Toilet overflow prevention in bidet seat

A toilet seat arrangement includes a toilet seat that is installed above a toilet bowl. A bidet nozzle is installed on the toilet seat and ejects water into a space above the toilet bowl such that the water falls into the toilet bowl. A water level sensor is installed on the toilet seat and detects a level of water in the toilet bowl. The water level sensor transmits a signal indicative of the level of water in the toilet bowl. A shutoff valve allows water to flow to a toilet tank fill valve when the shutoff valve is in an open position, and prevents water from flowing to the toilet tank fill valve when the shutoff valve is in a closed position. An electronic processor controls whether the shutoff valve is in the open position or the closed position dependent upon the signal from the water level sensor.
