Abstract: A liquid sensor, including: a) a housing; b) at least one sensor having at least two metallic contact surfaces for detecting a liquid; and c) a processing unit for processing sensor signals of the at least one sensor, a function of the liquid sensor being controllable by an actuation of at least one of the metallic contact surfaces. A method for controlling a function of a liquid sensor is also proposed.

Abstract: A sanitary device (1), comprising:



at least one dispenser (2, 3) for a liquid;
a basin (4) having a waste (5) for the liquid, and
a first thermostat (6) to which at least part of the liquid discharged via the waste (5) can be supplied as circulating liquid, wherein the first thermostat (6) can be used to mix warm water or cold water to the circulating liquid to form a temperature-controlled circulating liquid, and wherein the temperature-controlled circulating liquid can be supplied to the at least one dispenser (2, 3).

Abstract: A method for operating a sanitary fitting, and to a sanitary fitting. The sanitary fitting is equipped to deliver a water jet and has at least one manual actuator for manual regulation of at least one water jet flow rate or a water jet temperature, and a sensor arrangement that is equipped for sensor-controlled regulation of a predefined water jet flow rate and a predefined water jet temperature, wherein the sensor arrangement is equipped to detect the presence of an object in an external detection area and wherein a control unit is provided that is equipped to evaluate an object detected first and to distinguish whether the object detected first is a water jet or a different object. The present invention makes possible an economical production, the use of standard components, and low wear.
