RE: Sat on a Toilet Sensor ?

["Marcus Warrington" <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nice idea Tim... still rather have a completely hidden solution
myself,
but I think you should patent that idea of yours.



Have the sensor send a wireless signal to a remote air freshener style
device and then it could scent the air whenever anyone went to the
toilet. Judging by the number of different air freshener devices
available I (air freshners with mood lights .. jeez !!!) 'm sure plenty
of people would buy 'em.

eek !! no, not *in* the bowl, but mounted under the seat pointing
towards the bowl...

Can you detect "lid open" and use this as a permissive to start
the fan?

Cheers,

Tim.
