SmartThings connects everyday objects to the Internet to make them smarter.
That means that anything that can be plugged in, turned on, opened or shut, or moved around, can be monitored with the SmartThings platform. Doors, windows, appliances, your dog, you name it; it's all turned into an app for your smartphone.
SmartThings started as an uber-popular Kickstarter project raising $1.2 million in September.
