When it comes to having the latest in technology throughout your house, the odds are pretty good that the room you give consideration to the least is going to be the bathroom. Most people do not spend a great deal of time in the bathroom and it is not a room that you typically think of as one requiring any gadgetry at all beyond your electric razor or toothbrush. That being said, there are actually a number of innovations occurring today in technology that bring some high-tech gadgets into the bathroom to make your time in there more enjoyable. Here are just a few of the latest items showing up in bathroom technology today.
- Bluetooth Shower Head – Finding a good way to listen to your favorite playlist when you are in the shower in the morning can be a lot easier when you have a Bluetooth shower head. These wireless speakers can connect right to your smartphone or device and play the music you want clearly and the speaker works on a re-chargeable battery so you can five or six hours of play from the speaker before needing to give it a charge. There are several options available from Kohler, a leader in faucets and showerheads, right now at good prices.
- Wi-Fi Scales – For those that may be watching their weight and are keeping close track of their progress, these Wi-Fi scales can help you to chart everything properly and with ease. All of the information from the scale, including your weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), heart rate readings and more can be sent directly to your smartphone or computer so that you can keep an accurate log of your progress. The scale even works on user recognition so that it can have up to eight different users using the scale along the way.
- The Smart Toilet – While this may not be within everyone’s budget (some are priced at over $6000), the smart toilet has all of the possible comforts that you can want. The seat can be raised or lowered automatically and there is a seat warmer as well to keep you comfortable. There is a touch panel remote for easy controls of all of the options, including a bidet where you control the water temperature and water flow, and a built-in docking station for your smartphone or music player or you can make use of the Bluetooth receiver built-in to get your favorite playlist from your device remotely.
While many of these items for your bathroom may be seen as a bit luxurious right now, it is likely that technological advances are going to continue in nearly every room of the home, including the bathroom, to make you as comfortable as possible. In the world of customization that exists today it will not be a big surprise to see that there are more technological changes on the horizon that will make using the bathroom, along with all of your rooms, easier and more comfortable all of the time.
