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.

CONFIGURATION

Supports simple functions via an operation button and complex configuration and data logging via an App.  The App connects via Bluetooth and is available in iOS and Android versions.

INSTALLATION

DIY installation onto a shower pipe (rigid or flexible, straight or corrugated) or directly onto a showerhead. Installation takes <2 minutes. First mount the mount bracket using supplied cable ties, then slide the product into the mounting cradle to complete the installation. No plumbing or electrical connection required.

The App allows you to fully customise the alert experience. Choose from a number of preset "Themes" ranging from subtle to very engaging depending on the type of behaviour and user you are trying to influence.
