The problem with wafer rain sensors in Florida is that 2 hrs. after a downpour, the intense heat dries out the wafers and the system is ready to water again. If you don't live her full time, you can't turn off your system manually for a day or two.

If the rain sensor is working properly it will shut off the system . There is a dial on the sensor that allows you to open or close the vents. Open all the way allows the wafers to dry out quicker and the system to run sooner after a rain. Closed all the way delays how soon the system will run after a rain. Sensors go bad after a few years and need to be replaced. The part is around $30
