CES 2023:
Top Trends to
Broaden Your
Smart Tech Portfolio
Looking to expand your scope? Smart
plumbing, tricked-out doors and health
and wellness solutions shown at CES
2023 hold broad appeal and promise.
By Lisa Montgomery
CES IS A GREAT PLACE to pick up on trends. Much of the
debuts are conceptual, pie-in-the-sky, wishful thinking
that's interesting to ponder but never really takes root in the
residential market. But this wasn't the case at the Venetian
exhibits, where practicality prevailed at CES 2023, held in
January in Las Vegas.
After a full day of perusing the show floor, three distinct
themes emerged: smart plumbing, smart exterior doors, and
health and wellness tech. Here were some of the most innovative
introductions at CES in these up-and-coming categories:
Water Innovations Cover
Smart Home to Smart Yard
The benefits of smart plumbing extend way beyond efficiency,
giving systems integrators plenty to sink their teeth into.
Technologies applied to plumbing can prevent freezing pipes,
automate irrigation (without or without a conventional irrigation
system) and maintain better control over consumption.
There were myriad solutions focused on water use at CES,
demonstrating the remarkable versatility and market opportunities
of smart plumbing. Here are a few standouts:
Kohler H2Wise & Moen Smart Water Network
Ask homeowners what their worst home nightmare is or
ownership experience was, and you'll likely hear " flooding. "
Although simple water leak detectors certainly help,
Kohler's and Moen's solutions are more proactive, stopping
the problem before it starts and focusing on mitigating
arguably one of the most damaging of water issues: frozen
pipes that eventually burst.

Kohler's $139 Sprig Infusion
Shower (above) and $8,000
Stillness Bath cover the wellness
budget spectrum.
Kohler's H2Wise runs a
diagnosis of a home's plumbing
system to detect hidden
issues. Should it notice that
a pipe may be freezing, it
instructs Kohler Konnect
fixtures to open briefly to
relieve pressure and minimize
potential damage. Moen's
Smart Water Network shuts off water to the home instead.
Rachio Smart Hose Timer
Rachio's Smart Hose Timer takes the tedium out of lawn
maintenance for folks like me who don't want to invest in a
traditional irrigation system. The Smart Hose Timer is super
easy to install, highly affordable at $99 and does a far better
job of keeping the vegetation green than other options.
The Smart Hose Timer attaches to an outdoor faucet
where it receives instructions via Wi-Fi from a free Rachio
mobile app. The app carries out customized watering
schedules; when it rains, the Smart Hose Timer skips the
watering cycle.
