Today I did R&Rs for five wireless Bounties. As usual, the lights kind of blinked on and off when water dripped from the plants' roots onto the display during removal of the grow deck from the bowl.
I never thought much about this, but today the "buttons" on one Bounty were unresponsive or sluggish when I tried to hit "Plant Food Added". I think that water must have gotten inside the base at the point where the electronic display is set into the base.
The buttons wouldn't let me reset the Plant Food Cycle or the clock, but I was able to reset the clock via the wireless app. Unplugging the Bounty brought up the screen for indicating "My Power Went Out", and then a few more buttons worked, and I was able to reset the Plant Food Cycle. After a couple of hours, I unplugged and replugged the Bounty, and even more buttons worked.
It looks like all of the buttons will be working after the Bounty has a little more time to dry out. However, the lesson learned is that one should NOT allow water to drip on the electronic display. In the future, I will cover the base with a towel when I pull the plants out for an R&R!
