My mega live 2 unit is warm to the touch while just sitting in the garage with the master power off. Kinda concerns me, anyone else have this?

It does not get warm if its power is disconnected.

I have mine on a switch for this reason.
The Mega Live and Mega Live 2 installation instructions state that you need a switch to power them off... they continue to use power when out of water watching for the wet switch to be activated. If your Mega Live 2 is warm to the touch, then your master switch isn't cutting power to it. I have individual switches for my Mega 360, Mega Live, and Mega Live 2.
