Kohler Launches $600 iPhone-Connected Toilet Camera That Monitors Your Health Through Waste Analysis

[Gunnilingus]

I wonder if this will have some type of memories functionality? Like a year in review slideshow.

Just make sure you install it right way down.

I think I’ll wait until I can pick up a used one.

Fecal-recognition technology that analyzes your movements

Call it Fece ID and I’m sold

Apple with their own version in a few years, “We are introducing, the iSh!t”.

Ah but is it Air or Max?

I’d prefer a toilet with built-in analysis functionalities that go beyond a camera while not needing a camera at all.

As long as it integrates with HomeKit so I can use it to trigger starting the coffee maker in the morning.

Those in The Know know that c(f(e^2))+cos(a)=b(m)

Like so many products, hard to find out exactly what it does.

I went to the site and there's lots of waffle but I couldn't find the actual details of what it can sense.

Of course, I'm not going to buy one - not in US, I refuse to pay a subscription, and it seems pretty expensive. But I might have thought about it were the details readily available.

They seem to have entirely missed that lots of people have two (or more) toilets in their house, their second home, their workplace, spend much of their lives on the road, etc. How many of us really do use one toilet regularly enough for this to make sense?

And I definitely would not choose a fingerprint scanner... (There again, "log in" is pretty questionable... )

Hard pass...

Valid points to an ill conceived idea. There are going to be gaps in the data and it will just cause people to be anxious for nothing. You look in the bowl like humans have done for centuries, you don’t feel good you body will let you know, it seems tech companies are trying to shoehorn their existence and replace human functionality with more disposable waste.

 

[Vangeli]

Hmm, perhaps I do want to pay money to automatically send photos of my dangling fun bits to Kohler.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

A camera. In my toilet. On a subscription plan.
I do not like this modern world.

Wait for the next release, it will feature a second camera that points up to analyze how it comes out and suggest a colonoscopy if it comes out funny.

I thought smart rings had been around for years now.

Siri: Whoa, that’s a big one!

Did you not read it, it does have TouchID!

 

[no_idea]

Has this been battle tested with Taco Bell yet?

What an ingenious way to keep your guests from pooping in your toilet.

If they want their pooping not to be recorded, let them pay for the optional Bluetooth fingerprint scanner thing.

Plus imagine if someone's underage daughter uses your toilet, and the guest's parent finds out after the fact that you had powerful sensors aimed (allegedly only) at the bowl's contents and were too cheap to pay for the Bluetooth fingerprint scanner thing to skip scanning of their daughter. This could get ugly quick.

 

[iVoid]

What if you have a long penis that hangs down into the bowl!!!!

 

[Rafagon]

Besides all the jokes, you pay 600 bucks for a product and then still have to pay a fee to use it????

We pay more than that with an iPhone, unless you're satisfied with not having a cell signal on your phone.

 

[Rafagon]

I can't believe Siri let you type that! Go repent, immediately!

Bad personal assistant, bad!

 

[brunerd]

SmartPipe got there first.

Yes! In case anyone else wants in on the (probably NSFW) joke check out the SmartPipe video on YouTube. It's from Adult Swim's Infomercials series. 👌🚽

 

[AusMness]

Okay but what the hell is that headline lmao

 

[guyxye]

I really hope it supports recognizing multiple family members through SphincterID.

 

[OGdrknight]

Toilet Notification: Your camera is obstructed. Please clean it.

Imagine that popping up on a Zoom call!
😂

These will be huge in Germany!
