Good Morning.

Got an idea with all the IOT stuff, but it is not really a part of IOT.

A shower controller.

Typically you turn on the shower and wait around for it to get to your happy temp. Periodically sticking your hand in to see if it is warm yet. If you are in a hurry, turn it to full hot, then mix in the cold once it is getting hot. Usually running hot and cold down the drain until it is comfy enough to hop in.

Was kind of wondering if people would buy a digital shower controller. You set the temp and turn it on. It doesn't output anything until it reaches the temp. It runs the hot water directly down the drain until hot, then mixes and turns on when it is just the right temp.

If you always take a shower at a certain time of day it could pre run the hot so it would be ready almost instantly.

The controller could control the temp so if someone runs a faucet or flushes a toilet it compensates for you. Or even if you start running out of hot water it mixes in less and less cold with a warning light that it will shut off when it can't maintain your temp.

Just thinking while standing there testing the shower temp waiting for my hot water to arrive.
