SMART touchless faucets are here to stay

Touchless faucets are growing in popularity and replacing single-lever faucets at an increasing rate both in private homes and public buildings. A touchless faucet offers improved hygiene, safety and better water management – all while using the same fixtures as traditional taps.

That’s great news for installers because touchless faucets are also easy to install, monitor and maintain – making the installation work faster and more efficient. Their Bluetooth-enabled sensors can be controlled via a mobile app, allowing for greater flexibility and hygiene during maintenance.

Remote access is an important advantage, especially when working in public or semi-public buildings and in delicate environments such as healthcare facilities. It is also possible to track and measure faucet details such as water consumption, battery life and more.

How the Oras App can help installers

App users get access to essential product information, so you can adjust settings and get reports of actions affecting the faucet. All you need is a mobile device. Additionally, you can:

• Quickly identify Oras faucets with Bluetooth sensors within approximately a 10-meter radius
• Access insights such as remaining battery life, water consumption and current settings
• Personalise settings for customers
• Transfer saved settings to other faucets
• Receive customer reports of malfunctioning faucets by email, allowing you to remotely analyse the potential issue and plan what you’ll need for repairs beforehand
• Save time adjusting Oras sensor faucets

How the Oras App can help faucet users and maintenance teams

The easy-to-use app makes it easy to monitor faucets’ use, a particularly useful feature for public and semi-public buildings. Building facilitators can control:

• Automatic flushing to avoid stagnating water in the faucets and pipes, preventing bacteria like legionella from forming in the pipes when faucets are not in use
• Adjust sensor sensitivity and the sensor area to control how close users need to be to the faucet before it turns on
• After flow time to limit how long the water should continue once hands are removed from the sensor’s range
• Battery level to see when it’s time to swap batteries
• Total water consumption and how many times the faucet has been used

Models launched in 2023 and after also support, depending on the faucet technical installation, functions like

• Off periods
• Temperature measurement
• Electronic antiscalding protection
• Digital service connection
• Multi-connection accessories like remote control
