  • I have not seen that in the US and didn’t know it existed, but I have not really looked anywhere other than the usual home Depot or Lowe’s, so I don’t know what new home designers are doing. We just installed an electronic version that has temp, volume, and wand vs overhead switch controls and presets on a wall mount thing. Of course it comes with an app, but we just use the controller on the wall. Maybe not as dependable as a mechanical control, but works fine so far.

    Most controls I see in the US, like in houses and hotels, are all-in-one type things where you basically have to have max volume to get hot water. Usually inside the control you can set a max temp that limits the percent hot water in the mix. Some have separate volume and temp controls, but I don’t know if they’re doing anything fancy like you describe; and a few old homes have separate hot and cold knobs, but that’s rare.
