    Hi, I have a OS3.0 AC-powered with Zone expander that has been set to disable for a few week. I have noticed that it show current draw every once and a while. Is this normal?
    I have a few spots in the yard that are always damp. Could this draw be making a zone or two drip water?

    I haven’t been able to she the current leak in the app, only via HomeAssistant.

    BTW, could 220VAC wires that are in the same conduit for about 2mt cause inductance to the 24VAC zone lines and create this issue?

    Current draws below 100mA are usually just noise and they do not indicate solenoid runs. AC signals can be noisy. If a solenoid is running the current draws would be around 200mA.

    I have some pop ups that are 24/7 wet. even if the zone as been off for days. I guess then it would be a faulty valve.

    You can easily test this by disconnecting the wire of that zone from the controller. If the area continues to be wet, that means it’s a valve / leaking issue.
