Everything’s voice-activated these days — even the kitchen sink.

The Delta Faucet Company announced Friday it’s developing faucets that respond to voice commands. Along with turning off and on, they’ll be able to measure amounts of water for cooking, and warm water, too.

“If you don’t do it with voice, you’ve got a mess of dials,” Sale said. Voice technology also keeps the design sleek with the engine and valve under the sink and the internet-connected components also tucked away.

“When your faucet responds — that’s not something anyone has really seen,” Sale said.
