    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.

      Imagine if there was a leaderboard. Longest pee, most volume, most yellow, etc. You would need video to prove that they didn’t cheat though.

        You mean PeeTube? PeeTube is also the name of the astronaut pee device based pee device that doesn’t need video to measure your penis length. Simply insert your penis into the spring loaded tube (it’s just a tube with lots of springs in it). As your penis skin touches the springs, the penis length is measured. The current model is a 256SpT (Springs per Tube), which allows for a penis length resolution in 12"/256 increments.

    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.

      Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal

    For the blockchain.

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

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

      30 years later… Today is a day that will leave in yellow infamy! As pisscoin collapses, many drunkards and even regular people are finding creative ways of pissing outside the American standard urinal!
