About an $1,800 kitchen faucet that doesnt interface with Alexa properly.

Im liable to take the faucet and beat him with it til his legs dont work any more. The disconnect here may as well be the Grand Canyon and im Evel Knievel.

Why in the fuck does this moron need Alexa to control his faucet???

I saw a fancy shower faucet with Alexa that had one cool feature. You could ask for a specific temperature and it would manipulate internal valves to maintain it.

I wouldn't buy a $2k shower control with spyware for that feature, but it would be nice.

Even that is kinda of silly to me. I went my whole life adjusting water temp based on feel. I really don’t need to know that my ideal water temp is 99.8764356 degrees.

I was actually going to mention pissing in the sink but ive been beaten to it.

For what it’s worth, they do make consumer faucets with motion sensors. I would probably invest in that for whenever I have dirty hands, but anything that needs internet can get fucked.

Plus when you shake the piss off the motion sensor turns the faucet on
