Good projector with small bluetooth pairing issues but great customer service

I use this projector for Halloween/Christmas at my house. A projector illuminates a frosted shower curtain that covers the window in my upstairs hallway. This projector has a key feature that I think it would be helpful to list on the Revain website. This is the timer mode. First connect the projector, set the current time, and then set the on timer and off timer. So at 18:30 the projector turns on and I have a Raspberry PI with FPP (google it) looping my AtmosFx videos. It lasts until 9:30pm when the show stops and the shutdown time turns off the projector. It's fully automated. So I ordered this projector about 2 weeks ago. I started playing around and trying to set things up. Then I tried setting up the bluetooth function to connect to a bluetooth speaker. I was hoping this would work so I could put the speaker outside on Halloween and play some hideous trick-or-treating noises. I couldn't establish a Bluetooth connection, but I forgot to turn off the Bluetooth function. I set the timer and set everything up in the hallway. That first night the projector was turned on and everything was displayed perfectly. The projector is nice and bright and can still be seen from the outside when someone turns on the lights in the hall (so now backlit). When it came time to turn off the projector, that didn't happen. When I woke up the next morning, the projector was still on. The remote control didn't work, nor did any of the buttons on the top of the projector work. I had to pull the plug to turn it off. After reboot everything worked as it should. I repeated this for the next 3 nights with the same results. That's when the best part of this story happened. I contacted Yaber tech support and they responded! Not only did they reply once, they listened to what I was having trouble with and sent me an updated firmware. It turned out that there was a bug in the Bluetooth function that blocked the device. After I turned that off, the timer worked fine. I haven't tried setting up the bluetooth again as I don't really need it, but it works great for my needs. Thanks to Yaber for the responsive and competent technical support!
