Any reason for cancelling and hiding the first Kickstarter for what appears to be the same product from 2020? [1] [1]: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loo

  Hehe. Nice detective work. OP did say they moved to the office a couple of years ago, and his idea came about 13 months ago, so perhaps he jumped the gun on creating the project then withdrew it? Love a good "caught red-handed" internet moment, but this one might be Occam's Razor.

  Accidental misclicked and launched previous version. (Kickstarter has a confusing UX) It had FM-radio that didn't work and a crappy nokia 5110 display. We were "95% done" with that prototype, according to the consultants, and I was 60K in. I decided to pull the handbrake after realising that was not going to end well when I had no clue how to build the unit and those "5%" would probably cost me another 100% if you know what I mean. I have since needed to learn how to design PCBs and mechanical design, redesigned everything from scratch and now ready to sell some units. Super stressful period.
