    How long before someone does this with bathroom stalls?

    The people at Icepick have included toilet stats in their wired house, namely temperature and duration; man, I hope temperature refers to bathroom temperature and not...ugh.

  3. The Wired House by pausz · · Score: 4, Interesting · on MIT's Bathroom Server
    Check out Icepick.com. They wired their entire house onto the net, including their:

    1. Doorbell usage
    2. Frontdoor camera
    3. Trashbin scanner
    4. Cat tracker
    5. Microwave usage
    6. Fridge openings and temperature
    7. Phone usage
    8. and yes: Toilet usage


    They measure how often the toilet gets flushed, and for how long (I guess you can work out statistics on "difficult flushing jobs" :-). They also measure the temperature in the place; around 14.5 C (58.1 F). Not really a place you want to hang out for too long...

    I get fed up with people who want to web-enable everything in your entire house.

    Well, maybe you're not really into this big brother thing. Some guy overhere in The Netherlands is however so interested in it that he web-enabled his entire house including his frigde and his recylce bin.

    You should talk to this guy (be sure to visit the toilet).

    I saw this about a year ago. I don't know how useful it is , but it's good to hold your attention for a minute or two. More homes like this could make for some interesting "how we live" studies.
