Hi there! My two pennies' worth – ledus wheelus devices have touch-sensitive buttons onboard – Previous, Next, Pause and Off. They react on electrical capacitance change and what actually can happen there in heavy rain – drops of water can get onto 'Off' button and device switches off. If you ever dropped the water on a smartphone screen of laptop touchscreen area you know what I mean, that's perceived as a finger touch.
So, we decided to make a 'Rain mode' feature in which all touch buttons will be disabled and only clickable Power On button will work (+experimental code that will make Power On work also as Power Off, however that's a bit tricky :)) Will be added to the Ledus Wheelus software later this week and you'll be able to test it. Cannot guarantee that it will work for the swimming pool conditions, but probably will help :)
PS. Yup, that's me makin lights, thanks for all your feedbacks!
