Shower Sensor Timer

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

Once the sensor detects the shower has started, a timer starts decrementing. Customisable themes with audio and visual alerts are provided at the start, half-time, full-time and overt-time.  The default themes is a simple “traffic light” system, along with less and more intrisuve themes to drive beahviour 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 5VDC charger. The battery only needs to be recharged approximately every ~12-18 months depending on use and configuration*. 

Portal

ShowerStars can be configured to upload non-personally identifiable usage data from each device to a cloud based Portal. This permits utilities or program sponsors to view and verify their program device installation and persistance as well as  showering behaviour to inform program design and water heater load flex programs..

Once you entered your city, cost of water, type of water heating heating technology, cost of energy and the flow rate, you can use the forecasting tool in the App to determine what your savings would be by shortening your shower times.

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. 

Then customise these preset alerts making audio or visual alerts brighter, dimmer, long, shorter, louder or quieter depending on yoru preference. You may even choose to ignore certain alerts during the shower. All alerts are fully configurable.
