Smart home functionality is becoming all the more common for people around the world, but 'Pup-eeze' is a new device that's aiming to make it a normal part of life for dogs around the world as well. The connected dog collar turns consumers' pets into nodes in their smart home landscape, effectively allowing dogs to serve as a proxy for their owners' control over their home devices.
Pup-eeze comes with functionality to control everything that a dog might need while their owner is away from home during the day. Thanks to the smart collar, users can remotely turn their lights on and off, control the thermostat to keep dogs comfortable, and even turn on music or the television to give their dogs some company.
