You would have to see how things are hooked up to your water heater (IE: valves and what not). But the idea would be pretty simplistic. You make a servo controlled by a timer, set the timer to turn the servo one way say...1 hour before you plan to getup/shower (your shower would have to be planned and consistant) and when the temperature hits the right level in the tank, it will shut off the gas/electric/etc. and the timer will start over again...the only tricky bit would be linking the tanks temp control to the timer, the timer by itself wouldn't be too hard.
