CEDIA Tradeshow
KOHLER, Wis.
– Sept. 10, 2019 – Kohler
Co., a global lifestyle brand, sets the stage for smart kitchen and bathroom
innovation at this year’s CEDIA tradeshow. Held this year in Denver, Colorado,
CEDIA is a leading event in connected technology that draws more than 20,000
home tech pros.
Creating a Smart Home is
the idea of using integrated technologies to make daily life more comfortable,
convenient, and gracious. The brand’s smart home collection, including the KOHLER
Konnect platform and suite of products, have driven a myriad of conversations
about the future of the bathroom by bringing a new level of convenience and connectivity
to the bathroom and kitchen that consumers have not experienced before.
Kohler’s
collection of smart and connected kitchen and bathroom products allow
professionals to customize the space and experience for their clients. Kohler’s
recently launched KOHLER Pro Toolbox, all-in-one resource site, helps
professionals navigate the smart home arena, along with all other kitchen and
bathroom categories, through news, product training, specification tools and
more.

integration of voice control into the bathroom space. The Verdera Voice is a
thoughtfully designed and functional centerpiece of the smart bathroom
featuring a high-quality grooming mirror, efficient adjustable LED lights for
precision routines like makeup application and skin care, a motion-activated
wayfinding nightlight, and hermetically sealed speakers that maximize stereo
sound quality – all built-in to help reduce clutter and optimize user
experiences.
Sensate kitchen faucet
with KOHLER Konnect: The
Sensate kitchen faucet with KOHLER Konnect allows homeowners to turn the water
on and off or dispense water to a measured volume with simple voice-commands or
touchless motion-based interactions. Consumers can fill an eight-ounce cup of
water or a large pot with hands-free voice control. Water metering is also
available through the KOHLER Konnect App to track water usage.
DTV+
Shower System: Using
the DTV+ system with KOHLER Konnect, consumers can create presets for sound,
water, steam and lighting, delivering the ultimate customized spa-like
showering experience, placing it in a category all its own. Use voice, or a
wall-mounted interface to access presets, make adjustments, and use the
system’s eco settings to control water usage. Consumers who already have DTV+
systems in their homes can upgrade by having a bridge module installed to their
existing systems.

a wide array of intelligent toilets and cleansing seats to help enhance
personal hygiene and overall toileting experience. The collection covers all
