Despite having smart features, the device does actually work like a normal automatic soap dispenser too. It can hold 12 ounces of soap, and will automatically dispense it to your hand when you activate the sensor. As the device uses variable sensing, it’ll dispense more or less soap depending on how close your hand is to the nozzle.
The unusual smart home device retails for $54.99, making it much more expensive than any other soap dispenser you’ll buy. It’s currently available for pre-order, and is expected to go live on August 4, in the US at least.
The headline feature of the Smart Soap Dispenser is the 10 LED light in place to count down as you wash your hands. Like the Apple Watch’s handwashing feature, the timer will encourage you to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, as per all recommend guidance.
What’s Going Smart Next?
Either way, it’s still fantastic to see technology making its way into our homes in new ways. It does beg the question, what’s the next everyday item to turn smart?
