RE: [OT] Heated mirrors

I guess you could use a pipe temperature sensor (we have one for the
HW
loop).  That way, if you enjoy cold showers, you won't waste electricity
heating the mirror up.

Oh - or a moisture sensor. I bought a humidity sensor ages ago but never
fitted it.

I guess the problem with this is that atmospheric humidity can vary so
widely - would probably need to compare an outdoor sensor to the one in the
shower/bathroom?

Anyone know of any other type of water flow sensor that can be fitted
around
a pipe, simple to interface to and is cheap?

Paul.
