Problem Statement

Have you ever stepped into the shower on a cold crisp morning only to be greeted by freezing cold water? Have you struggled to find that temperature that’s just right for you because the shower knobs are too vague and confusing? Well so has Amrita. Although she loves taking showers, Amrita hates having to fiddle endlessly with her shower knobs and test the water temperature before getting in the shower. It ruins her shower experience, makes her late for class, and it adds to her water bill.

Amrita also deeply cares about the environment, and she doesn’t want to waste too much water. She wishes there was a way she could keep track of her water consumption while showering to try to be more aware of how much water she is using.

After listening to Amrita voice all of her shower concerns, it was clear she needed an IoT appliance that could get her to enjoy the entire shower experience while also getting her to become more aware of her water usage. Although Amrita specifically suffers from this problem, it is one that many people can also relate to, and it is of great significance. That is why we have chosen to focus on the creation of an interactive shower system that can take away all of her shower concerns.
