With Kohler Konnect, Kohler Co.'s new smart bathroom
system, you won't have to press the lever to flush the toilet anymore.
Instead, the new Numi toilet, Kohler's most advanced model,
will be voice- or motion-activated to sense when you're done with your business
and will flush it away.
Meanwhile, you'll be surrounded in preset ambient lighting
and Bluetooth-synced music while you are pampered with a heated seat and a foot
warmer.
“Voice services and connected devices have become integrated
into every facet of the home — with the notable exception of the bathroom,
until now,” David Kohler, president and CEO of Kohler Co., said in a statement.
“We provide thoughtful design and technologies that offer convenience and
functionality to enrich your personalized experiences, making them easier, more
comfortable, and more enjoyable. Whether you’re getting ready for work, helping
your children through their evening bedtime routine or simply in need of some
personal relaxation, Kohler Konnect is the next evolution of our leading-edge
kitchen and bathroom innovations that help make these everyday moments better.”
Consumers can interact with Kohler Konnect by using voice
commands, hands-free motion control and personalized presets managed through a
new application for iPhones and Android devices
Consumers can operate the kitchen faucet, control features
of an intelligent toilet, adjust the lighting embedded in a bathroom mirror,
run a shower and fill a bath to a desired depth and temperature all by
using voice commands.

their experience with Kohler products through app presets and automate everyday
tasks in the kitchen and bath through voice control. (Photo: Business

Powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, Kohler
Konnect enables consumers to set up preferences, automate everyday tasks and
monitor water usage of paired products.
The Kohler Konnect system will be compatible with Amazon
Alexa, the Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.
The itemized Kohler Konnect system will be available for
purchase in March with the following price points: $999 to $1,299 for the
Verdera voice-lighted mirror, $3,300 for the DTV+ shower system, $160 for the
PureWarmth toilet seat and $5,625 to $7,825 for the Numi intelligent
toilet.
