Things have errors. Errors happen. My (dumb) thermostat once ran out of batteries mid-heating-cycle-changeover and the furnace didn't get the order to turn off the heat cycle, and so ran on max power for a couple hours until I got home, house was 80 degrees!

But this seems like a PREVENTABLE error. And not only that, a blatantly obvious preventable error. The bed should never have been connected to anything except Bluetooth. Even bluetooth seems excessive, just have a remote attached to it, but I can at least see the value in a wireless option. But why does Amazon need to know if your bed is in use or not?
