NUMI II
An Intelligent Toilet Offers Healthier Ambient Lighting, Built-in Speakers, Voice Control & Personal Cleansing
The Numi II Intelligent Toilet exists in a space somewhere between luxury and excess. It has practical features like water efficiency checks that make sure you’re never using more water than necessary. It has convenient features like smart lighting that makes it easy to see your way around the bathroom even in the dead of night — and those lights are interactive, multicolored, and dynamic so they can adjust to the setting. It even has personalized cleansing functions that make sure the toilet is set to your specifications, including a heated seat and drying functionality.
The Numi II has high-quality speakers built right into it, and those speakers come equipped with Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa. If you have a question while you’re sitting on the toilet, just ask Alexa. You can also run your home automation processes while in the bathroom. You can even have Alexa queue up your favorite playlist and watch the toilet’s lights sync up to the beat. Your bathroom can double as your own personal dance club if you so desire.

CREATE A WELLNESS ENVIRONMENT WITH CIRCADIAN LIGHTING
The NUMI II uses circadian lighting to provide a peaceful bathroom environment. It effectively relieves pressure and calms people down. This effect is enhanced when it collaborates with many other devices, such as the smart mirror, bathroom heater, bathroom lighting, and bathtub.
CIRCADIAN ENLIGHTENMENT
https://www.jhaservices.com/circadian-lighting/
In the absence of daylight cues, our body clock ‘free-runs’, defaulting to a cycle slightly longer than a 24-hour day. Ageing eyes decline markedly in sensitivity, both to ambient light levels and melanopic light. Illumination that is uncomfortably bright for younger people may be ‘just enough’ for our elderly to carry out tasks with confidence and receive circadian cues.
FRAMELESS LED PANEL
The frameless LED panel has an LED matrix in it. It enables smooth lighting animation effects, which enhance the circadian lighting experience. We worked hard to make it edge-to-edge in order to provide pleasant visual effects.
4 SCERNARIO THEMES WITH RRSPDOSNET MUSIC ENABLE THE WELLNESS ENVIRONMENT
The NUMI II provides four lighting scenarios: Sunrise, Forest, Ocean, and Sunset, in order to enhance the circadian lighting effects. The Sunrise scenario provides a lighting environment to rejuvenate you, the Forest scenario helps you to energize, the Ocean scenario helps to calm you down, and the Sunset scenario helps you to relax.
2 STEREO SPEAKERS PROVIDE A RELAXING BATHROOM ENVIRONMENT
We evaluated many speaker vendors to find the best sound effect for the NUMI II in order to create the best "Base" sound in the bathroom. We worked hard to find the best layout to embed two speakers in the main body in order to find a balance between the sound effect and the size of the NUMI II.
BANANA WAND
The curved shape can effectively save internal space in order to reduce the machine body height. The lighting on the front indicates the status of the wand, ex: E-water cleaning, or UV sterilizing. It also functions as a night light.
INFRA-RED DRYER + BANANA WAND
An Infra-red dryer is cleverly integrated into the banana wand, which effectively saves space, cost, and also provides a faster and more efficient drying performance since the dryer inlet is closer to the target.

FOOT WARMER
The embedded foot warmer enables a pleasant toileting experience. While sitting on the toilet, warm wind blows from the bottom to warm up your feet.
BALLET OPENING
The NUMI II has two ways to open the lid. The unique ballet opening method enables a fun experience.
ONE WHOLE PIECE OF GLASS LID
Glass is easy to clean, especially when it is edge-to-edge with no extra gaps. With the painting silkprint underneath, we are able to customize many colors and patterns for any consumers' needs.

NEW FLUSH DESIGN
The NUMI II retains the same design language as NUMI I, however, we pushed our boundaries to seek pure simplicity. The NUMI I has a step on the top and on the side. We explored many design opportunities and engineering solutions to make NUMI II totally flush.
HOW WE MAKE IT FLUSH
The reason the NUMI I has steps on the top and side is because the lid will interfere with the body when opening. A spring hidden under the glass will move the glass automatically when the lid is opening.
SOPHISTICATED CONTROL EXPERIENCE
A well-design remote allows the user to activate voice control, mute, lighting, music, and basic bidet features, such as flushing, washing, and drying. The user can fine tune the volume by using the outer rotary ring. When the remote sits on its base fixed on the wall, it is tilted 20 degrees in order to provide a better perspective for both sitting and standing. The APP is complementary for detailed setting and control.
