A control unit for a plumbing assembly includes a first sensor for sensing a gesture and at least one direction associated with the gesture. The control unit also includes a first pair of sensors arranged along a first axis of the control unit, which determine a velocity of the gesture along the first axis. The control unit includes a second pair of sensors arranged a long a second axis of the control unit, which determine a velocity of the gesture along the second axis. The control unit includes at least one controller operably coupled to the first sensor, the first pair of sensors, and the second pair of sensors, where the at least one controller adjusts an operational state of the plumbing assembly based on the velocity of the gesture along the first axis, the velocity of the gesture along the second axis, and the at least one direction.
