No instructions in electric

Not that it's hard to understand, but come on, include some instructions. Which button is paired, how is it connected? Which application to use? You should add instructions, especially for people who are not that tech savvy. Not only that, but shipping the item in a plastic bag inside a padded envelope instead of a box. For real? It's a circuit board and this thing gets thrown and thrown onto a conveyor belt and it doesn't really have any protection? It was nice. I will say that it works as expected since I used similar products as before for this. The bare basics of the instructions are as follows1. Download EWElink from the App Store or Play Store2. Open the app and create your account3. Press plus to add a device and select quick pairing mode4. Put the device in pairing mode after making the connections and providing a suitable power source. (To put the device into pairing mode, press and hold the 1 button until it flashes. When it flashes 2 or 3 times, then goes off and repeats, press and hold the button again until it is continuous on-off-on -off blinking 5. The device will only connect to a 2.4GHz network so make sure you have it plugged in. If your Wi-Fi system is 5GHz and 2.4GHz combined with the same name it may not be able to connect to your Wi-Fi You may need to separate 2.4 and 5GHz - Some routers may allow you to temporarily enable it 6. Name the device and set options. 7. Update the firmware if you want and use your device I use these for a variety of purposes and they are great for that purpose Don't expect them to guide you through use or setup but if you do look online, you will find numerous instructions for use.

Pros
  • electric
Cons
  • not as thick as other picks
