How does the rain delay work?

There is no 'rain' delay as there is no rain sensor. It is a button you push manually if you want to delay watering for a day. I've never used it but don't need it.

I never used rain delay functio but it works so nice that I purchased a second one. The first I purchased is working continously from may 2014 with the same batteries.

I have not used the delay timer yet, so I am sorry I cannot be of help on this one.

It does block rain somewhat...it's not solid and if the rain is blowing towards the the shade the deck gets wet within a foot of the shade. Hope that helps.

According to the instructions, it has a random delay from 2 to 30 minutes of the programmed times . I am not using this feature, so I don't know how well it works.

I'm not sure as i've shed by the entrance so don't think rain water can get to the push button. Btw the battery opens up from the back, so don't think water can damage the push button. The bell works like a charm.

Rain tends to pool to lowest point and drips through. So I guess the taunter it is the less pooling it would do. Rain does not come through consistantly all over.

The sensor that comes with this unit is wired. I found it not to work correctly with rain, although I think it sensed low temps OK and switched off the controller. I've had my unit for a couple of years. This year I replaced the wired rain sensor with Rainbird's wireless rain/freeze unit and it now controls and shuts off for rain. Not to say that you won't have a unit that shuts off when it rains. If I saturated the disks myself the wired unit would shut off the controller. However, even in pouring rain (like an inch and hour or more), I'd still find the controller running. This unit isn't exactly designed for the wireless units and so it took a bit of jerry rigging with the common wire etc. to get the replacement wireless to work correctly.

Haven't noticed any delay issues, it works great for me! Just make sure both components are charged. I use it while on the treadmill.

No sensor-this is how to use rain delay: When in AUTO , press + button for 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs. Screen will flash between clock and hours remaining before programmed cycle resumes. To remove rain delay, turn dial to OFF and then back to AUTO.

Get under it and play with it, that is the fun way to get an answer! LOL!!! Seriously, if the lever is forward and the button is up, you get rain only; lever forward and button down gives water from rain and hh; lever left and button down water is from hh only; lever left and button up gives you nothing so you might just skip showering!

We are using 2 and have a third one waiting to be installed, planning on ordering one more. It does work in the rain, have not had any issues with it.

No it only works in the daylight. Sometimes when a big cloud goes over it will turn off.

It should take less than a day, but my umbrella came with the switch 'on' already, so you have to turn it 'off' for a few hours, then try turning it back on

You are out in the elements. The rain cover does help but if outside long enough, it will get wet.

i don't understand the question. it activates when your water timer is set to turn your sprinklers on.

I have not noticed any delay. I have another speaker outside and they both seem to be in sync.
