Hi All,
My name is Mohammad. I just installed my Rachio 3 and couldn’t believe how easy it was. However, my zone 2 is not working. The wiring from my Toro has ground wire coming off from an antenna looking device on side of my house. Zone 1 Red wire works fine, Zone 2 White wire does not work and Zone 3 Red wire works fine.
Could the “antenna looking device” be some kind of rain sensor? Maybe include a picture if you can please? I am curious where the wires are going, specifically to the device. Was the old controller working on the three zones?
@Mohammad307 - it could be the wiring at the valve. Swap a working wire (one or three) with two and see if the swapped zone works.
Also, if one doesn’t have a multi-meter I’d invest in one as that will test the wire and connections out to the valve and back.
One can also just redo the wiring connections a the solenoid for zone two and use water proof wire nuts to finish the job.
Good afternoon! Just installed new solenoid for zone 2 and worked like a charm. System works awesome. Using smart watering system! Never again will I have to run downstairs half asleep and turn off the sprinklers when it rains. Best product I ever purchased!
