Last night, I woke up to an unfamiliar noise.
The shower toilet had activated its wash function even though no one was sitting on it... in the middle of the night... hours after the last use.
If I hadn’t noticed it by chance (the door between the bathroom and bedroom was open), we would now have water damage. Fortunately, only the opposite wall was affected and the carpet got wet, but the operation stopped after a few minutes.
It is an AXENT.ONE model, which seemed to me the best of all the ones we looked at.
I have contacted the manufacturer and am awaiting their response.
My "feeling" is that from now on I can’t leave the house without turning off the circuit breaker for the toilet.
Even if I always keep the lid closed, water could leak through the gap – not to mention that water is quite expensive here in Northern Hesse.
I wouldn’t want to be without the function itself. From my perspective, cleaning with water is the only sensible option... but THIS.
I just had to tell someone...
What can I do now? … no idea...

Power outage on only one phase? I’m not an electrician, but I don’t think that’s something that can happen “that easily.” ... I’m convinced that wasn’t the cause (without being able to explain it in detail). I don’t know the toilet in detail. However, I can well imagine that the installed electronics may not always function correctly if there is or was a phase outage. I can share an example involving an induction cooktop (touch controls). There was also a single-phase outage, and the resident wanted to cook something. The display with the clock and other functions worked normally, but the hob elements didn’t. After power was fully restored, one of the cooking zones turned on by itself when a pot was placed on it. Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened after that.
A single-phase outage is not unrealistic at all. You just usually don’t notice it because others typically react faster and contact the utility provider. The rest happens behind the scenes. You don’t even notice the repair of the affected cable anymore. These days, work is usually done live, without shutting off the power.
What only makes me suspicious is the LED light, which is supposed to stay on continuously.

I'm just a bit skeptical about the LED light that is supposed to stay on all the time. Exactly!
Although it's a different aspect, I would also like it if the light could be turned off.
It is practical for finding your way in the bathroom at night, but I prefer darkness (where it belongs), and for my taste, night should be dark.
One possible reason for the "always on" version is that the people at AXENT have integrated all important functions (direction of the jet, temperature, pressure – and I don’t know what else) into one button.
Once it is set, I hardly adjust anything except switching it "off" and "on."

If I were the designer of a shower toilet, I would include a feature—similar to the light in a refrigerator—that allows water to flow only when weight is applied to the toilet seat.We are also considering whether a shower toilet fits into our budget! We would want to go with Geberit. By the way, their models include the weight sensor feature!
The next generation will surely have an analysis function. Together with the smart watch and the smart refrigerator, online food orders will then be automatically adjusted in case of poor metabolism and unfavorable body metrics.
Somehow, these thoughts make me feel apprehensive about the future.
