The rain sensors really seem to be hit and miss, all they are is a small cork and when it dries out it turns the system back on if it was ever off. Should show OFF in the window if the sensor turns off the system but I don't think mine has ever done this correctly, sensor switch has to be in active. If it rains a good rain I just turn it off manually for a few days, but then that only works if you're here.

Good suggestions and these two videos might help too:
