SHOWER SENSOR TIMER + APP

A MODERN SHOWER TIMER!

The ShowerStar™️ Shower Sensor Timer is one of the highest impact and lowest-cost water and energy efficiency measures available, coaching people to take 4 minute showers on a daily basis. A patent pending, simple DIY retrofit product that mounts onto an existing shower pipe or shower-head and automatically detects when a shower starts.

Once the sensor detects the shower has started, a timer starts decrementing. Includes 3 customisable themes with visual alerts.  The default theme is called Simple with more intrusive themes available to nudge behaviour with different types of users.

The product is powered via a long life rechargeable battery with a USB type C port for charging from a standard USB charger. The battery lifespan is ~8-12 months depending on use and configuration*. 

PORTAL

A ShowerStar can uploads non-personally identifiable usage data from each device to a Portal. This permits program managers to verify their program device installation, persistance as well as  showering behaviour to inform program design and water heater load control programs.
