Smart Sprinkler Controller 6 Zones Sprinkler Timer App-Based Irrigation Controller for Garden Lawn 2.4GHz WiFi Weather Service Plant Database APP Community Rain Skips Compatible with Alexa

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

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.
