Of course, this time it is not from Xiaomi but it is Samsung who has presented it within its range of Bespoke devices.
A smart faucet for futuristic homes

However, year after year, there they continued to see how or rather where they could re-integrate features such as WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity. And this meant that we were no longer surprised by practically anything that was new. A smart, WiFi-enabled pet feeder, very cool. A connected rice cooker to know when the rice was made, well, too. And so, a long etcetera.

Still, price will be a key factor. If it accompanies, then it will be interesting to consider these solutions for the most advanced homes.
