I would like to turn on mood lighting automatically when I’m taking a shower, what’s the best way to detect that?

  • I’ve considered humidity sensors, but that will take a while to kick in and not immediately when the shower starts.
  • I’ve also considered a water leak sensor but those are not meant to be trigger every day for a long time like 10-15 minutes. That would kill the battery, right?
  • Smart valves can kind of work, but it feels like overkill because I don’t care about the valve functionality.

I would prefer the solution to be battery powered (don’t want to be messing with too many cables around a shower), but I can’t seem to find one.

      A shower that takes cold water from the mains and heats it with electricity. Common as muck in the UK.

        That makes sense. I’m not sure we have those in the US. It does sound a bit like a euphemism for an execution method haha
