I've
thought about this......
NO
PLUG.
but a valve below the bath that controls the
outlet.
Above
that between the bath and plug hole there is a T piece where you connect a
tube
that rises vertically behind the bath similar to the level guage on an oil
tank. The sensor can be on that to detect the
level.
I
havent
actually built that design but I see no reason why it wouldnt
work.
(PS.
you
could use a siteplayer to monitor it via the web
:-))

The Business
section (p13) of the Sunday Times has an article about the Orange
Smart
Home. It concludes, not too positively, that SWMBO is probably right when
she
wants light switches rather than touch screens ! Overall AV came out as
desirable and a smart bath, the plug stays 'up' until the water flow is at
the
right temp - and you can't overflow it.
I must admit
the
latter has happened here and just after redecorating downstairs. Anyone got
any
good 'water level' detection ideas ? - I think most of them need a hole in
the
bath to an outside pipe although maybe you could dispense with the plug ,
fit
an electric valve instead and tap off before it for the level sensor...
hmmm
got me thinking now..
