Kohler’s “intelligent toilets” are equipped with advanced technological features (dezeen.com)
It also includes personal cleansing and multiple bowl (bowel:joy:
) cleaning options
Smart toilets when most of your uses are just bums!
Not so keen on the Alexa or Bluetooth stuff but for hygiene it sounds good.
@DrMarkH Thanks for posting the link. Must say that I had a good laugh reading it.
Makes me wonder though as to why one would need multiple connectivity functions, or indeed a touch screen remote, as surely one does still have to be physically present in order to use the toilet for its basic functions. Mind you, having two remote controls with a decent range could well provide an innovative way of encouraging unwanted guests to leave one’s household. 
Reminds me of an incident I witnessed some years ago in La Roche-sur-Yon relating to one of those new fangled self cleaning public loos.
Family group with a couple of young children approaches said loo, which is sited next to an outside cafe area where about 50 people are enjoying a warm sunny afternoon. After some discussion between Mum and Dad, the appropriate coins are found and inserted to unlock the door. Mum enters and closes the door. Mum then remembers that she needs some personal item, opens the door, calls to Dad, who retrieves said item from the bag hanging on the back of the stroller and hands it to Mum. Mum retires inside the loo and closes the door.
Now the automated system reads the second opening of the door as the occupant having left the loo, security locks the door, and enters into the self cleaning of the entire cabin mode. Screams and yells of alarm emanate from inside as first disinfectant and then fairly high pressure jets of water soak the entire interior !
A number of people from the nearby crowd jump up and go to assist, but no-one can get the door open to release the young woman from her cleansing. Then there is a massive whirring sound as blasts of fairly hot air dry the interior of the cabin. Eventually the cleaning cycle ends, by which time the assembled crowd is hushed in worried expectation. The external indicator light goes from red to green. The door is finally opened, and a very clean, but very wet and bedraggled Mum emerges with long randomly blow dried hair and eye make up running down her face. Of course her situation is not exactly helped by the watching crowd suddenly exploding into laughter of relief. Happily Mum was OK, but she had certainly had a memorable day.
Moral of the story — Always read ALL the instructions and notices first.
