Toilets with presence sensor

 

— a sensor that reacts to the appearance of a person next to the toilet. Such a sensor is mainly used for automatic control of other functions. For example, in some toilets, the presence sensor automatically raises the lid when a person approaches and lowers it when removed; in others, it turns on the seat heating, controls the flush, etc. The specific features of the sensor should be clarified separately. However, anyway, this function provides not only additional convenience, but also hygiene: the user does not need to once again touch the buttons and other controls with his hands. Also, such functionality may come in handy if the toilet is used by a person with disabilities who, for one reason or another, finds it difficult to use more traditional controls.
