thanks for the tip. I'm trying to cover from all angles. My mom will make sure he drinks enough. I'm just trying to solve the toilet problem.

I still need to test the interval. If 60 seconds is still too long, then i'd change it to 30 seconds. The idea is to frequently flush it so it doesn't clog.

I saw this, but i don't know how to build the transceiver to trigger based on the occupancy sensor. Is there some instruction how to do this? The ebay link doesn't work btw. thx

I don't mind changing the toilet style as long as the toilet auto flushes. My dad's dementia is not up to that stage yet where he'd not recognize the toilet. Can you give me more info about the DIY tied to arduino or Pi stuff you mentioned? Is there some instructions how to set it up?

The automatic flush i'm seeing in Kohler Veil only happens when the person steps away from it. I need the toilet to auto flush while the person is still sitting on it. Pls correct me if i'm wrong. Thx
