Lixil Satis
Lixil’s Satis Bluetooth toilet allows customers to flush and clean the toilet through an app on their smartphones. The smart toilet also includes a built-in night light and automated cleansing features.
The Japanese product made headlines when Forbes highlighted the fact that it was vulnerable to hacks, which could cause the toilet to scream and spray customers with the bidet while opening and closing its mouth, according to a Trustwave security advisor.
Davek Alert Umbrella
The Davek Alert Umbrella automatically prods users when they forget their umbrellas through a Bluetooth-based proximity chip. The chip broadcasts a silent signal to a connected smartphone app, which sends a reminder to the user’s phone.
The app was developed for Apple’s iOS and Android with Bluetooth 4.0, so that if the phone is held near the umbrella for 60 seconds, the umbrella will automatically connect.
The Davek Alert Umbrella is still under development and is a Kickstarter project

This new product records a baby’s temperature and transmits that data to the parents’ iOS and Android device, where it can be recorded and monitored. This product also contains proximity features to alert the parents’ smartphone if the pacifier moves away.
We:Ex Alert Shirt
A year ago, Wearable Experiments (We:Ex) brought new technology to the apparel market with Alert Shirt, designed for sports fans to heighten their excitement during a game. The product ties real-time sports data to electronics in the jersey, which in turn simulates live-sports actions (i.e. “feel what the players feel.”) For example, when a player is tackled the jersey will simulate that real-life action by vibrating.
