Today a neighbor told me it's been coming on during the night (3 or 5
AM).

Any ideas on what I could check?


Your neighbor's wris****ch?

I'm considering connecting an electronic buzzer on a long pair of
wires (I already have the wires) connected to the "master valve"
output (not otherwise used) of the sprinkler controller. This would
be an alarm that would sound it the controller became active during
the night.
