LAS VEGAS (AP) — The CES gadget show will showcase internet-connected "smarts" creeping into cars, refrigerators, thermostats and just about everything else in your home.

That includes an oven that coordinates your recipes and a toilet that flushes with a voice command.

With every additional smart device in your home, companies are able to gather more details about your daily life.

The CES show opens Tuesday.
