How the fuck can a faucet be smart? It's a valve! It turns one way, or it turns the other way! It is only slightly less dumb than the counter top!

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 18 points 3 days ago

But what if the valve was actuated electronically with no manual access?

Yeah but what if you could make it worse? What if you could add the garbage motion sensor that takes ten hand waves to get working? Or add a touch screen that showed you visually how hot or cold the water was and could also show you ads?

And this is why KNX and Home Assistant are a good idea.

It's like the forcefields in the brig on Star Trek. Extremely stupid to not also have bars as a backup in case they fail.

I don't understand the idiots who insist on unredundant designs. Especially when it comes to handles. They've literally killed people with that decision.

This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I'll likely retrofit something old. Newest I'll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.

The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.

That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.

Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.
