@pantera155 is a good working rain sensor supposed to simply change its output voltage when rain is detected vs no rain detected? Basically being ”on” or “off”?

Yes, that's what I think. But in this case, the faulty sensor I bought never changes the voltage, and the infrared LEDs don't light up either.

It would be great if someone with a rain sensor could take a picture to see if we can see the light emitted by the infrared LED

Try looking at those LEDs using the camera on your iPhone (or maybe Android), iPhone can see some light spectrum beyond what may be visible to some

“ iPhones can see infrared (IR) light from sources like TV remotes or Face ID emitters, especially with the front camera which has weaker IR filters, appearing as purple/white flashes, but the main rear cameras filter most IR to keep colors accurate ”

“ infrared (IR) LEDs are generally invisible to the human eye because their wavelengths (700-1000nm+) are beyond our visible spectrum (380-700nm). However, powerful near-infrared (NIR) LEDs (around 850nm) can sometimes appear as a faint red glow if you stare directly at them, but they don't provide true visible illumination; they are seen by night vision cameras that detect these longer wavelengths, making them great for covert surveillance. “

I bought another sensor and will test it again when it arrives.
