Watched this in traffic driving home to set up my Rachio. Immediately checked the plug and was getting no power on the hub. I grabbed some wire cutters and snipped off about a quarter inch of rubber around the input. Done, fixed. Set up four valves in 30 minutes and tested all four zones with no issue. Fkn legend!

Thank you for a great tip. Follow the steps and I’m happy the power port work as it should be. Truly a great video detailing the issues and how to solved it. Rachio takes note !

[@geejay9883]

This video popped up in my feed at the perfect time. I have a couple coming tomorrow. Thank you!

[@davidbayouth7551]

Absolutely the problem I am having. Couldn't keep steady power to the hub. Thank you for offering an easy fix.

[@hectorg362]

Thanks for this. I read the a fourm describing this exact fix. It amazes me how they still aren’t able to engineer this thing right.

[@RangerCmat]

Thank you, I was wondering why this thing wouldnt work. Rachio pay attention.

[@CW-qt1qv]

I have one coming. Thanks for the video.

Went to setup smart hose timer and hub wasn’t powering on after plugging in. Found this video and definitely has to be the issue. Thank you

[@namtran1123]

I had this issue today. Thanks a lot for your time doing this video. I def going to open and drill it tmr.

[@jdwilder63]

Thanks for info. Mine I just bought had the same problem. I took a razor knife to cord and trimmed off a tiny bit of plastic around the metal and now it works. 😊

[@anthonycalenti4782]

Good work. This was my exact problem on both my units.

[@desidreamers]

I cannot believe rachio is this stupid. Thanks a ton for your help. This saved me a ton of time. Working great!!’

[@ravirepaka5298]

Thanks a lot for showing the tip, I had the exact same issue and drilling it helped to fit the socket.

[@arnoldoacosta6715]

[@gundamburst]

Thank you, I did the same like you and I was able to connect the wifi unit. Everything works great!

[@DonHendrix-yg4mv]

Good job . Returned 2 at costco

[@TheRemyRomano]

I bet they will send all of these to you now for the retrofit

[@TheRemyRomano]

How far will the timer work from the hub? What does the hub do, does it maintain the programming and actuate the timers or do the timers maintain their own programming and work independently of the hub? Trying to understand if they work if the power to the hub is out temporarily. Thanks.

[@rameshratan4946]

Thanks a lot. I did the drill hole routine and it worked. Rachio had sent me a replacement hub and that did not work too. On the second one, I cut off about a 1/4 inch of black plastic from the power adapter front. That worked too. Did not have to drill a hole. You may want to try it and post it.

[@EyeMD476]

Rachio should use micro USB power instead of age old round connector

[@lifeaccordingtobri]

Agreed ... USB C would have been wiser. Thank you for watching

[@TheRemyRomano]

Send this to the ratio people so they can redesign this mess.
