Netro Smart 6-Zone WiFi Sprinkler Controller, Weather aware, Remote control, Compatible with Alexa

Easy to install and easy to set up, what’s not to like? The wiring is straight forward and getting set up to the app takes barely a minute, the app is also simple to use. Fantastic stuff. X

Prima apparaat. Snelle levering!

I bought this controller to replace an old, dumb Rain Bird controller that had stopped working. I installed it yesterday, and it took me about 30 minutes to get it installed and setup. The unit is sleek and attractive. Yes, I know, it just sits in my garage where no one else will see it, but it illustrates the thoughtfulness that Netro has put into this product. I like that the faceplate is held on by magnets which makes it easy to revove. The connectors for the wires were much easier to use than the ones on my old system. I also appreciated the included bubble level. Setup was easy, and the instructions were adequate. I did have to reboot my router during setup, but this is something I've had to do while installing other smart devices. Once the router restarted, the Netro was connected, and I could controller it from the app. The (Android) app is intuitive and easy to use. I setup my zones as Smart Zones, so I have not used the manual scheduling feature yet. If your schedule does not show up immediately, just be patient. It took a little while for mine to show up. The only thing I don't like about the app is that it doesn't auto-rotate. This is not a big deal on my phone, because the layout might not look good in landscape on a smaller screen. However, I also use the app on my tablet, and it would work fine in landscape on a larger screen. I suggested this feature to customer service. This leads me to my final thoughts. As others have mentioned in their reviews, Netro customer service is outstanding. They contacted me on the same day that I setup my account to make sure everything was working correctly. I had one question about the schedule not updating, and they responded quickly. This seems like a great company, and I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this product.

Replaced a functioning Hardie irrigation rain dial that I had had for at least 20 years. Still worked no issue but did not have any app, or ability to control remotely. Value for money this was very easy to install, configure and use. Excellent job. An area for improvement is that they only leave 2 feet of wire from the plug to the controller!! As most people would mount the controller at shoulder height and the plug is at the floor level, this is a really stupid decision by someone. Need a longer wire. Also the AC block is bulky and sticks out at the outlook. They should have one that lays flat against the wall as it is likely behind tires or something in the garage. 6 zones is a bit small (8 zones should be the “small” size) but it still worked as one can connect at least 4 zones to one zone controller block. (One can’t independently time the second ones on the same block but if you have a zone that only controls a small drip or a single spray on the flower it may not be critical). Would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for these oversights.

Après quelque temps de fonctionnement je suis satisfait. Les fonctionnalités sont riches, facile à installer. Il est juste dommage qu'il ne soit pas vu par Alexa comme un objet connecté, mais bon ça fonctionne quand même via Alexa.

Bought this and installed in Sep-2022 and is still running well. I really liked the option to control the irrigation remotely via the App on my mobile, and response control is excellent. I was away overseas last month (Jan - Summer) and knowing there is heat wave coming in, I was able to turn on the irrigation and get some watering done. Saved the plants !! Highly recommended for ease of control, installation and simple but effective device. Thank you Netro !!
