What do house guests do?

“Let me know when you’re done and I can flush the toilet though the app.”

Or

“Download this app to flush the toilet once at my house.”

    I think it was voice activated.

    The app was probably for additional stuff.

    I would hope just motion activated. I really don't want to have to yell at my toilet either.

    Yeah. I'm absolutely opposed to unnecessarily "smart" devices.

    I have a strong aversion to voice activated anything. Smartphones have had voice assistant's since forever but whenever I've tried it I just find it to be a clunky awkward imprecise user interface.

    Why do something in a few clicks when 10 minutes of miscommunication will do?

    In-house toilet facilities are more or less a solved problem. These idiots un-solved it.

    Poker night: Read 'em and weep boys, straight flush!

    From the other room: *flushing noises*

    Well it is sound activated, it flushes when it detects the "aaaaaaaaaah" sound of relief after refuse vacation has completed.

    If there is no such sound, obviously your work is not done, and there is no need to flush.
