My first response to this was, "you've got to be kidding me, how pointless"... But then the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was quite genius! If you think about it, most people spend a decent amount of time in front of their faucet throughout the day. Wether brushing your teeth, shaving or washing your hands you can now check email or the weather while doing any of those without bringing your laptop with. Now if they could just make it know when I want to brush my teeth vs wash my hands so I never have to adjust the temperature at all!
