Staff needs to change or be trained; support leads to frustration
The HeyAbby OG Pro comes with a built in UVB & IR diodes. I switched to Pro mode on the app so I can change the main light scheduler. I discovered there is no UVB or IR light scheduler. I asked for them to have the app updated as in auto mode these are set to a hidden schedule. It took about 3x of misdirection from the HeyAbby support staff before they decided they will not add this feature which should have been included from the start and ended the conversation by saying they can't meet this demand. Celina was trying her best to help me and my situation over the weekend. Then Monday came and I'm back with Kayla who has made it known that they won't do anything for me. Seems like they are mad at me for the negative reviews. I'd be glad to change the reviews for each if they resolve my problems appropriately. (cameras malfunction by having a visible light during dark cycles and I was sent subpar nutrients, both of which they failed to replace or provide a solution for) If you're reading this HeyAbby staff, you can still make it right and get the reviews changed. Until then, any problems I have will be voiced here, every time.

Hi Giovanni, We’ve carefully reviewed your full case history, including all email threads and your recent requests. We want to take a moment to respond respectfully, clearly, and firmly. First, we want to emphasize that threatening negative reviews or offering to change them in exchange for special accommodations is not the right approach. Our team is here to support every grower equally, and we truly value honest, constructive feedback—whether it’s positive or critical. That’s how we improve. Regarding your request to adjust the UVB/IR light schedule in Pro Mode, all suggestions for product or app enhancements are submitted to our hardware and app engineering teams for technical and strategic evaluation. These requests are not decided by individual support agents. Every request must be reviewed to determine if it’s reasonable, feasible, and beneficial for the broader community, and prioritized accordingly. At this time, we are not making custom changes to accommodate individual preferences. As for your other concerns, our team has provided full explanations regarding the BudCam LED behavior and nutrient batch. We’ve investigated thoroughly and, based on internal reviews, found no defects or quality issues that would justify a replacement under warranty. Our support team always aims to help, but when a request falls outside of what’s technically possible or policy-supported, we have to be clear and honest. We remain committed to supporting you as a grower, and we hope to continue the conversation in a respectful and constructive way.
