1. Smart Toilets
Smart toilets are what many people think about when it comes to bathroom technology. What do these smart toilets do?
The better question is what can’t they do?
Smart toilets can automatically warm their seats, raise their own lids, play music, and use their built-in nightlights to guide you during a middle-of-the-night bathroom run. Some of these smart toilets even regulate water levels to ensure your toilet NEVER overflows. They also monitor the water in the tank, which can reduce the amount of water your home uses.
Smart toilets typically cost between $2,000 and $10,000 in New Jersey. But because they have so many awesome features, smart toilets are definitely worth the price of admission.

Is there anything worse than stepping out of a warm, steamy shower and onto an ice-cold floor? Radiant floor heating keeps you from getting cold feet.

Almost every bathroom has a scale in it, but if you want to make your bathroom more technologically advanced, then a smart scale is a small feature that makes a big bang.
