These are the most useless (and funny) IoT devices you can find

How do I brush my hair? Do I have eggs in the fridge? Great questions of very difficult answer (until brushes and egg cups connected to the internet arrived in our lives).Smart devices are getting us to start asking our phones completely unsuspected questions.Some, very absurd.

And it's not that we are going crazy, but that there really are apps that answer us.And that solve big problems of our day to day.We make a list of the devices Most irrelevant IoT that can (or could) be found online.

A fork in case we make a lot of noise

Many things divide East and West, and one of them is how we eat ramen.Or, rather, how noisy we are in doing so.An idea that led the Japanese company Nissin to create Otohiko, an intelligent fork.It detects when noise is made by sipping the soup and sends a signal to the phone to which it is connected, which in turn reproduces futuristic sounds to mask it.

To create this smart fork, the company recorded a lot of different sounds that were made by sipping soup.And I created a bell of fundraising to launch (bad news) a single edition.

The ultimate brush

The Keraste High Coach is an intelligent brush developed by L'Oreal and Withings.It has everything we would never expect to find in a brush: triaxial load cells, an accelerometer, a gyroscope and conductivity sensors.Well, to measure the shape and strength with which we comb our hair, of course.

These are the most useless (and funny) IoT devices you can find

The device converts this data into information about our hair routine.And it tells us, in short, if we brush our hair well and tips to do better.It costs about 200 dollars.

(Oh, no) A smart condom

British Condoms has developed a device that converts condoms into smart devices with which to get all kinds of information about the sexual activity of its owner.Basically, it is a ring with a micro USB port that, after the activity, can connect to the computer.

Here's a "smart condom" that tracks thrust speed and velocity and lets you share the data.But hey, no pressure! 🍆 https://t.co/zgFCsnQF1S pic.twitter.com/kpDF5bhcb1

-CNET (@CNET) March 2, 2017

It is priced at 59.99 pounds and is now sold only in the United Kingdom, however, from British Condoms they point out that due to interest that has been raised soon will be available in stores around the world.For the rest of the possible doubts that may arise about this smart condom, we recommend reading the complete section of frequently asked questions on its website.

Buttons to order pistachios

In Amazon we can find everything.Even buttons with which to buy, with a single click, our favorite products.The Dash buttons are devices connected to the internet and associated with a single brand.When they are configured, you select which product buy with each one.

From that moment and once the button is pressed, the order is received in 24 hours.And not only pistachios.Red Bulls, razors, toilet paper, honeycombs, creams, detergent or infusions.Each button is worth 4 , 99 euros.

A toaster that sends messages

Toasteorid is a toaster connected to the internet that allows you to "print" any design on a piece of bread.And, also, send messages to people who have another Toasteroid.That is, how to send an SMS through a toast.

The app to operate this device is available for both Android and iOS and the toaster itself can be purchased on the Toasteorid website, all thanks to a Kickstarter project with which more than 180,000 dollars were raised.

A smart egg cup

Another complement to ensure the perfect breakfast is Eggminder, a device that It alerts us if we are running out of eggs or if they are going to get bad soon.That is, an indispensable element for those too lazy to open the refrigerator door or too suspicious to be guided by the expiration date.

Eggminder can be found on Amazon.And if for some reason it fails and the eggs end up, finally, in the garbage, the internet of things allows us to keep track of them.In this case thanks to devices such as BinCam, a camera that place on the lid of the garbage can.Every time it closes, take a picture and hang it on Facebook.

BinCam is the result of a Newcastle University project that seeks to generate recycling awareness .And that makes us think that if the IoT has reached our garbage cans, it can end , literally, anywhere.
