Voice Activated Bathroom

Kohler Co. is a global leader in the innovation and design of bath and kitchen products. In early 2018, it unveiled Kohler Konnect, a brand-new platform, allowing users control their Kohler products in the bath and the kitchen through voice activated technology. The voice activated bathroom is almost here.

Kohler Konnect has the capability to support a multitude of voice services. Users can interact with it through voice commands. It allows users to use the kitchen faucet as well as to control the features of intelligent toilets, adjusting the light in their bathroom mirrors, run showers, and fill the bath to specified temperature and depth, all through simple voice commands. It is powered using the global-scale and trusted Microsoft Azure cloud platform. It allows users the setting up of tailored preferences, automating everyday tasks and staying abreast of their water usage when it comes to products that are paired with it.

Up until now, connected devices and voice services have increasingly been integrated into pretty much every aspect of the home, excepting the toilet. Kohler Konnect changes all this, providing outstanding technologies and design, offering functionality and convenience, enriching and personalizing user experiences, making them more enjoyable, more comfortable and easier. These technologies help users in all manner of tasks, including getting ready for work in the morning, helping one’s children go through their bedtime routines in the evening, or just relaxing in the bath. Kohler Konnect’s voice activated toilet represents the next step in the evolution of smart technologies, helping to make our daily lives better.

In an effort to provide optimal functionality and wider accessibility to their new product portfolios related to Kohler Konnect, the brand offers support in some products for Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, bringing the latest technologies to the bathroom in ways that are meaningful.
