Through motion sensors, they limit contact and the spread of germs between multiple users in the bathroom while preventing resource wastage.

Smart technology has now extended to the bathroom as well, which includes multi-outlet shower systems and nodes, lighting control, temperature control and integrated entertainment systems.
