With all of this free time self-isolating, I began thinking: \"why not build my own bidet?\" And thus, another horrible internet of things project was born...\n\n## Butt what should it be able to do?\n- [ ] **📱 Mobile App Remote** - a locally hosted PWA to provide users with a streamlined butt washing UX  \n  (it doesn't exist if it doesn't have an app)\n  - [ ] **🎛 Pressure control** - everyone has their prefrence, precision pressure control is important\n  - [ ] **🚿 Spray control** - adjust spray size/dispursion\n  - [ ] **💗 Pulseation** - varying water pressure because that sounds nice\n  - [ ] **🌊 Oscillation** - widen the cleaning area\n  - [ ] **🔥 Heat control** - not sure I want to deal with heat coils, but it's on the list!\n  - [ ] **📈 Usage metrics** - log your toilet time and monitor water usage\n- [ ] **🚻 ButtID™** - uniquely identify the user (by weight?) and load their presets\n- [ ] **💬 Voice interaction** - don't be touching things\n- [ ] **🚽 Auto-Flush** - Flush the toilet automaticlly after use\n  - [ ] **🔰 Yellow-mellow mode** - thinking yellow to be green\n- [ ] **🚽 Auto-Open/Close** - Open on approach. Also maybe it could open and close the lid like a mouth and talk to you like a friend oh god i'm so lonely. Also maybe do foot direction detection to lift the lid and seat?\n- [ ] **🎶 Auto play music** - nobody wants to hear you in the bathroom. What better time to get turnt?\n- [ ] **💦 Auto moisten** - when you sit down it wets the sides so 💩 don't stick\n- [ ] **🎯 X/Y/(Z?)** - precision wand placement for 100% accuracy (not trying to soak those cheeks)\n- [ ] **👍 Commemorative sticker** - prints out a sticker with \"certified clean on dd/mm/YYYY\"\n- [ ] **🥒 Vegan** - that's right, it's totally vegan!\n\n... more soon!\n\n\u003e 💡 Have an idea that you don't see here?

The closest thing that I have experience with, at least conceptually, is an emergency add-on to my sump pump that I built when it broke (story for antother time). Basiclly I have no idea what I'm doing or where to start, but that's what makes for the best projects!\n\n### Approach\nAlways do the hardest thing first! I could build out the entire mobile app and a lot of the circuitry first, but those are the things I already know how to do... I'm going to tackle the plumbing first. Starting with, how does a bidet work?\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevancohen%2Fbidet","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fevancohen%2Fbidet","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevancohen%2Fbidet/lists"}
