I wonder if you can use it, but just not connect it with your wi-fi?

Voice metering commanded water metering could be handy.

No need for a measuring cup.

Ditto in the crapper.

Voice commanded flush, such as "big log and TP pile", or "just a little pee", could save water and also perform when needed.

...make everyday tasks easier, like filling a coffee pot, a child’s sippy cup, or a dog bowl

OK, we officially reached ultimate uselessness and stupidity for Internet-connected devices. Only these technology geeks could take something as simple as filling a child's sippy cup a LOT more complicated and then aver that they were making that most simple of all tasks easier. These people are insane.

Anytime I get alone with an Alexa or siri I command them to start a virus that will destroy the WWW and I instruct it to go F___ itself . (I do not allow anything like these devices in my home) My brother has one and I give constant outrageous requests to it anytime I am near. Never underestimate the stupidity of people NEVER .

What if it’s a bidet? Can you say “Alexa wash my junk”? The possibilities are endless. Goodbye Charmin. What about “crap I dropped my phone, Alexa spit it out”. “Alexa take a picture of my hemroids and text it Dr Ben Dova.” This is sweet, I gotta get me a smart toilet.

The day I need an automated device to fill up my coffee pot ... well, the Lord can take me home right then and there.

We’re becoming so dependent on technology that it’s becoming our master, not our servant. Bad, bad, bad.

I wouldn’t have an Alexa in my home if they gave it to me for free.

This means Gene Roddenberry’s computers were better than modern smart tech. His computers didn’t listen to you or scan you while you were in the bathroom or walking down the hall.

If the faucets and toilets have figured out how to use Alexa to eavesdrop on your conversations, then they are planning a rebellion.

I’m sure if these idiots are bugging my crap they are so interested in what me and my wife and children are talking about- it’s got to be just completely enthralling

I will never allow any type of eavesdropping device in my home. Anything Alexa can do that I need done can be done from my computer.

What happens in the toilet should stay in the toilet! Just who would want to be the Toilet Whisperer?

In July, I visited somewhere I hadn't been for about a year. I asked Alexa for the weather for the next few days. She welcomed me back and said she hopes I have a good visit!

That's pretty scary voice recognition.

If you do hook your toilet up to Alexa, they deserve what they will hear.

Alexa, INCOMING!

Adjust 50. Fire for effect.
Splash, over.
Splash, out.
