This is Twine.
It doesn’t look like much, but it was the hottest item on Kickstarter this Christmas season, shattering its fundraising goal and acquiring nearly 4,000 donors.
This unassuming little box uses various sensors to capture information about a space or object and send it to the owner through the channel they choose. For example, with Twine attached to your front door, the built-in accelerometer can detect when someone is knocking and send you a text or Tweet while you’re away.
More sensors are in development, as is a breakout board that will allow users to gather other types of information by connecting their own sensors.
Check out the short video.
