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.
