    You already have a toilet subscription, it’s called your water bill.

      You don’t see the potential. Imagine what we can achieve once every toilet is connected to the cloud!

          It’s one of the more useful features of it.

          This is stirring a memory. I swear there was some kids film or show where a toilet spoke, something like “thank you for flushing away your poop.”

        Sorry to share the bad news

        https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2025/10/30/kohler-dekoda/

        The device Kohler Dekoda is priced at $599 on the company’s website. In addition to the one-off hardware cost, there is a subscription required for the companion Kohler Health app: the single‑user plan is US $6.99 per month, or US $70 per year.

        Just a random website from search results.

        Edit: The company claims they scan the bowl for gut problems and othet health related things. Would be either a horrible or very funny data breach.

        Competitive shitting. Had this idea 5 years ago when we were debating toilet upgrades for some reason.

      But what about second subscription. Don’t you care about the share holders?

        I already have second subscription, it’s the sewer bill. Should I consider getting third subscription?

          Do it for the shareholders friend! And maybe even a 4th if 5th subscription! With overage fees and junk charges!

            Look I’m not going to do that but if you were to sell subscription toilets well under market rates for a long time using investor funds until you run normal toilet manufacturers out of business I’m not sure I’d have a choice.

      I also pay specific sewage tax, which is legally required for anyone with a sewage connection to their home (where I live). And for people who don’t, they probably have some kind of septic system where they pay for the materials and personnel to upkeep that.
