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

Been using this for a couple seasons and realized I should write a review. When something actually work well and lasts, we need to promote the product to push out the designed obsolesence products. I replaced my commercial priced hunter controller with this for 1/3 of the cost after it broke after one year and this is much, muuuuch better. Really easy to install, program via the phone app which works awesome, I go through the cycle of 6 zones for 5 mins but 4x (20 minutes total) so it gives a nice soak in time. I can run a cycle/zone or cancel from anywhere in the world for as long as I want, it’ll factor in wind and rain if you want. It’s as easy or as customizable as you want it to be. Want basic? Done. Want intricate and complicated, it can do it. Setting up a sprinkler head? Run the zone standing in front of you without having to go inside and to start/stop. A great product, if you need a controller-buy it.

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.

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 !!

Hace casi 2 años que lo compré y programé y, a día de hoy, sigue perfecto, sin problema de funcionamiento. Es muy sencillo de programar y/o de cambiar programa, la app es muy (pero que MUY) intuitiva y fácil de configurar. Permite varios programas, por ejemplo, un día regar 5 minutos en todas las zonas , otro día otros 3 minutos en unas zonas concretas, o cada día con diferente tiempo por cada zona, o cada 2 días, cada x días sin solapar programas, si llueve lo puedes parar... adaptable a cada caso. Es muy intuitivo y que sea programable/ modificable a distancia es una gozada para segundas residencias o para primeras viviendas si estás ausente. Lo recomiendo al 100%
