Abstract
The application relates to a control device comprising a control element that can be rotated on a first functional level, an electronic controller, an electric power supply, and a base for mounting the control device. Said control device is designed to control plumbing appliances comprising a water discharge point and an electronically controlled mixing valve that has a cold water connection and a hot water connection. The flow or the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge point can be changed by rotating the control element. The control device according to the invention is characterized in that the control element can be moved onto a second functional level by performing a lifting movement, said second functional level extending parallel to and at a distance from the first functional level. Furthermore, the control device comprises a spring element which elastically retains the control element on the first functional level, the control element being movable onto the second functional level against the resistance of the spring element. The temperature or the flow of the water discharged from the water discharge point can be changed by rotating the control element on the second functional level.
