If you have a rain sensor then the system will turn off when it has recently rained.
I recommend finding a neighbor to assist you or calling a professional if you are unsure how to operate the system. There should be online manuals you can google for your system. If you are handy around the home you will have no issues. Look at the grass often, if it is nice and green the system is probably working fine, if brown areas it could be a problem with sprinkler heads.
If you are south of 44, I can assist if you like to check the system. Pretty easy and quick to do. I used to work on sprinkler systems just after high school.

The sensor you mentioned doesn’t sense the water and stop the Sprinklers
I’ve driven through here and watch sprinkler heads running while it was pouring
It is alleged that there’s a sensor on the roof but was never shown to me
