ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a wireless temperature monitoring system useful in reducing the risk of scalding to the users of a faucet. The system includes a temperature sensor/transmitter attached to the end of a faucet which communicates via a wireless link to a controller. The wireless link is particularly advantageous in the installation of the system on a faucet. One embodiment of the system includes a user detector for touchless control of the flow of water from a faucet. The invention may also provide a digital display with audio and/or visual alarms to indicate if a pre-set maximum temperature has been exceeded and a shut-off valve to interrupt flow of water to the faucet.
