Top Smart Devices For Your Bathroom

While things like smart toilets and speakers may be common knowledge for those into the smart tech scene, there are also a lot of emerging devices poised to make a huge impact on the industry (and homeowners). The following are some of the top tech to look out for in bathrooms of the future.

1. Interactive LED Mirrors

Moving forward, mirrors will do more than tell you if you have something in your teeth. Interactive mirrors allow you to check the weather or time of day, search the internet and even watch TV shows or movies.

2. Privacy Glass

Perfect for those sharing a bathroom with their housemates, or those who just want a bit of privacy, adjustable privacy glass allows you to instantly shield yourself from view and reverse it when you need to see through the glass with just a click of a button.

3. Smart Showers

In addition to getting the water warmed up for you before you’ve even stepped out of bed, smart showers can also save you money on your water usage and keep the temperature consistent throughout your shower.

4. Floor Heating Systems

Ideal for those living in colder climates, floor heating systems provide fast and even heat throughout every inch of your bathroom floor. They even help you save energy while staying comfortable.

5. Smart Water Assistant

Though this smart device will be mostly out of sight in a cabinet, don’t underestimate its power. Water assistants monitor your water usage, offer suggestions for consumption habits and even help you save money by alerting you to leaks as soon as they happen.

6. Water Recycler

Installing a water recycler will allow you to reuse water from places like your washing machine or shower to water your plants or flush your toilets. Talk about an environmentally-friendly money saver!
