I still have my original controller, but I disconnected the black and green wires, which disables the rain sensor and the solar sync function. In my opinion, these functions are worthless. I set the controller manually.

I still have the original controller. I have an on/off switch for the rain sensor but I leave it on. If it works great we won’t water if it rains and if it doesn’t work then the sprinklers turn on. Not sure what you gain by disconnecting the wires. I’m interested to know.
