My Real ReBuild project is almost done with Mechanical Rough-Ins and I think this Kohler System is absolutely the future of the Master Shower! I love that this Digital Thermostatic valve gives me some fantastic control options AND by mounting this in my attic I can easily do an upgrade or service without having to dig into my tile shower.

As a software engineer, this networked valve control system makes me cringe. Who wants to reboot or install software patches on their shower controls? This falls squarely in the “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” category for me. What’s wrong with sticking a hand in to turn on the shower and gauge the temp before stepping in? If accessibility to the valves is important, provide an access panel in a closet on the wall behind the shower.

This is so AWESOME! I actually did almost the exact thing a few years ago in my master. Used 2 of the Kohler DTV valves for a his and hers shower so we can each have our desired temp. Also have the steam unit and am such a fan over the more popular ones. Their service isn't just for their big customers like you either. My steam unit wouldn't run and they had someone out and had it replaced in less than a week. One suggestion on the Ditra Heat - run it up the wall behind the bench to take the chill off your back. I have it throughout the bath, shower and bench but would do that if I had to do it over again. Both Kohler and Schluter are doing wireless integrations now, which I'd recommend so you can tell your 'smart speaker' to "get the sexy shower going" - as my wife likes to call it.

Matt, I rebuilt my bathroom about a year ago. I also installed the Schluter ditra heated floor. I love it. I opted for the WiFi thermostat so I can adjust it from anywhere, but its scheduled for 87 degrees for the most part. One other thing I did, and highly recommend: I mounted a 1st gen Amazon Alexa in the ceiling, ran a 3.5 mm cable-out to a $30 T-class amp in a closet, from the amp I ran 2 sets of speaker wires back to 2 8" steam-proof speakers mounted in the ceiling on either side of the bathroom. Now when I'm in the shower I can listen to my favorite podcast, ask the weather, listen to news, or change song and rock out! Trust me, its ESSENTIAL. :-)

As with all the tech you are putting in your house the one thing folks need to know if you lose power you are out of luck. I have been in IT for going on 40 years now, while I love it, I till worry about depending on everything needing Elec.

I ❤ that you took my suggestion on the outlet in recessed medicine cabinet for the electric toothbrush! 🦷 You will not be disappointed.

I'll be sure to check out Robern for our upcoming build.

Definitely looks like the da 💣 of a setup!

moen also makes smart shower. less expensive than kohler but equally as amazing! I used one in a spec home of mine last yr here in wisconsin

Another stellar + motivational video Matt! Say don’t wait until AFTER the tile is in to do another video in the master bathroom. I’d enjoy seeing a video of how the tile guy lays out the heating elements and wiring for the heated tile floors and shower seat. Will you be able to turn the floor on with your phone too?

You need to look at getting all those sweet items hooked up to some home automation. Home assistant is great for diy.

That is nice Matt. I would have suggested adding a rain system showerhead.

This is cool Matt, but I've got one thing to say. Bluetooth is very handy, but very insecure. Bluetooth speaker system in the bathroom is fine, but you don't want someone turning on your shower from the street while you're on vacation. We're seeing this become a problem with the Bluetooth doorbell cameras and thermostats. Even if you're able to secure it to prevent this, there's nothing that can be done to prevent it from being turned off remotely. People are going to start to prefer the mechanical and hard wired options in the long term. Even if money was not a problem, and I could get any system in the world, I'd still prefer a mechanical mixer.

This takes equipment with a 20+ year life cycle and drops it to 10 years (even if it's accessible in your attic you want it to work). It is highly likely that in less than 10 years the app you need to turn on this shower will not work on the phone you have. As each successive iteration of an OS is released, apps often have to be updated. Has Kholer committed to a long term support plan to maintain this, I seriously doubt it, because keeping these things up to date as technology advances is expensive. You end up having to keep multiple layers of technology-supported over multiple revisions of operating systems across multiple devices, sometimes it's not even technically possible. I'm all for tech, I do it for a living, but this is a solution in search of a problem. Then of course someone will exploit a security loophole and turn the shower on all day.

Is this whole system able to be retrofitted into an existing house? I’m looking into remodeling my shower/garden tub area of my master bath and am intrigued......Great video. Keep them coming!

Yikes that is a lot of stuff to go wrong! Still Extremely cool!

I have almost the same setup - but more jets. And I use the Steamist brand computer and controller, which has a nice basic UI. It also allows for much longer steam runs that the Kohler. Out master is in a large home on the second floor so this was necessary.
