Smart fridge

A fridge is not just an appliance that keeps food cold. It is a spot in the kitchen where we leave notes to family, where we stick photos of family or children’s drawings. But with a smart fridge, you get so much more! With a touchscreen connected to Wi-Fi, you can read recipes, add items to your shopping list, check inside the fridge from your smartphone while shopping for checking the stock of ingredients, check the expiry date of any grocery, and install an interactive photo album.

If you go one step further and connect the fridge with other devices, it can serve as a hub for the whole home.  You can view doorbells and home cameras and turn lights on and off from the display. Wireless home automation and smart home automation systems make this possible.

If you still wish to save some money but have some of the smart fridge performances, there is a smart fridge cam, which lets you look in your fridge and check if you are running out of any ingredients. It can also check the expiry date of food. Once you are sure of its benefits, you might decide to go for a smart fridge and get additional exciting experience in the smart kitchen.

Dual sensor smoke detectors are the best choice because they can sense slow, smouldering fire as well as fast, flaming fires.
