Can somebody explain to me why this needs Bluetooth?

  According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals

  Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays “It’s Raining Men” every time it flushes… Now that would be something

    Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?

    • MrJameGumb@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah you’re right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.

      when technology became cheap enough to implement, so they can sell it as features

      One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.

      BT can be used to track people. Maybe they need to know how many people are using it? Or they are stalking men who pee.

      Was it necessary to take the picture while looking the person in the eye at the urinal next to you while they were attempting to have a non anxiety ridden moment forcing them to not be able to pee?

  Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.

  If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.

  • tetris11@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal

  For many things. For IR or heat activated urinals you can set the sensitivity when they actuate, the flush volume, schedule regular cleaning cycles, and probably a half dozen other things.

      You mean PeeTube? PeeTube is also the name of the astronaut pee device based pee device that doesn’t need video to measure your penis length. Simply insert your penis into the spring loaded tube (it’s just a tube with lots of springs in it). As your penis skin touches the springs, the penis length is measured. The current model is a 256SpT (Springs per Tube), which allows for a penis length resolution in 12"/256 increments.

  The difference in usage that badboy would get during a football game versus a gig at the same stadium would be enormous. Things like flush cycle frequency and when to turn the system on/off to conserve water. Nothing massively sinister - boring facility management stuff mostly.
