Every 1-2 weeks I notice my installed Rainmachine is offline, and have to go press the reset button on this box to turn it back on. Anyone know why?

Probably an actual ground fault. Any moisture in there? Perhaps from an overspraying sprinkler in that area? Consider rewiring (by an electrician) and/or relocating the box.

Sounds like the GFI inside is getting tripped? You could replace it with a standard GFI from the box hardware stores to see if you got a faulty one - or check all your electrical connections to make sure they're not getting wet or shorting. I have installed dozens of these and rarely see the GFI trip (usually only after power issues).

Same answer here, the default is off. I have mine attached to my shop vac, where it works great by the way.

This lmachine is wonderful, but if you dont want to have trouble with it, check out if there is enough water in the tank before usd it...If not you'l be worry and get upset that the machine is broken or out of order...To resolve the problem, just put it of and detach the cord behind for 2 minutes and replug it,,,,Then everything will be fine !

I had the problem once, it was after I first time linked to the internet and a software upload happened. I unplugged and left it for the day after frustration of trying everything to get it to turn on. Later that day or evening plugged back in and it came on, notified me of a software upgrade, and has been great since.

I have had repeated power failures since installing the Hydrawise. Assuming your Wifi is back online... there is nothing you need to do to regarding re-initialization.

It depends when it's resetting. Has it been on for a while, or does it just randomly reset?

Electrical problem? Or water build up? If water build up try some "RainX" (at auto partsstore)...

I believe there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..

With ours, which we just received 1/25/14, it "flushed" fine, but in the back there is a removable panel with a wire and connector. We had to attach the connector to activate the "sings when wet" feature. I imagine they did that to address the problems some experienced with it singing randomly (so people can deactivate it if it was annoying or scared anyone).

I'm not sure what might be wrong with your machine, I can only tell you that mine worked the the first 4-5 times I used it and then did what yours is doing. I even bought new arrays thinking our hard water may have ruined them but it has still never worked. Mine also had no warranty no return address or any helpful instructions. I personally feel like it was a not so cheap piece of junk. Sorry I can't help you with it. Hope you have better luck than I did.

May sound overly simple and you probsbly did these things.. but make sure u have the volume up on the controller. I have mistakenly turned it off or down and didn't realize it. Other than that make sure it's connected to the computer. If still not working you should contact manufacturer or amazon to rerurn. Hope you get it fixed. It's a great system.

I had a switch that worked most of the time. Once in a while it would "stick" and a small tap on the side of the unit would free it up and it would run again ok for quite some time. However, on one of its stick times, I hadn't checked it for some time and my whole basement flooded. I changed the switch which I believe is a weak point in the system (after reading other people's posts).

Mine once freezzed and stop working, I pressed the ON button for about a minute o so and it reset and start working again, give it a try, good luck.

If the machine is reading the cleaning disc and running a clean cycle, it probably isn't the disc.I would suggest turning the unit off, unplugging it, check the barcode reader to ensure it's clean (carefully clean it if necessary), ensure the water tank is full, and then plug it back in & turn it on...

I think you have Quick Start Mode on. Set it to off and this will not happened again.

My husband is the one who takes care of it, he said , it sounds like it didn't take the on /off time set. He also said, he has to get the book out every time he reprograms, because it is a pain.... Hope this helps, if not feel free to reply.
