  I just want a foot pedal to press. Public toilets should also have those just for hygienic reasons.

    I really miss these hand washing stations we had in elementary school.

      These were in several of the trades buildings in my post secondary. often stocked with fast orange and sunlight industrial.

    I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

      I can only see wheelchairs being an issue, but you need special toilets and sinks for that anyway. Any foot pedal should be able to be activated with a crutch or prosthetic.

      ADA compliancy is such a BS hurdle sometimes.

      “Hey we made this improvement that will help 99.99% of all people!”

      “What about the remaining 0.01%?”

      “Well, no, unfortunately it won’t work for those edge cases”

      “Ewww… Well it’s not allowed then. If a blind man in a wheelchair with a service dog can’t use it, then no one can!”

  Why not both? Automatically sense when to start your limited time.

    Isn’t that how every automatically sensing faucet works?

      I think typically they only turn on when they actively detect something near the sensor. Once they no longer detect the object, they shut off.

        I don’t think so.

        If they only relied on the sensor it would constantly turn on and off which is something I have never seen on that kind of faucets. I think there is always a delay before shutting down but sometimes that delay is set so low that it feels like you need to constantly activate the sensor.

        That’s how this one works. If I stop rubbing my hands the water stops. It detects motion, not proximity.

  You have correctly identified that it’s not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

  Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we’ll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.

  I’ve actually encountered a properly designed one once in my life. The sensor was in the faucet spout instead of in the base.
