“Alexa Spell iCup” New Smart Toilet by Kohler

New smart toilet offers 'fully-immersive experience'

Smart toilets are here, offering a "fully-immersive experience" for people to carry out their business from the bathroom throne.

 

Complete with speakers, ambient lighting and heated seats, luxury bathroom manufacturer Kohler says its Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet offers "personalised cleansing" for the discerning customer.

 

And as a bonus, Alexa is built into the toilet so you can drop beats and ask questions without using your hands.

I’m hoping for it to include the water jets. Not sure how immersive you can get. I’ve heard of heated toilet seats, self cleaning toilet seats, but not quite “Smart”. For me, I’d quite like an automatic air freshener dispenser, especially after Christmas.

Too lazy to manually flush? Ask and Amazon's personal assistant will do it for you.

 

"The lighting features on Kohler's flagship intelligent toilet have been upgraded from static colours to dynamic and interactive multi-coloured ambient and surround lighting," Kohler's press release says.

 

"Paired with the new speakers in the Numi toilet, these lighting and audio enhancements create a fully-immersive experience for homeowners.

 

"Amazon Alexa built into the product provides simple voice control of Numi's features and access to tens of thousands of skills, as well as a seamless integration of voice control into the bathroom.

Looks good for HomeKit integration for a full smart home experience. The toilet is said to cost $10,000 NZD ($6,750 USD).

 

If the video does not play in your region, it’s just the ad from Kohler, not a news report :/

 

Smart Alexa toilet vs Linus’ singing fish? Can’t wait for this to be on holy $hit. 

 

[EDIT]

Thanks to @LukeSavenije for dumping this news sooner (maybe), unfortunately flushed away by the mods. 50/50 credit for this pootiful piece of news.

I could never understand how people are comfortable with their butt being washed after a poop. Like seriously, wouldn't your clothes get wet? :P 

 

Alexa, plz relax music for pooping.

It’s a big thing to wash ur butt in EU and Saudi. They have bidets and sort of mini showers. Not very popular in my region, but it must be nice on a hot day or after long car ride.

Emm... No. But I don't take my shirt off for poop and my pants are on the floor near my legs. Water tends to spill to everywhere :(

They're kinda common in old buildings in the UK but nobody actually uses them since they're either broken or in pressure washer mode.

You know, I remember watching an old Supernews video about the Google Toilet, which was basically poking fun at Google's privacy criticisms at the time. That was made at some point before 2010, so a long time has come since. 

 

And, well, I never thought it would become real...

I feel like flapping your gums that much eould take more energy than just flushing.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

No idea why people are making fun of this, it’s actually common to find such toilets in Korea and Japan, and some parts of China 

 

in fact, it’s specifically western countries like America and Europe who’ve shunned the idea so it’s not them, it’s “us” who has the problem of advancing

No it's not.

What you're thinking of are the toilet seats which has things such as bidet functionality. Thinks like "press a button and some water gets spray at your bum". That's at worst a bit weird, and at best pretty functional.

 

This is a toilet which connects to the Internet, records what you say inside your bathroom and lets companies listen to it.

 

You'd think that people would be hesitant to put Internet-connected microphones into their bathrooms but sadly I don't think the Average Joe will even stop and think about it. And if you don't think Amazon and Google will use these microphones to harvest data about you, you're naive.

 

The whole "connected bathroom" thing is actually really cool. Multiple shower heads which can be individually controlled, with personalized lighting as well as steam features, which can all be controlled from an app or even from your bathroom mirror? Hell yeah. Sounds like the future.

But I want all of this controlled locally. Not by sending things to Google or some other company.

YES

 

finally I'll be free from pressing ONE BUTTON in exchange for Amazon knowing my bathroom habits.

I hate alexa, Google home and all that shit but this takes it to another level. If your house has this, I'd rather shit my pants

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I went to Europe as a I’d and had no idea what it was for. I think I just fell in one and gave up.
