Moen expands its MotionSense Wave touchless faucet line to the bathroom

By Keyan Riddick Published January 6, 2022

Moen announced its latest model of touchless faucets, the MotionSense Wave, at CES 2022 today. Just like its other touchless faucets, you can wave your hand in front of the sensor to start and stop water, but these new iterations are built for bathroom use.

With the Motionsense Wave, you’re able to bring the technology and functionality into the bathroom. Instead of having the motion sensor on the top of the faucet like Moen’s other touchless faucets, the Motionsense Wave has its sensor on the left side of the base.

You can wave your hand in front of the sensor to toggle water flow on or off with ease. Water is instantly turned on or off as if you were to use the handle on the opposite side. Speaking of the handle, users can still use the handle for manual control of water flow and temperature. All of Moen’s touchless faucets can still be activated with hand gestures even when the handle is in the off position. The technology used within the faucets still provides water savings by turning on only when users need it.

The MotionSense Wave Faucets come in a few different styles and finishes. You can order your faucet in Lifeshine Brushed Gold, Lifeshine Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Lifeshine Polished Nickel, and matte back. There are also a couple of different faucet styles so you can pair each finish and hardware with any bathroom design. For example, the Cia style brings a soft modern look, the Doux style is a more elevated modern elegant look, and the Flora combines timelessness with contemporary styling.

Moen’s other touchless faucets are available at a few different online sellers, incluingd Home Depot, Lowes, and Wayfair, so you can expect to see the MotionSense Wave faucets at those retailers as well. No prices or availability dates have been provided for these new faucets.

Why Your Next Outdoor Security Camera Might Need Three Lenses

EZVIZ Puts Triple-Lens Outdoor Security in the Spotlight at IFA 2026

Monitoring a home often means watching several things at once. Just as a car pulls into the driveway, a visitor might approach the front gate, or movement could catch your eye in the side garden. For many European homes, this is a familiar scenario.

The challenge becomes even more noticeable when a property includes a backyard, detached garage, or swimming pool. Installing another camera for every angle is one solution, but it also means more devices to set up, manage, and maintain.

I played with Yarbo’s yard robot at IFA, and now I want one for every season

One tracked robot, a new job for every season

Yarbo M-series Featured 2

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a yard robot to be one of the more entertaining things I’d get my hands on at IFA 2026. Then I walked over to Yarbo’s booth and started playing around with the M Series.

The basic idea is wonderfully simple: instead of buying a different robot for every outdoor chore, Yarbo gives you one tracked robotic Core and a collection of attachments. Swap the module, and suddenly your robot has a completely different job. Mowing? Yep. Snow? Yep. Leaves? Yep. And there’s even a trimmer module on the way.

The future of smart homes may not be more devices, but better-designed experiences

Minimalism has reshaped almost every corner of the modern home. Kitchens hide appliances behind seamless cabinetry, televisions have become slimmer and more discreet, and storage is increasingly designed to disappear into the architecture. The goal isn’t simply to own better things. It’s to create spaces that feel calmer, cleaner, and more intentional. Smart home technology, however, has largely moved in the opposite direction. Every upgrade seems to introduce another speaker, another controller, another light, or another connected device competing for space and attention.
