I found the correct Hunter Solar Sensor, and the system is now working.

So I have a left over Hunter MiniClick, which I paid $36.16 on 9/15/2016, that I would like to sell for $20. I cannot return, as I cut the wire when I installed it. If you have a system that just uses a contact type sensor, this could be a good deal.
Yes the rain sensors last about two years. The cork inside of them deteriorate to the point where it will not work properly. It is required by Florida law that each home has one with the automatic irrigation system.
