Another major concern raised by consumers is the possibility that if OtO were to shut down its app entirely, users may lose the ability to operate their smart sprinklers altogether. Since OtO’s system relies on app connectivity, any disruption or discontinuation of the app could render the hardware useless. This raises additional questions about long-term product viability and the risk of digital dependency in essential home systems. Many customers are worried that OtO may discontinue their app altogether and make the product unusable. | Another major concern raised by consumers is the possibility that if OtO were to shut down its app entirely, users may lose the ability to operate their smart sprinklers altogether.<ref name=":4" /> Since OtO’s system relies on app connectivity, any disruption or discontinuation of the app could render the hardware useless.
