfectly! Rachio comes in 8 and 16 zone models so now I don't feel I'm wasting zones. 2. The price was cheaper than the Rachio. Who doesn't like saving money? :) 3. My new house has watering restrictions where I can only water on even days (since my house number is even). It was great to see Netro hooked into the water authority here and knew that right away. Trying to water every other day with the Rachio was a little annoying because you can only pick what days of the week you want to water so you would always inevitably end up watering two days in a row (or skip two days in a row). 4. Netro apparently comes with a plant database and a separate "Wisperer" unit that tracks sunlight, temperatures, and soil moisture. I have yet to use these features but it's nice to know they're there. One pleasant surprise was that this controller was smaller than I thought. I had actually purchased the Orbit outdoor box to go along with this because one of the old controllers was outside. Turns out I didn't need the recommended Orbit box because this unit fit perfectly inside the old box I had (see photo). I just had to take out the old controller, which came off easily at the hinge and reuse the weatherproof box. I was so great that I didn't need to unscrew and re-screw anything. I can tell you there's no way the Rachio would have fit in there. So with that said, here are some of the improvements I'd like to see: a) It would be great to see have some manual controls on the controller itself. Right now the only way to control it is on your phone. There are cases when my landscaper might need to adjust something and to be honest, I'm not sure how tech savvy he is. b) The user interface can use a little improvement. I don't find it super intuitive how to create my own schedule. I find myself fighting with what the controller wants to do based on the weather. c) Better diagnostics. For whatever reason when I first hooked up everything, none of the sprinklers were actually turning on. So I had to take out all the wires and redo everything from scratch. And it worked this time. Shouldn't this unit at least be smart enough to know when wires are plugged into it or not? So if I want to turn on zone 1 and there's nothing plugged into zone 1 (from it's perspective), shouldn't it know that? d) Alexa integration. Like I said, I have two of these units. Alexa only supports commands such as "Alexa, ask Netro to water zone 1 for 5 minutes". But zone 1 of which unit? I can easily switch between units on the app but with Alexa, it seems there's no good way to do this (or at least not that I found). Other than that, the controller does it's job and I'm happy with it! ... show more
