Kohler's smart toilet brings voice assistant into bathrooms

Your toilet just might have answers to your most pressing questions -- if you own the Kohler Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet. The toilet with Alexa built right into will be on display at CES 2019.
The Kohler Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet exists in a space somewhere between luxury and excess. According to the company, the toilet has practical features like water efficiency checks that make sure you're never using more water than necessary. It has convenient features like smart lighting that makes it easy to see your way around the bathroom even in the dead of night - and those lights are interactive, multicolored, and dynamic so they can adjust to the setting.
It even has personalized cleansing functions that make sure the toilet is set to your specifications, including a heated seat and drying functionality.
Then there's a feature that you probably never thought you'd see in a toilet: Voice control. The Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet has high-quality speakers built right into it, and those speakers come equipped with Amazon's voice assistant Alexa. If you have a question while you're sitting on the toilet, just ask Alexa. You can also run your home automation processes while in the bathroom. You can even have Alexa queue up your favorite playlist and watch the toilet's lights sync up to the beat. Your bathroom can double as your own personal dance club if you so desire.
“Connected technology is driving innovation in the smart home category, but connectivity alone isn’t enough. We believe in leading with design and seamlessly incorporating the right technologies so that our customers can personalize their bathroom experiences to be just right for them,” David Kohler, president and CEO of Kohler, said in a statement.
While the Alexa-compatible toilet is the highlight of the show for Kohler, the company also has a suite of connected products debuting at CES. The Veil Lighted Bathroom Collection connects through the Kohler Konnect app and offers voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant. The company is also rolling out the Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror, a bathroom mirror with Google Assistant support built into it.
The Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2019. You can get it in a white finish for $7,000 or black for $8,000. The Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror will start at $1,249 and can go for as much as $1,624 depending on the size. It'll gain Google Assistant support in the fourth quarter of 2019.

From slayy point 😂

[@Zoranurai13]

“Good morning toilet, how are you doing today?” “Hi, I heard from siri that you ate indian food yesterday, please go to a different toilet”

[@nicholasd7731]

True.

[@shotelco]

I enjoy my throne time just like the next guy. Playing phone games or reading the newspaper. But I won't humiliate my dignity any further for the sake of technology by having a verbal conversation with the toilet I just took a massive dump in.

[@betsyrocks]

I don't like the idea of Alexa listening to me having a splatter fest after last night's curry

[@MysticalKO]

@@betsyrocks bro I’m just happy there’s no camera or made by Facebook

[@HoraceHarriott]

At first I thought this was dumb, but having my toilet read the news and weather during my morning dump is actually genius

[@raulduke3237]

1920: "In 2019, world hunger will be solved and mankind will unite" 2019: *tOiLeTs YoU sHiT iN*

[@Divy.]

Anyone after SLAYY POINT 😅

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

I'll have my diocese order these for my private high school where I work as the assistant principal

[@muslimgigachad4672]

Finally I found this video and After slayy point😂😂😂😂

[@FireFoxBancroft]

Alexa: "That last shit you dropped was a big as a grown mans forearm. May I suggest a change in your diet?"

[@thatocelot879]

When you're sitting on the toilet: "Alexa, start my bath." 20 minutes later: "Time to take a bath."

[@ShawnMKouri]

That thing was supposed to go on sale in 2019, then 2020. Here we are in 2022, Numi 2.0 has not even gone on sale. They didn’t even announce pre-orders nor launch pre-orders. What is going on? What is going on?

[@HunkMine]

A smart bath sounds like there could save a small amount of time witg autofill, but the smart toliet is dead on arrival. It's always faster and more convenient to just flash and open the toliet. Only use could be for people with severe disabilities

[@joshberith]

Does it still work in case of power shortage ?

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

no, it uses a hand crank

[@jonathanalea]

Hey google, preheat toilet seat!

[@nilpabenpatel4739]

Slayy point 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stormense]

DT must be the most quite channel on YT?

[@CorvusCorax.]

If it's so smart...why is it a toilet?? 🤔

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

"ALEXA!!!!!!! ORDER MORE TOILET PAPER!" "adding toilet paper to your shopping cart"

[@AutumnApril92]

So now your toilet can hear u and record u.

[@jcrockoo7]

It should automatically lift the toilet seat as well because some guys don't know how to aim. If you know what I mean. But, like the father said in the movie Friday when Smokey asked to use his restroom. "Are you gonna take a #1 or a #2?"

[@Tippy2forU]

It does lift the seat.

[@arkinni]

*someone tweeted on this 😂*

[@damandbass]

"Alexa, wipe my arse". I know, that was the lowest hanging fruit.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

I have one of these....and I love saying "ALEXA! FLUSH THAT SHIT" and she flushes the toilet

[@CorePixels]

Takes like 5 seconds for that lid to come up. Too much time if you gotta go gotta go!

[@yaboy20071]

That was my first thought when I saw how long it took the lid to come up. I bid mercy on the person who's reeeeeaaaaallly has to go! lol

[@MysticalKO]

Yeah psychology says if your in the bathroom you can’t hold it.

[@momentohermano3174]

lmao they made gucci smart toilets into a real thing

[@yashrajsoni4051]

ohhh smart potty

[@Ray__E]

[@bismarchiavelli]

Felt like an #ad :/

[@KerimKero1903]

[@unanimated7084]

[@rsandoz]

Alexa, please post my latest work on ratemypoop

[@anatloijbujlin6127]

Ничего себе очень солино открывается крышка унитаза. Здорово, да и очень даже впечатляет. А вот как можно сесть на сидение унитаза Коллер? Просто интересно узнать.

[@gddangit]

It's RGB TOILET

[@sissynobby]

Life in pieces

[@abboudelias4296]

Sounds like a new level of laziness that’s deigned for show and tell.

[@AminAramoon]
