The Livin Shower could significantly lower the barrier to entry of the smart bathroom. Like competing smart showers from Moen and Kohler, the Livin offers app controls and voice controls via Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. Turn on your shower with a voice command, and it'll warm up the water for you and pause when it's ready. But unlike its expensive competitors, you can install the Livin yourself over your existing shower faucet.

The Livin is a retrofit smart shower from a startup of the same name launching a Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday. The product certainly sounds impressive, as it theoretically offers the same feature set as Moen and Kohler, but it'll be a much more realistic purchase if you simply want to upgrade your shower with smarts and don't want to hire a plumber. With Moen and Kohler's showers, you're pretty much signing up for a remodel.

The Livin Shower still won't be cheap. The Kickstarter price is $350, with a few cheaper models available for early birds. After Kickstarter, you'll be able to preorder it for a lofty $700, though the company hasn't officially set its retail price yet. The shower will only ship to the US and Canada for now.
