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

This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects

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.

To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished

Cheaper than running plumbing through the walls

Because USB would be gross

Wrong community, this should be in pissposting

How else are you gonna get the pictures off it?

For many things. For IR or heat activated urinals you can set the sensitivity when they actuate, the flush volume, schedule regular cleaning cycles, and see statistics of usage, with some models remaining battery power, etc

When you are a maintenance guy in an office building with 100+ of these bad boys it helps a lot.

For pee counters and penis size statistics. Both very important in the world of science about the penis and the pee.

It needs to sell the pee data to advertisers.

how else is is the video supposed to get to my phone???

So it knows if you're subscribed to urinal services.

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

The difference in usage that badboy would get during a football game versus a gig at the same stadium would be enormous. Things like flush cycle frequency and when to turn the system on/off to conserve water. Nothing massively sinister - boring facility management stuff mostly.

It's a subscription based water cooler, obviously.

Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?

For the blockchain.

Now can somebody explain to me why this needs the blockchain?

Pee-powered shitcoin mining!
Or would that rather be... pisscoin?

It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee

Wireless pee

It's so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone

That's how they make the water cool 😎

You ever play Death Stranding? It's so they can turn your pee into grenades that harm ghosts.

It sells better

To transfer your pee via bluetooth, obviously.
