Oral B

 The future is kind of stupid. Home Assistant just added support for my toothbrush to directly integrate with local pushing of data.  They made it so easy to integrate since they made Bluetooth a direct way of integrating things, all I had to do was click configure after turning on my toothbrush. 

While this might seem silly for a grown adult to track, I will be converting a time based notification that reminds me to brush after breakfast and before bed to only be sent if I have not brushed the appropriate number of times that day. I have also added a counter to track how many times the brush head has been used. Most of those functions are probably available in the corporate application, but now I can delete their app and have total local control over this health related data.


I could see people with little kids being able to automate a great deal of things to only be allowed for their kids if they have properly brushed their teeth for the day.
