According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals

Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays "It's Raining Men" every time it flushes... Now that would really be something

Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?

[–] MrJameGumb 49 points 4 months ago

Yeah you're right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.

Wait till they load it with 'AI.'

No, please. We just escaped blockchain

Seeing as they could accomplish basically the same thing with an indicator and a QR code, its crazy a bt chip and antenna were both used in this. My only remaining question: how is it powered?

when technology became cheap enough to implement, so they can sell it as features

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?

One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.

Finally! It's always disgusting to touch those public urinal manuals 🤢

I also always end up peeing myself, so I'm glad there is an app to guide me now!

This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects

[–] Crackhappy 44 points 4 months ago

Be the change you want to pee.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Thanks I hate it (or like it).

[–] warbond 52 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Serious answer: it's a "smart" urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.

If you're in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago

To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished

[–] Feathercrown 40 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Cheaper than running plumbing through the walls

[–] chetradley 14 points 4 months ago

Just be careful you don't accidentally connect your earbuds to it.

[–] WagnasT 39 points 4 months ago

Because USB would be gross

How else are you gonna get the pictures off it?

[–] Iheartcheese 25 points 4 months ago (4 children)

If they wanted pictures of a bunch of cocks why not just put the camera in your moms mouth?

For many things. For IR or heat activated urinals you can set the sensitivity when they actuate, the flush volume, schedule regular cleaning cycles, and see statistics of usage, with some models remaining battery power, etc

When you are a maintenance guy in an office building with 100+ of these bad boys it helps a lot.

For pee counters and penis size statistics. Both very important in the world of science about the penis and the pee.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

It's how we know pee is stored in the balls.

[–] Melvin_Ferd 6 points 4 months ago

Jokes on them dicks too small for sensors

[–] BugleFingers 23 points 4 months ago

It needs to sell the pee data to advertisers.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

how else is is the video supposed to get to my phone???

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

So it knows if you're subscribed to urinal services.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It’s got a built in speaker you can pair your phone to if you have an official pee song, mine is CombatCircus, by Talco

Sounds dumb but once you’re synced up it’s hands free and the experience is really relaxing

[–] EvolvedTurtle 7 points 4 months ago

This is the most realistic sounding explanation and I'm really gullible

The difference in usage that badboy would get during a football game versus a gig at the same stadium would be enormous. Things like flush cycle frequency and when to turn the system on/off to conserve water. Nothing massively sinister - boring facility management stuff mostly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

i'm gonna hack the urinal to make it flush in people's faces

[–] over_clox 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's a subscription based water cooler, obviously.

Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

So the penis inspectior that shows up at my house two times a month is a fraud?

For the blockchain.

Now can somebody explain to me why this needs the blockchain?

Pee-powered shitcoin mining!
Or would that rather be... pisscoin?

It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

it's called taking a "selfpee"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Wireless pee

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

It's so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

You ever play Death Stranding? It's so they can turn your pee into grenades that harm ghosts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That's how they make the water cool 😎

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To transfer your pee via bluetooth, obviously.

[–] pHr34kY 7 points 4 months ago

We call it "streaming".
