Man that is complicated, mine is very simple.
Maybe an upgrade with a Solenoids, a web enabled PLC, and an APP for your phone ? (or is that "for your throne" ?...
)

With respect, that's nonsense
The one I linked is excellent, have fitted hundreds without issue including on my own home
If you buy the cheapest, nastiest one I would agree, but not the one I linked

edited and fixed for youAnd what Bl... idiot fitted the toilet so close into the corner, so that you have to be a f..... contortionist to work on the bloomin’ thing. f.. bolts who the hell designed these things Oh, yes, that was me.
Ah now, you may have linked a good one, but most are rubbish, and buying dearer is no guarantee to not be buying said rubbish. Did you specifically say buy this one and not any other rubbish?
Sounds like I’m having a go, but actually it’s good to see that someone does make a decent version, and someone with experience (you) has tried and tested it. So to be clear the one you linked is the one to buy?
I’ll be having a look and hopefully replace the rubbish B&Q one I have with this, thanks!

Yes, fit the Fluid master one, and appropriate fill valve (side or bottom entry)
They do fail, but once fitted you can twist it out of the cradle and either straight swap or change the diaphragm, no need to ever split the cistern from the pan again
Current one in my house, with 2 adults and 2 teenagers lasted 4 years. I'd say that's not bad for a £15 part

id rather fit the twist off type of flush even the part is much cheaper and lasts longer than 4 years

Should probably add that we have exceptional hard water, that's the reason I have fitted hundreds. One I fitted in Bradford was at 10 years when I moved out
Years ago I was keen on a fan extractor, to outside, for obvious reasons. Turned out to be too difficult...

I would go to whatever lengths necessary to install one, and make sure it vents outside (not into the attic)
Not just for the VOC's, but also for the moisture when showering.

They have to be quite close to a corner otherwise you can't reach the toilet roll without standing up.I replaced mine as a whole kit. As has been said, to replace that silly bit of ‘cellophane’, meant removing the whole cistern anyway.
It did take me 3 years to finally get the courage/enthusiasm up to dismantle the cistern, and yes, both bolts broke. They always do.
And what idiot fitted the toilet so close into the corner, so that you have to be a contortionist to work on the bloomin’ thing. Oh, yes, that was me.
No no, not from the bathroom, from inside the porcelain telephone...

Better ! I like your thinking.
Of course you'd need an EE rated fan and controls....
