Smart thermostats? They’re old news. Smart TVs? Been there, done that. But smart toilets? That’s a level of home automation that few have been willing to breach.
At this year’s CES show, however, a pair of tech companies are hoping people will make the smart potty their number one (and number two) priority.
Some of those commodes are turning heads. The Vovo Smart Toilet was a 2026 Innovation honoree by the Consumer Technology Association, which cited its benefits for the elderly and people with disabilities. The toilet comes with a few bells and whistles that have already been incorporated into the high-end latrine world — things like automatic lid opening and closing, auto flushing, and bidet functions. It even has a heated seat.
