There&#8217;s the toilet that lights up in any colour you want and plays music out of in-built speakers. Then there&#8217;s the shower-head that not only sprays water but also plays music and connects to the internet and listens to your voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8216;Moxie&#8217; speaker features a built-in Smart speaker with an Amazon Alexa-powered voice assistant. It can be purchased as a full set with the shower-head or can be purchased and docked magnetically to your existing shower. The speaker has been specially tuned so that the sound can cut through the noise of the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using tactile controls and wireless charging it is simple to use even when fully drenched. They assure it&#8217;s totally waterproof with an IPX67 and the wireless charging should help abate most of the fears of shooting water through an electronic device onto your body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17993 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet-577x325.jpg 577w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kohler-faucet.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><figcaption><em>Kohler&#8217;s\u00a0touchless\u00a0&#8216;Setra&#8217;\u00a0faucet\u00a0for\u00a0messy\u00a0hands<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other devices revealed by Kohler show their push to transform entire houses into internet connected hubs appliance by appliance. A Wi-Fi connected water purifier is in the pipeline and another shower device will let its owners control their showers with the push of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A touch-less kitchen faucet will help people getting their hands dirty prepping meals to keep their sinks clean. Oh, and did we mention an internet connected toilet with LED lighting, built-in speakers and a touchless flush? We did?
