SMART SHOWER HEAD
A shower head adapted to receive a supply of water from a water heater, the shower head including: a controller functionally connected to the water heater; and a height sensor functionally coupled to the controller, wherein the height sensor is configured to output a signal corresponding to the height of a user within a detection range of the height sensor, the height of the user is configured to correspond to a pre-determined setpoint temperature of the user, wherein the controller is configured for communicating the pre-determined setpoint temperature to the water heater for controlling the supply of water to the pre-determined setpoint temperature.
1 . A shower head adapted to receive a supply of water from a water heater, said shower head comprising:
(a) a controller functionally connected to the water heater; and
(b) a height sensor functionally coupled to said controller, wherein said height sensor is configured to output a signal corresponding to the height of a user within a detection range of said height sensor, the height of the user is configured to correspond to a pre-determined setpoint temperature of the user,
wherein said controller is configured for communicating said pre-determined setpoint temperature to the water heater for controlling the supply of water to said pre-determined setpoint temperature.
2 . The shower head of claim 1 , wherein said controller is configured to automatically change said pre-determined setpoint temperature upon a duration of use of said shower head to increase the comfort of the user.
3 . The shower head of claim 1 , wherein said controller is configured to automatically increase said pre-determined setpoint temperature upon a duration of use of said shower head to increase the comfort of the user.
4 . The shower head of claim 3 , wherein said controller further comprises a high temperature limit to which said increase is limited.
