Abstract

Eine Steuerungseinrichtung ist für Sanitärgegenstände, insbesondere Sprudelbäder oder Whirlpools vorgesehen, wobei wenigstens ein von einem Benutzer steuerbares Funktionselement (2) vorgesehen ist. Die Steuerungseinrichtung soll dahingehend weitergebildet werden, daß eine einfache und gleichwohl funktionssichere Betätigung ermöglicht wird, wobei eine einfache Anpassung an die jeweiligen Einsatzbedingungen durchführbar sein soll. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Steuerung in Abhängigkeit von akustischen Signalen (5) und/oder von gesprochenen Befehlen eines Benutzers erfolgt.

A control device is provided for sanitary objects, in particular whirlpools or whirlpools, at least one functional element (2) controllable by a user being provided. The control device is to be further developed in such a way that a simple and nevertheless functionally reliable actuation is made possible, wherein a simple adaptation to the respective operating conditions should be possible. It is proposed that the control be carried out as a function of acoustic signals (5) and / or of spoken commands from a user.
