That suffers the same problem Keith mentioned earlier, someone turning the
shower on but not getting in.

We were originally going to mount 2 of the inductive switches behind tiles,
one for lights, one for shower fan/light, but I managed to persuade swmbo
that we would try automatic lights on a timer/PIR system.

I'll try the flow sensor first, and see how we get on with it.
