Remote Toilet Flushing Apps

This Remote Control Toilet Can Be Controlled with Your Smart Phone

— January 22, 2013 — Tech
Lixil Satis has come up with a remote control toilet for those of you who want to flush at a distance or make sure the seat is in the proper position when you get to the toilet.

This remote control toilet comes out of Japan and is designed to be controlled by an Android app on your smart phone. Apparently, Apple users will have to flush the old fashioned way. Will this be the feature that brings those avid Apple users over to Android devices? Probably not, but it is a cool idea.

Prices for the remote control toilet range from ¥199,500 to ¥389,550 ($2,385 to $4,657). If that seems a bit high for you, note the toilet also can play music through its built-in speakers.
