Hybrid faucet assembly

A faucet assembly comprising

• a faucet body;
• a faucet spout;
• a first manual flow control valve;
• a second manual flow control valve;
• an electromechanical valve;
• a flow director;
• a temperature control assembly:
• a controller;
• and
• an activator device,
• wherein
• the first manual flow control valve is configured to be fluidly connected to a cold water source and the flow director, and to deliver cold water to the faucet spout,
• the second flow control valve is configured to be fluidly connected to a hot water source and the flow director, and to deliver hot water to the faucet spout,
• the temperature control assembly is configured to be fluidly connected to the cold water source and to the hot water source,
• the temperature control assembly is fluidly connected to the electromechanical valve,
• the electromechanical valve is configured to be fluidly connected to the cold water source, to the hot water source, and to the flow director, and to deliver a hot/cold water mixture to the faucet spout,
• the electromechanical valve, the controller, and the activator device are configured to be in electrical communication, and
• the controller is configured to receive a signal from the activator device indicating it has been activated, and to send a signal to the electromechanical valve to open to deliver the hot/cold water mixture to the faucet spout, and
• wherein the faucet assembly is configured to be independently operated in a manual mode via operation of the first and/or second manual flow control valves, and to be independently operated in an automatic mode via operation of the electromechanical valve.
