RE: [OT] Heated mirrors

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thinking a bit more about this - I think if I fitted one of these:

Water flow detector (near the bottom of the page), to the hot supply to the
shower, this could be linked to HomeVision/CBus/Comfort etc to turn on the
heated mirror and extract fan etc.

What do you think?

Paul.
