If you know anything about home design, I'm guessing you know the name Kohler. Their kitchen and bath collections are some of the most visually stunning out there, and at CES 2018 they unveiled a whole new facet to their faucets (and showers and toilets and baths). Kohler Konnect marks the brand's foray into the smart home world, and they're making a big splash with a lineup of connected bath and kitchen products. Bathroom humor aside, Kohler is a strong contender for anyone who wants to enjoy all the luxuries of design and technology in new and innovative ways. With Kohler Konnect and a lineup of seven new connected bathroom and kitchen products, your hands-free smart technology reaches into new areas of your home.

Some people may view their bathrooms as a fortress of solitude or sanctuary for soaking in a bubble bath, but that doesn't mean Amazon doesn't want to be there, only a whisper away. One of the latest products to include the company's smart assistant, Alexa, is from Kohler, which added voice capability to its new Verdera mirror, just in time for the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. For the last couple of years at CES, there have been prototypes and platforms for smart mirrors. Instead of showing you how you'd look with red hair or a new shade of eyeshadow, Kohler's Verdera is simply harnessing Alexa to act as a smart bathroom hub. If you have smart lights in your bathroom, you can ask Alexa to turn them off without having to wander to the living room, for example.
