===Consumer Concerns=== #'''Lack of Advance Notice''' #*Many consumers subscribed to OtOβs Solutions Program with the expectation of continued service. The sudden discontinuation has raised concerns about the company's communication practices. #*Customers who pre-paid for future services or solutions may now feel shortchanged or uncertain about potential refunds or credits. #'''Remaining Product Use and Disposal''' #*With app support removed, consumers are left to manually manage their remaining solutions. #*OtO has directed users to product labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for guidance, but this places additional responsibility on consumers who relied on automated applications. #'''Implications for Product Ownership''' #*This situation highlights a growing trend where companies exert control over products post-purchase. #*Since OtO operates through a cloud-based system, the company has the power to alter or remove functionalities, limiting consumer autonomy over purchased devices and services. #*If I could simply refill the OtO with my preferred solution this would solve the issue, but they are not interested in allowing that. #'''Transparency and Future Commitments''' #*OtO has stated that discontinuing the Solutions Program will allow the company to focus on core irrigation technology. #*However, consumers are left wondering whether similar abrupt changes could impact their investments in OtO hardware in the future.
