So I have an Everydrop meter wired in to the system.
Long story short I have a few extra wires over there, (all of which don’t have resistance when hooked together) but when I hook up to the flow meter the flow meter loses power.
This is echod by a volt meter so it appears to be the controller as there is continuity when the wires are hooked together.
Please advise, thanks.
I have a rachio 3 - 8 zone.
How do you have it connected? If you can, please include the photos of the setup.
Flow meter should be connected to S1 or S2 and 24V- terminal, it should also be added to the controller via app / website. Go to controller settings and choose flow meter as an accessory. You can find more detailed info here:
Wired flow sensor compatibility and installation (rachio.com)
Finally, what do you mean that your flow meter looses power? How was it powered prior to Rachio hookup?
