$530 to turn on a faucet with your voice? What?

Does it still work as a tap if the WiFi is down? :D

I know a number of germophobes who would want something like this to avoid touching the knob/lever while preparing meals etc.

An infra-red sensor, as implemented in many public toilets, seems like a less error-prone solution to that problem.

Or a pedal.
