I'm just boggled by the fact that "a toilet you flush with your phone" ever gof off the stoner couch. who the fuck wants to pull out a phone and press a button every time they take a piss.

Sensors if you move, yeah they're a thing that's given us all a surprise shifting our weight but a fucking app???

There could be a use case in public restrooms or retirement homes, but a usage sensor and timer would do the job better.

I 100% would not pair my phone to a public toilet just to flush it

I would 100% pair my phone, so that I could flush it while others were using it.

Stealing this one!

I mean, obviously a manual handle would be a requirement, but I could possibly see it? Like the idea of an app controlled bidet is not that far fetched because they have a lot of buttons and settings (obviously I want physical buttons too).

Yeah I would expect a "smart" toilet to flush when I stood up or moved away. Why anybody would ever require a phone to turn on a faucet is beyond ridiculous.

"Smart" apparently doesn't mean "it does things on its own" but simply "you can control it over our app"

You not only can control it with our app, you have to - so when we start showing un-skippable ads on our app you can either watch them of buy a new faucet. Smart like a fox!
