SmartThings, an innovative technology project on Kickstarter, achieves just that. It's surging towards a goal of $250,000, with 27 days left before its deadline on the fundraising platform.

Using a SmartThings app, patrons will be able to monitor who's home, what's on and what's off. Connect your pet's collar to the smart hub, and it will alert you when Scruffy gets out of the backyard. Get a text when the dog's food bowl is empty. Or even remotely monitor an elderly relative in another state by tracking their activity around the house. See how it all works in the video above.
The Minnesota-based developers have been working to create a universal smart system that can be applied to any device. The possibilities are endless. The SmartThings hardware and software are open-source, so developers can continue manipulating the physical world as we know it.
