An example electronic steam seat device includes a base section that is removably engaged to a steam chamber that is removably engaged to a seat section. The base section includes (i) a receptacle removably positioned in its central cavity, (ii) a heating element for heating the receptacle, (iii) a control interface, and (iv) a control system configured to operate the heating element based on temperature data. The steam chamber includes (i) a temperature sensor positioned at a top portion of the steam chamber and configured to provide the temperature data to the control system for operating the heating element, (ii) a conductive contact that is positioned along a bottom edge of the steam chamber and removably coupled to the control system when the steam chamber is engaged with the base section, and (iii) a cable that connects the temperature sensor to the conductive contact.

An outdoor furniture item (1) includes at least one seating and/or lying unit (3), a first shell element (5), and a second shell element (7). The first shell element (5) and/or the second shell element (7) can be selectively rearranged into a first configuration and into a second configuration with respect to the respective other shell element (7, 5). In the first configuration, the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) are at least partly nested in one another. In the second configuration the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) together enclose an essentially closed inner space, in which the at least one seating and/or lying unit (3) is located.

A sauna having heating and lighting elements includes control circuitry which links the sauna to a remote server. The remote server provides information and media files for presentation to a user and collects and stores user profile and usage information. Multiple saunas are be linked into a network or global infrastructure so that a user's profile and usage information follow the user to any sauna connected to the network. Collected data can be used by users to track individual usage and performance metrices, and by service providers to analyze usage data and information for operational and marketing purposes.
