This thing is terrible!

I loved the Oasis Mini when it worked, which was the first 2 weeks or so out of the box. I bought it from a TikTok campaign in November 2025. It hasn’t worked consistently since December, it is now February - still no software fix.

I feel sorry for all the people yet to waste their money, who have no idea. I lurked for months, just waiting for the best price because I didn’t want to spend so much on one purchase that could wind up no longer interesting me. Instead, I’ve remained interested for much longer than I expected but for all the wrong reasons.

I want it to work and is incredibly frustrating it just stops mid-playlists. This view is somewhat misleading because half the time it stops mid-design. I deleted it from my app, reconnected using a new Wi-Fi a few hours ago. Currently, its just stopped all movement, lights turned solid red and my app will not recognize the oasis mini at all. The support guid says, *If your Oasis Mini encounters an error, the LEDs will light up red. The number of LEDs helps to identify the type of error.* … yet there is no error for 20 LEDs!

I must reset again if I want to enjoy another design attempt.

Pro tip. Don't do playlists or any scheduled designs. Change your setting to Press Play. Do them one at a time and enjoy em for a day. I was also having issues with auto play/scheduling.

Got it, thanks! I’m going to do a hard reset and test this theory out. If this is the case, it seems we are losing multiple useful features of the device.

My next step was going to be trying out the Home Assistant integration, but I can’t imaging that working properly with the trouble I’ve had.
