When most people think of smart home accessories, they think of the living room, kitchen and bedroom. Rarely do people think about the bathroom, despite it being one of the most used rooms in the home.
Smart home technology goes far beyond simple tasks such as turning on the lights or changing the thermostat. With the right combination of technology, you can transform your bathroom into a completely new space with more utility and function than ever before. How to build the ultimate smart bathroom.
Install smart toilet
Let's face it: the toilet is the most important feature of any bathroom. It is the primary reason for the room's existence. Why not make the toilet the best it can be?
Installing a smart toilet like the Kohler 5401 can make a huge difference in your overall smart bathroom experience. Kohler 5401 has a built-in bidet with adjustable spray shape, water pressure, water temperature and more.
It also features automatic cleaning, an LCD touch screen remote control and an elongated design that looks perfectly at home in a modern smart bathroom space.
Add Smart Showerhead
A smart shower head can change your showering experience. For example, some are equipped with LEDs that change color when the water is above a certain temperature. Others can play music, like the Moxie Showerhead and Wireless Speaker.
The Moxie is manufactured by Kohler and functions like a normal shower, except it has a removable speaker. The speaker promises less than one percent distortion in sound with a seven-hour runtime. There are also 60 angled nozzles for full coverage spray.
You can listen to your favorite music or the morning news while you shower - just be careful not to spend too long in the shower.
Use Smart Scale
The bathroom is also go to the room to measure your own body weight. After all, the best measurements are taken when you're naked, and you can't do that in the kitchen.
A smart bathroom scale can automatically measure your weight, body mass index and many more data points for you and keep them stored in the app on your phone. The Withings Body Cardio scale is one of the best options that not only looks great, but syncs with Apple Watch, FitBit and Google Health.
It measures your water percentage, muscle and bone mass and much more and can store information from up to eight users. The scale can also automatically recognize who is standing on it. If you're trying to get in shape, this scale is a must-have.
Smart Toothbrush
There are many different options out there for powered toothbrushes, but a smart toothbrush is an electric toothbrush with a twist. These differ by providing the user with analytics on their brushing habits to help improve their overall oral hygiene.
Oral-B announced a new smart toothbrush at CES 2020 called Oral-B iO that uses a pressure sensor to tell you if you're brushing too soft, too hard, or just right. It also has a built-in display on the face to provide feedback.
The toothbrush counts up to two minutes to let you know if you've brushed long enough, and it also has seven different cleaning methods, including daily cleaning, sensitive and whitening.
Perhaps best of all, the Oral-B iO comes with a travel case so you can take it with you anywhere.
Smart Mirror
You use the bathroom to shave, put on make-up and get dressed - and you need a mirror for all these tasks. A smart mirror can take your morning routine from routine to extraordinary, and it can even help you reach your fitness goals.
NakedLabs' smart mirror can even display a 3D model of your body that you can rotate and zoom in on, so you can look at the parts of yourself you normally can't see. With its scanning capability, you can compare side-by-side models of up to ten of your previous scans.
Other types of smart mirrors have Alexa built in, can show the weather and much more. A smart mirror is in the same way as an all-in-one stop for your morning routine that can help you be prepared for the day ahead.
Smart mirrors are available full-length and right down to make-up mirrors. There are many options out there, but you can also find instructions on how to build a smart mirror yourself with a Raspberry Pi and a little elbow grease. Decide which features you want in a smart mirror and find the ones that work best for you.
