Wait until the insurance companies figure out you are not brushing your teeth at a recommended minimum stroke rate, minimum time and not maximizing coverage areas to include upper and lower molars.

There are some people who can build something there is really no need or value of....

Seriously I wonder if it gives or could give a report to the dentist on your bushing methods or such or even give you such a report with tips on how to improve. Such as my cell phone telling me if my online usage if up or down for the week.

I got a bunch of these "smarthome" lights a few years ago to play around with them. I can change the colors, set timers for when they come on/off and dim. Sounds great right? Configure them and forget about it.

Nope. Half the time they dont turn on when they are supposed to, or they will turn on but at 1% brightness, or wont turn on to the correct color...it goes on. I have spent more time messing with them than they have saved me. These are the top of the line Phillips Hue as well.

With our new home I dont have ANY of the smart stuff...not even thermostats. Nothing (appliances, lights, etc) with "wifi". I like it much better.

Yes but @oosik would that toothbrush survive a nuclear blast? New business opportunity. EMP proof electric toothbrush with built in wifi enabled RAD meter.

Push notifications to your phone when you face is about to be melted off.

Just an adjustment!
After many years I have come to the conclusion that anything that is adjustable is always out of adjustment!

I have an app on my phone for my garage door. I can check if it’s opened or closed, as well as open or close it from most anywhere in the world.
…but my toothbrush? Maybe it can trend your brushing patterns? How often? Duration? Percentage of time held in certain positions brushing top, bottom, and sides of teeth?
Who knows, it might be useful to check if someone else is operating it at odd times. It might show that wife is using it to clean the toilet or for some other vibrating brush head purposes.

Besides being unreliable the Phillips Hue were also notorious for terrible network security.

I work in tech. I won't have any appliances or devices that send data to the cloud or to an external server. Wifi is fine if it's purely local to my network and under my control. There aren't many devices like that though.

Unfortunately I fear that regular non connected appliances will soon disappear. People want the convenience and don't understand the privacy and security risks. And it's more profitable for manufacturers, in part because of all the user data they can harvest.

Wonder what it does when you are brushing and it needs a software update??? The OP toothbrush. Not the toilet!
