Shine is on 2nd chance - hopeful
Update Jul 10, 2021: I just had a video troubleshooting session with Wes at Shine. I will provide another update after a few days of use. It appears that one unit is up and running. Things to know: 1) It was set up on 5G apparently without an issue - so we can ignore that 5G warning. 2) because I had previously set units up, Wes had to delete them - the user still can't. Wes deleted my whole account and we started over. 3) because I had previously set units up, I had to go through the create account etc with the battery NOT in the locked position until after I had typed in my wifi password. Before clicking on the Next button, I locked the battery. 4) Once the set up is complete - there is a timer on the phone app for the unit... it counts down from ~18mins and you can see the water in the unit electrolyze (mini-bubbles) 5) after the timer is at zero - the first flush sensed will just fill up (prime) the tubing - no spray. 6) there is a wait time of ~5 minutes between sprays. So if you flush again in less than 5 minutes from the last flush - no spray. I will wait a day or two with this one and observe performance - then set up the second. I will update this feedback at that time. If you are having difficulties - call Shine - skip the text and the e-mail features for help. __________________________ ORIGINAL Feedback: I received my 3 units last week. I have charged all batteries - DETACHED. all battery lights are green. I set up one. it does not work. I cannot force my home/business WiFi to 2.4Ghz. (it is insane to have to.) Most Wifi is supposed to adjust to the best possible connection these days. However - the Shine setup appeared to work as it stored the "network settings" and went to the calibration setup - which I completed. The Shine - though - never actually worked. EVER SO - I used my phone mobile hotspot to force the phone to 2.4Ghz. The app set up NEVER passed the "network settings" So - still doesn't work. I tried to delete the stored setup - there is no way to do that... WHAT???? So I setup a new location, set up a second device, and used my mobile hotspot at 2.4G and started from scratch. The app set up NEVER passed the "network settings" So - there you have it. A complete bust. I am an electrical and computer science engineer. I design things, build things, repair things, and generally always get things to work. I am befuddled by these start up errors. I was so looking forward to giving this product a try. Now I just want to send them back to you and ask for my kickstarter investment back... Or alternatively throw these beautiful devices in the recycling bin. I am hoping that you have a solution for me that is NOT, as below, a recycling of the info available on line as I have read ALL of those. So here are some feedback points for your company: -Your instructions for use do not state to charge the battery before use. -Your instructions for use does not provide information on HOW to charge the battery. -Your instructions for use and you online help does not state whether the battery MUST be detached to recharge. -Your app should work on 5Ghz - this is the 21st century -Your app link for "more info on 2.4Ghz" does not work -Your app link for help take me only to a text or e-mail link. -The help e-mail link does not work -I have texted two requests for assistance. Only one was responded to... which did not answer my question and was useless. -There is no way (in the app) to "test" the device that is supposedly set up -There is no way in the app to delete a device that has been added (I now have two devices added - both added using 5G and both not working - and no means of deleting them) -There is no way in the app to delete a location that has been added The battery is very difficult to remove when the device is full of water. this is a bad design. -A beautiful product that doesn't work.
