    Abstract: A shower system includes on one or more valves and a plurality of showerheads. The plurality of showerheads are electrically coupled to one another and configured to receive electrical signals from one another. The plurality of showerheads are fluidly coupled to the one or more valves and configured to receive water therefrom. The plurality of showerheads includes a sprayer, one or more sensors, and an integrated user interface. The sprayer is configured to dispense water provided by the one or more valves. The one or more sensors are configured to register motion gestures made by a user. The integrated user interface is configured to control operation of the sprayer. The one or more sensors generates an internal signal to the plurality of showerheads corresponding to the motion gesture. One of the plurality of showerheads is a master showerhead.

    Abstract: A system for detecting and communicating a mechanical valve position in a faucet is provided. The system includes a mechanical valve having an open state and a closed state, a control stem configured to selectively operate the valve between the open state and the closed state, a member movable between an open position and a closed position in response to operation of the mechanical valve between the open state and the closed state. The system further includes a ring disposed at least partially around the mechanical valve and having a switch disposed on the ring. Moving the member from the closed position to the open position actuates the switch.
