Neat idea but I'm not yet convinced this speaker masks any revelant bathroom sounds* and has no real added value over a water proof Bluetooth speaker (e.g. Fugoo). That's not to say the product is wrong/bad but the Kickstarter content just didn't convince me. (A video with actual demo from the outside would go a long way.)
I was also confused by the product wanting to be an all in one device for setting the "date night" mood, showing me the time, being a light source, etc. I think these are all distractions and should be cut from your plans. I imagine it would reduce your footprint and costs.
Still rooting for your success, thanks for trying to solve this problem!
* Elongated toilets are common in US and echo loudly. I can't imagine a speaker canceling out those sounds.
Yep, saw this. This video is frustrating (to me) because I want to love this box so much! It shows the unit doing everything but what it proports to do. That is, hide poop sounds. Instead, it demonstrates turning on, playing lounge music, showing the time, a light, and taking longer than expected to turn off when the user leaves.
I know exactly what you mean. It was my main concern before going all in. "Is this really helpful or just kind of nice?" But it really does the job and we have an unusually bad bathroom here.
Your other point, regarding turning off more timely, is just a matter of development. (The timer is also user configurable currently). But I want to add more sensors to it like a proximity sensor and light sensor, that will assist it to know if user really left room so that music can turn off faster. It's still very early.
I don't think the kickstarter is going to be funded as it looks right now. I'm about to open a Shopify store instead and continue moving forward. It's a product where you kinda need to experience it before you realise it's really nice. I think word of mouth will be largest marketing channel.
You really should try one. It has saved our "asses" here. :)
