Smart Showers: Eco-Friendly Water Management Through SmartThings
Transforming Water Usage with Technology
Kohler's Anthem smart showers are now fully integrated with Samsung's SmartThings ecosystem, marking a significant step in sustainable living. Users can easily manage their shower preferences using the Kohler Konnect app or voice-activated assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The system even allows adjustment of water flow and temperature right from their Samsung smart devices.
The Evolution of Home Automation
- Control your shower settings remotely.
- Monitor water usage directly through SmartThings.
- Establish automated routines for efficient living.
Notably, the Anthem Plus shower controller system is priced at $2,800, potentially limiting its accessibility despite the advanced features it offers.
Enhancing Awareness of Water Consumption
With the introduction of a new water layer feature coming to SmartThings Map View in early 2025, users can visualize their water usage like never before. This innovative approach aims to encourage sustainable habits by providing insights into resource consumption.
- Track water flow with state-of-the-art technology.
- Encourage eco-friendly practices in daily routines.
- Enhance the home automation experience.
Mark Benson, head of Samsung SmartThings US, expressed enthusiasm about the mapping feature: "Water management and sustainability just fits very well with what we’re trying to do overall with making the world a better place." As Kohler leads the charge in smart shower technology, it's clear that integrating efficiency and luxury is reshaping the future of home water management.
