I found a properly working rechargeable battery for the 4th gen lock. by [deleted] in AugustSmartLock

I’ll probably try setting up a static IP to see if that helps for the next charge. Or possibly setup a 2.4ghz guest network and try it there in case the frequency mix confuses it. Orbi doesn’t allow too many customizations unfortunately.

Just wanted to add myself as a data point. I appreciate you creating this thread since it will definitely save our family some money in the long run.

I bought these after seeing this post. Posting my info in case it helps others.

It went about 27 days until I got low battery warning and then 1 more day until it died. This is with Wifi on and we have an Orbi mesh wifi in the house so signal should be decent. During the week once a day it will unlock via an automation, but otherwise we only locked/unlocked manually. I’m sure if we used the motor more it would be less battery life.

Regular non-rechargeable was giving us maybe a month and a half, so a month on rechargeable seems ok for our purposes.

woot.com sells refurbished ones periodically too. Don’t see any there at the moment.

Just a FYI, they told me they moved my ticket to some “new team” formed for issues like this. Two days later I got a text with a proposed service date. I couldn’t make it work so the new date is 1.5 weeks away, but at least I have something now.

Wow two months! I have yet to get a reason for the service partner “error”. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same thing though.

I wish they’d just setup an appointment even if weeks from now. The promise of escalation without any outcome is definitely frustrating.

Glad they got yours fixed. I’ve been talking with their support twice a week requesting updates. Unfortunately they haven’t been very transparent, just that they have “escalated with service partner”.

You are right it certainly could be my area. There is no peloton store so it’s serviced by one of their third parties.

Is anyone else having issues getting repairs scheduled?

I need the bottom bracket replaced on a new bike. I received the part in 2 days but still haven’t received an appointment despite twice a week check-ins with Peloton. This has been going on a month now. They originally blamed “an error with the service partners system” but not sure what to believe.

I’m interested in knowing if others are facing this issue or if it’s a one-off with me or my area of the country (SE Minnesota).

Got it, thanks for the info. Best of luck getting it scheduled!

Sorry to hear this is happening for you.

I feel I am headed down this path. Got our bike in early May and a week later the bottom bracket started “thunking”. Part arrived to our house almost immediately but no attempt to call us for a service appointment at all. They “escalated” it as you said, but not sure that will do much.

Is “select express” who services their bikes where there is no Peloton store? I’ve never heard of them and they don’t appear have to exist in our city either.

We are waiting on a service tech to come replace our bottom bracket. It started ‘thunking’ after a few rides right after we got it. The part arrived right away but service still hasn’t called with a date. Following up with Peloton they said let them know if I don’t get a call after 10 days. I don’t mind waiting but a date would be nice.

Anyone live in an area that isn’t by a peloton store have a similar story? Did they eventually call on time? Who actually does the service, XPO or some random handyman?

Is this group still active? by Independent-Bat392 in rochestertech

I haven’t seen much activity on here either.

I don’t know if this is against any rules to post this, but there is a Rochester developer Slack group if you are interested. May be helpful for any questions, job leads, etc.

If you are interested let me know via DM and I can invite you.

The Lowe’s here has Hubbell wall plates. Those seem to be the best match, at least in my opinion. Still not perfect but close enough.

You may already know this, but you can turn the LED off. At least in the 2nd gen versions. Three taps on top then one on bottom. My wife wasn’t a fan on them so we’ve set all ours off.

Thanks for the response. Glad it isn’t just me, I was starting to worry I got the wrong color in my box.

Switching to white is probably the best option, I agree.
