2. Delta Brevard With FlushIQ ($199)

A smart toilet with all the bells and whistles can cost thousands. This affordable option offers touch-free flushing, and its overflow protection system is a "must-have" for parents with young children, says Alina Bradford at CNET. Buy it at Home Depot.

3. Body Cardio Scale ($119.99)

Like many smart scales, this Withings product measures and tracks weight, body mass index, body fat, and heart rate. It also "goes one further," measuring heartbeat strength to flag high blood pressure or stiff arteries. Buy it at Amazon.
