High and dry
Looks like this business no longer exists and left everyone high and dry with faulty products that also happened to be extremely expensive. Great. I deeply regret purchasing mine.
Wish Wikoda team was responsive
Had i known that email was only way to get support - and very delayed, days and days- i would have thought twice to purchase the Sunflower3. When it works - it is wonderful to have the sun! But am so hugely disappointed in app that is hit/miss - doesn’t always work, and guess what happens when doesn’t work? Sunflower3 just sits there and doesn’t work/do intended job. Wikoda team- can you please respond to your customers and fix this? So frustrating.

quirky but functional
just a few weeks in but the hardware looks sturdy and was well packaged for shipping. the app has a few rough edges but functional. first few times in initial configuration i didn’t catch i had to hold phone/camera horizontal and app was telling me my target was impossible.
just upgraded to ios 14, and now app crashes when trying to connect. i do worry the longevity of the device since it’s solely managed through the app. may have to dedicate an older ios hardware to keep this device working for the long haul.

Unpolished
I have noticed some rough edges, setting up my Sunflower3 heliostat using this app.
After setup, you still have to skip through the phone compatibility and assembly stages each time you start the app.
Communication with the sunflower3 was unreliable even when very close.
The first try at setup failed to point the mirror anywhere near its target.
The next try was close, but the training procedure failed with communication problems.
The next day, during sync, the app said the motor was jammed, so that's as far as I got.
I hope Wikoda sends a replacement or a refund!
