What do the coloured LED alerts on my ShowerStar mean?
ShowerStar features a simple system of coloured LEDs to notify you at different stages of each shower. This system acts as a traffic light guide, as easy as green, amber, red, using behavioural nudges to help you take shorter, more water- and energy-efficient showers.
Visual feedback stages
Your ShowerStar is designed to provide visual feedback at specific moments to keep your shower on track. The LEDs will light up when:
- Blue: water flow has been detected. This is triggered by vibration on the shower pipe. If this is triggering frequently, you can disable the alert.
- Green: the timer has started. Your shower is being timed and logged.
- Amber, half-time: a nudge that you are halfway through your shower.
- Red, full-time: a nudge that your time is up and it is time to get out of the shower.
- Red, over-time: a reminder that you are overtime.
App connectivity
The ShowerStar communicates with the app via a Bluetooth connection. The LEDs may also indicate connection status whenever the app is connected to the device.
