An apparatus for automating control of the water in a shower system includes at least one sensor disposable within a water flow path intermediate the valve and the showerhead. A processing unit operatively connectable to the sensor processes the sensor signal and generates control signals in response thereto. A valve control mechanism operatively connectable to the valve and the processing unit positions the valve in response to the control signals from the processing unit. A user interface operatively connectable to the processing unit receives user commands and displays values for the water temperature and flow rate. In the illustrative embodiment the processing unit is microprocessor based and enables previously defined vales for water temperature and flow rate to be stored and recalled in association with a particular user identifier.
An apparatus for use with a shower system having a shower head and a valve for controlling the admixture of both hot and cold water to the shower head, the valve configured to move relative to an axis and having a lever coupled thereto, motion of the valve lever around the valve axis controlling the admixture of both hot and cold water, and motion of the valve lever within a plane containing the valve axis controlling the water flow rate to the shower head, the apparatus comprising:
