I assumed I hadn’t heard of them because they were things that didn’t need to be made smart, except so the company making them could charge more and I was mostly right (bed? Tap/faucet?). Mostly:
Kohler Numi 2.0 smart toilet
A smart toilet might seem like a strange idea at first, but for smart home enthusiasts with especially deep pockets, it might just be worth splashing out on. After all, it’s already known as the throne, so why not make it feel like one? The Kohler Numi 2.0 offers hands-free lid opening and closing, a heated seat with the exact temperature customizable through the app (yes, there’s an app for this toilet), and even ambient lighting to make the whole experience feel a little more dramatic.
Bizarrely, it also comes with a built-in audio system, so you can listen to your favorite playlist straight from your toilet. Other features include smart water-saving tech and cleaning jets with warm water to ensure optimal hygiene when you’ve finished your business. For all that tech, there’s an eye-wateringly steep price to pay: the Numi 2.0 retails for $11,500, although at the time of writing, it’s on sale on Amazon for a slightly discounted price of $8,625.

6 stupid and overpriced items. Having an app generally make things even more annoying to use…
The mattress seems at least have an interesting functionality with adjustable firmness. Still yet to see how well it works. Also you better be rich.
The faucet is the one really shining. Yes, niche but at least useful to be able to directly get the amount of water without having to get your measurement cup.
Being useful is more than most smart devices can hope.
