Well I liked it :-)

It may have the same problem with cast iron baths as you get with roller
shutter doors- ie you might need a monster magnet in the plug and a less
sensitive reed switch, or the bath might need degaussing periodically!  But
it should work well with plastic ones.

And I like that too... I was just going to keep the shower switch locally
connected to the speakers, but I might have to give it it's own zone on
Comfort now, so it can activate my existing 'do not disturb' mode (AKA day
mode) :-)
