SUMMARY

The Evo Decor bidet attachment purchased from a Restore location is only partially functioning despite successful installation and remote pairing. The device completes its self-check and activates the sprayinator briefly, but subsequent spray and blow functions do not operate. The seat movement and heater elements work correctly, confirming power and remote communication. The user suspects a safety lockout feature requiring the user to be seated to activate spraying, consistent with the manual's indication. Troubleshooting steps included reseating connectors and verifying button responses, but no resolution was achieved.

PREREQUISITES

  • Understanding of bidet attachment installation and plumbing connections
  • Familiarity with remote control pairing and signal feedback mechanisms
  • Knowledge of safety lockout features in electronic bathroom fixtures
  • Basic troubleshooting of electronic connectors and self-test diagnostics

NEXT STEPS

  • Research Evo Decor bidet model-specific safety lockout and in-use sensor requirements
  • Investigate detailed remote control button functions and LED feedback interpretation
  • Explore user forums or manufacturer resources for firmware updates or troubleshooting guides
  • Consider creating or locating demonstration videos of the self-test and operational sequences

USEFUL FOR

Homeowners, plumbers, and DIY enthusiasts installing or troubleshooting electronic bidet attachments, particularly those dealing with remote-controlled models featuring safety lockouts and self-test diagnostics.

TL;DR
Looking for troubleshooting suggestions
Bought this bidet for half price at a "Restore" location that fits over an existing toilet. (30 day Return licy has expired).
Name: Evo Decor

It is only partially functioning (which is weirder than if it weren't functioning at all.)

What I have done:
Plugged it in, got the water all hooked up, paired up the remote. Put in fresh batteries.

I have downloaded the manual but it is little help in troubleshooting.
I contacted them but have not heard back. Even if they still exist, I'm not sure they are interested in tech support on this model.
  • It runs through a self-check, even extending and operating the "sprayinator". Some water sprays out.
  • The seat(s) going up and down works perfectly fine (which tells me the remote is paired).
  • The other buttons activate for the most part (They beep once. This, according to the manual is another indication that the remote is paired and functioning. When they are not working, they beep three times or not at all.)
  • Some of the buttons affect the LEDs on the remote - sliding them up and down (like water flow or fan power), though the actual devices don't do anything.
  • The automatic heaterizer(s) seem to work (water temp and seat temp are above room temp).
I cannot get the sprayinator or blowinator to do anything after that first self-test.

I can go into depth about exactly
- which buttons work
- which buttons pretend to work but don't activate anything, and
- which ones don't even beep
if you think that will help troubleshoot.

As you can see, I have opened it up to see what's what. It appears perfectly clean, as if fresh out of the box.
I have jiggled and reseated every connector I can find.

What can you suggest I try next?

Maybe you need to be seated for the power wash to function? A lockout to prevent spraying the bathroom.

Yes. It does say that.

I am 95% certain I tried that.

I had the equivalent of that on the rear window washer on my Skoda. It would prevent your head from being sprayed if you opened the hatchback. The Skoda electrics were a bit of a nightmare, also.

The bidets I have used just had a H/C mixer tap and a jet with low trajectory. What other functions are needed? A demo would be well received on PF.

Sorry, but I have ZERO desire to see Dave's butt being squirted.
Can't imagine anyone else either.
What the hell are you implying here?

My thoughts went thusly:

"Right. I should arrange a demo of the self-test sequence. That makes sense.
And they'll want to see it in-action, which includes the 'in-use' sensor being- oh nopey nope nope!"

Would the test be for your self or the bidet’s self? Strikes me as a possible candidate for YouTube.
Keep us informed please. There may be a download available? (I mean an advertisement document!)
