    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 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”
