Kohler, an American bathroom company that already offers connected toilets and sinks, is adding a line of smart bathtubs to its portfolio.voice control bathtub The company's new PerfectFill drain system—which works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant—is sold as a kit that a plumber can install in compatible tubs. Once installed, you can use the Kohler Konnect app or a voice command to set your desired bathing temperature and fill level. The drain will then plug and start filling, and stop once it reaches the right amount of water.

The tub is also designed to let you pre-schedule your bathing experiences, so if you have an early workout or have a busy day ahead of you, all you need to do is say “I'm going for a long soak” and the PerfectFill drain will automatically run the tub at the specified time.voice control bathtub It can even drain the tub with a single command after you finish, meaning you can get out of the bath quickly and head to your next task.
