    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.

    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.

        My BLE proxies keep picking up my neighbor’s toothbrush. I was briefly tempted to install the integration just to see what would happen. I didn’t because that’s creepy, but just… what a weird world we live in.

          How’s your low-level programming ability?

          I bet you could update its firmware to one you write.

          Ever use one of those kid toothbrushes that plays a song by vibrating your skull? You could do that live from a microphone.
