Everything is better with Bluetooth, obviously
For pee counters and penis size statistics. Both very important in the world of science about the penis and the pee.
Jokes on them dicks too small for sensors
So they can have an app on your phone. Easy advertisement through notifications, and can suckle the personal data teat
You ever play Death Stranding? It's so they can turn your pee into grenades that harm ghosts.
It's had Bluetooth or just have the Bluetooth symbol on it?
I knew the sink used Bluetooth, but the urinal is new.
According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals
Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays "It's Raining Men" every time it flushes... Now that would really be something
Finally! It's always disgusting to touch those public urinal manuals 🤢
I also always end up peeing myself, so I'm glad there is an app to guide me now!
Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?

Wait till they load it with 'AI.'
No, please. We just escaped blockchain
I think we SHOULD train AI on all our bodily excretions. How else will it learn to understand the human condition?
Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?
There'll probably be a little box somewhere in that toilet I assume that controls all of the urinals there that is networked.
It’s a very enterprise thing to do. Ensuring your company gets a contract for long term support and installation.
Seeing as they could accomplish basically the same thing with an indicator and a QR code, its crazy a bt chip and antenna were both used in this. My only remaining question: how is it powered?
Yeah you're right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.
One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.
when technology became cheap enough to implement, so they can sell it as features
BT can be used to track people. Maybe they need to know how many people are using it? Or they are stalking men who pee.
What about Rihanna?
Umbrella-ella-ella-ella-ella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
this's like that fancy japanese toilet South Park episode, and my peasant ass will never know what it's like to piss like a Kennedy
It sells better
oh god, how long until we see AI powered urinals?
It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee
it's called taking a "selfpee"
My guess is tagging employees when they service the bathrooms.
To stream piss from you into the devive
It’s got a built in speaker you can pair your phone to if you have an official pee song, mine is CombatCircus, by Talco
Sounds dumb but once you’re synced up it’s hands free and the experience is really relaxing
This is the most realistic sounding explanation and I'm really gullible
The Bluetooth Device is ready to pair!
hands-free? explain.
So it knows if you're subscribed to urinal services.
Wireless pee
That's how they make the water cool 😎
To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished
It's so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone
This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects
Be the change you want to pee.
Thanks I hate it (or like it).
Serious answer: it's a "smart" urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.
If you're in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.
Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal
Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?
Maybe finally someone will take into account Yaw
So you can play your favorite, relaxing playlist.
