If they can put a thermostat in cars and crock-pots, why not a shower? Automatically adjust hot/cold ratio to maintain a constant water temperature. Could even be powered by water flow through a small turbine, like those intelligent toilets.

'Anti-scald valves'. Standard code at least in Florida...work by balancing the pressure of the hot and cold water; if the cold pressure suddenly lowers, the hot pressure goes down to compensate. |

A while back when I was younger, there was a Heathkit kit for a nice digital shower thermostat. Had a little digital display and two big waterproof buttons. Was pretty neat looking but very expensive. |
