Glossary

Buddy

Flush plate with Time-of-Flight sensors that offers benefits in terms of comfort, hygiene and water saving.

Spectre

The sensor installed in the toilet bowl that houses the patented IPEE technology. IPEE Spectre detects what's happening inside the bowl based on the water level and salt concentration.

Smart Detect

The algorithm that interprets small and big usage and makes a suggestion for the required flushing volume.

NightGuide

An LED light that sits below the toilet bowl and illuminates the floor to guide users at night.

False flush

A flush that's triggered by an incorrect interpretation of the situation by the sensing technology. False flushes are very common in automatic sanitary ware based on infrared technology. As this technology can only detect movement in front of the sensor, a lot of unintented flushes are caused when a user walks by, moves, bends over or is wearing high-viz clothing. False flushes result in huge water wastes and are uncomfortable for the user.

Overflow prevention

Technology that prevents the toilet from overflowing as a result of an automatic flush on top of a clogged toilet.

Time-of-Flight

The optical sensors used in IPEE Buddy. Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors allow precise distance sensing, making it an excellent fit for both user detection and hand gesturing.
