U.S. AND THE SMART SEAT
The talk
around the table is that Apple and Google are impressed by the future
investment possibilities and development of the smart home. Apparently, we will
not have to wait long for this addition to our high-tech lifestyle (at least in
part) as the smart bathroom has arrived in the U.S.
S mart toilets are already installed in three-quarters of
Japanese homes. These high tech thrones boast the ability to sync with the
user’s smartphone, play music, warm to desired temperatures, cycle through
various cleaning functions, automatically flush and yes, ladies, the seat does
put itself down (FINALLY!)
American
Standard, which is owned by Japan’s Lixil Corporation, is adding a line of
smart toilets. During an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Lixil’s Yoshiaki
Fujimori stated that they expect interest in this product to grow quickly and
have set aside a $3-5 million ad campaign budget to help push the trend forward.
This could be the next big feature to introduced into the
rental housing market. What smart amenities does your property boast?
