That's definitely a "woman thing", mine will run a bath , spend
10-15 minutes in
there and its still a monkey bath (ooh..ooh..ooh) if *I* get in after her !

In the end we're going down the Rada Sense Bath T3 route, which also has
some Irda functions. Not cheap and can't find any decent discounts.

Mmm.. dare I ask how much is "not cheap"

We're in the process of doing two bathrooms and I'd looked into one step
further, completely automating it (no taps). A couple of things made it
a bit more difficult - the first is SWMBO likes her bath (when on her
own) hotter than I do, or you might need a top up, so the TMV would need
to be remotely adjustable but this is doable with 10V controlled valves.
The second is potential reduction in flow rates. Thirdly there is the
issue of a control panel which is visually acceptable.

In the end we're going down the Rada Sense Bath T3 route, which also has
some Irda functions. Not cheap and can't find any decent discounts. I've
also seen reference to another electronic bath  mixer valve but can't
find it any more.
