A so-called intelligent toilet has been recognised as an honouree in the CES 2020 Innovation Awards in the smart home category.
Products recognised as the honourees scored above the threshold set for their respective product categories.
An annual programme that celebrates outstanding design, the CES Innovation Awards recognises honourees across 28 product categories. A panel of judges, including designers, engineers and members of the tech media, reviews submissions based on design, functionality, consumer appeal, engineering and how the products compare with competition.
The Numi 2.0 intelligent toilet from Kohler offers water efficiency, personalised cleansing and dryer functions, a heated seat and high-quality built-in speakers. The lighting features on the toilet can be paired with speakers to create different spa-like environments within a bathroom space. Amazon Alexa built into the product provides simple voice control of the toilet’s features and access to tens of thousands of skills.
Personalised features of the company’s products are managed through the KOHLER Konnect application (app) for iOS and Android devices. Powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, the app offers support in select products for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.
