But… how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome…?

Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in

I agree. It’s super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I’m not one of those people, so that doesn’t apply to me. Phew…

Oh god I hope this is sarcasm. I’m good with my old, dumb oral-b that does nothing but brush my fucking teeth.

  I imagine getting a notification on their phone reminding them if they’ve not brushed their teeth by a set time might help forgetful people to remember to brush their teeth, and if it’s via Home Assistant, which is self-hosted, entirely local, and open-source, there’s no downside other than having to set it up in the first place.

  The oral-b integration has been installed by 13,611 users.

IoT has gotten way out of hand

  No it hasn’t. Nerds spend all day looking for edge cases with mostly unsuccessful dumb ideas then screech while having the option of 40 different branded regular brushes in every grocery store.
