Japanese showers for the win: temperature is written right there on the nob for many.
Isn't there a physical limit to solving this problem? For me the problem is typically, that the water in the hot pipe has cooled down, so the first few seconds/half a minute it slowly rises in temperature until finally the pump of the boiler sets in to pump actually hot water back into the system. Only then can I reliably find a temperature mix that stays stable.
Mine is digital. Just set to desired temp and power and away you go.
Is it powered by the water pressure?
No, it's got a mixer box (for want of a better word) in the attic that's plugged into the mains.
There's a wireless dial that talks to that, and the water itself comes from the gas combi boiler, rather than electrically heated.
I think it was this one.

Quite a bit more expensive than a regular thermostatic mixer shower, but since I was having the whole bathroom done I figured why not spend a bit extra on some nicer stuff. The labour is still the most expensive part by far.
