Mira Platinum is a new wireless digital mixer shower that offers a more refined and flexible user experience for both consumers and installers. The design of the user interface combines intuitive controls with refined graphical elements that together create a more tactile and human experience. The user has instant control of both shower outlets while water temperature and flow rate are easily fine-tuned to suit individual needs by rotating the bezel. The rechargeable User Interface is attached to the wall using a magnetic cradle, this ensures it can be easily removed for charging via a standard USB-C cable.
As consumers try to make their lives easier and more efficient by investing in smart home technology, the bathroom has become the latest focal point. The desire for digitally enabled user experiences that are both meaningful and practical is growing. Platinum satisfies these needs with simple and intuitive controls that require minimal learning and allows consumers to curate tailored experiences to suit their mood.
The distinctly digital yet paired back user interface is deliberately designed to be recessive and only displays what is essential to the user, removing the anxiety and complication consumers often experience with many other digital interfaces in their homes. The use of chrome provides an aesthetic link with other bathroom hardware, by using it more sparingly wireless performance is maximised.
The user interface links to the digital valve wirelessly and allows users to adjust temperature and flow level accurately out of two outlets simultaneously (handset and overhead) using the rotary dial and 4-way rocker switch. The Mira Showers Home button provides access to a range of settings and customisable functions, including pre- sets which can be tailored to individual needs from anywhere in the home via the Mira app. The interaction logic has been honed to provide an intuitive experience that is also energy efficient, the user can choose from a range of settings which can extend the time between charges to at least four months.
In using semi-translucent plastic and inverting the traditional balance between chrome and black, the user interface represents a break from the traditional shower controller aesthetic. As Mira’s premium digital offering, Platinum represents the brand values by adding meaningful value to the user experience while also promoting the responsible use of water.
By utilizing the advantages of the digital valve, Mira Platinum allows consumers to understand their water consumption habits through the communication of usage data in a clear and easily understandable way. Mira’s shower dashboard and app allows for this information to be automatically stored at the end of every shower, enabling consumers to continue living more sustainable lives. As a more environmentally friendly proposition it enables consumers to save water, energy and money during use, it has also been designed to be disassembled without damage for repair or recycling.
