Abstract
The present invention relates controlling ratio of mixing hot and cold water of an electronic faucet by setting a mixing valve with an electronics actuator using two infrared sensors without touching to the faucet or its accessories. The system consists of two infrared sensors (IR), red and blue light emitting diodes, a mixing valve, an actuator, a temperature sensor and its display. When a user enters effective working range of the left or the right IR sensors the actuator actuate the mixing valve to change hot/cold water mixing ratio of the faucet. The IR sensors located on the left side of the faucet increase hot water ratio and IR sensor located on the right side of the faucet increase cold water ratio of the faucet when a user enters the effective working range of the IR sensors.
