LG Uplus announced that it will introduce Korea's first IoT bidet together with Koller Novita, a domestic company specializing in home appliances such as bidets.

The IoT bidet is an IoT-specific bathroom product that can be used by linking to the 'IoT@home' app, LG U+'s home IoT platform. Users can customize the bidet nozzle, cleaning, hot water, and intensity through a home Wi-Fi connection.

IoT bidets, which are linked in real time with an app, analyze users' actual bidet usage patterns using big data and directly notify users when it's time to replace the filter. This eliminates the need for users to change the bidet filter at set intervals. For example, push notifications are sent through the app when it's time for filter replacement, nozzle cleaning, and cleaning services. To purchase filters and request cleaning services, you can access the LG U+ online direct mall 'IoT Shop' directly from the app screen.

For users who sit for long periods of time after using the bidet, the app even sends a notification to 'stand up'.

With the launch of this IoT bidet, LG U+ plans to create a truly smart home by interconnecting it with 36 existing IoT devices, including ventilators, outlets, switches, plugs, and open sensors.

For example, when the toilet switch is turned on, the IoT bidet's toilet seat function automatically turns on, and when the user sits on the bidet, the ventilation fan linked to the LG U+ IoT platform automatically turns on.

LG Uplus IoT Division Head Ahn Sung-jun said, “We plan to continuously introduce IoT services that can provide value and convenience to customers in addition to bathroom IoT products such as bidets and ventilators,” and “We will expand the number of IoT products to 50 by the end of the year to further solidify our position as the leading company in the domestic home IoT market.”
