Excellent advice I will admit. Won't help with stupidity though...
Found the problem, left the wire from the controller out (twice) when wire nutting all the common wires together. But you see it is really my wife's fault. I was showing her how to replace a valve - cut away old valve, couple more pipe to riser, glue together, reattach wire, etc. If she hadn't kept asking what that extra loose white wire was for...You guys can see how it was really her fault right? Right guys? Guys?
