The centerpiece of Kohler’s Konnect line of products is the Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror, which has Amazon Alexa built in. Integrated into the design of the mirror are dual microphones to enhance the accuracy of voice control, speakers, a motion-activated nightlight, and LED lights. The mirror connects directly with other Konnect devices, so you can launch voice commands to all bathroom products by speaking to the mirror.

In addition to enabling control of other products, the Verdera mirror provides access to tens of thousands of Alexa skills.
