Yes it has an API, but that doesn't mean it's on the internet. To connect via that API you have to connect to the toothbrush via bluetooth.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoBluetooth is a PITA, low-budget "smart" devices are all becoming Wi-Fi now.
- kube-system 3y agoNevertheless, no major toothbrush manufacturers use Wi-Fi. Oral B and Philips connected brushes all use bluetooth.
- lynndotpy 3y agoI know someone who owns an "Oral-B iO series 10" and they said they connected it directly via Wi-Fi. It's possible they got it wrong, but multiple product reviews on the internet explicitly mention difficulties getting their Wi-Fi password onto the device.
- ben_w 3y agoI can't help but feel bluetooth is the wrong symbolism for a toothbrush.
- lynndotpy 3y ago> Yes it has an API, but that doesn't mean it's on the internet. See the second link, the "Web API" section. This is the part tells me that it's on the internet. > WEB API > The Oral-B cloud service offers fast and reliable real-time access to Oral-B brushing activity. Fetch brushing data ranging from session frequency and duration to activity stats, achievements and more. Integrate brushing activity data* with health or lifestyle applications. I don't know about all the older models, but I know the latest Oral-B smartbrush connects directly to the internet using Wi-Fi.
