Thank you for the response. I’ll test my solenoids for resistance. I thought of your suggestion about the solenoids needing to be cleaned except that they all worked an hour before on the old Imperial Valet system. The first thing I did was to trace my common and make sure I didn’t have a wiring issue but they’re all good. I kept a picture of my old system’s wiring and it matches perfectly to how I wired my Rachio. My first guess is that the Imperial Valet just has more amps to push to the solenoids. Question, have you seen some solenoids work with the Rachio and some solenoids not? Or are all solenoids pretty much the same with the same voltage / amps requirements and they all work the same? I’m really hoping I can just go buy more from Home Depot, plug them in, and away I go but somehow I have a feeling this is going to throw me for a loop. I’ll post again once I do the ohms tests.
