I have the same problem. I went to Ace Hdwr to buy a replacement sensor, but the guy there told me it was a waste of money. He said these sensors can't handle the Florida heat will fail in a year or so. Asked if there wasn't something better and he said he didn't know of any that would hold up in our heat. Right now I monitor the weather and simply turn off the irrigation when appropriate.
