Imagine being able to create a shopping list, search for recipes, and check from the supermarket via your phone whether you still have milk at home—all from your fridge. It’s possible with a smart refrigerator!
The Brain of the Kitchen
Chances are you’re already using smart home technologies—think of smart lighting, heating, doorbells, and speakers. A smart refrigerator is another example of this trend. Such a fridge is equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing it to connect to an app on your smartphone.
Examples of smart fridges include the Home Connect models from Bosch and the Samsung RB38C7B6AB1, which works with the SmartThings app.
Features of a Smart Fridge
Depending on the type of smart fridge, it may offer the following features:
-
Built-in camera: Useful for checking what’s in your fridge while you’re at the supermarket.
-
Mirror glass: Knock twice on the glass to turn on the interior light and see what’s inside without opening the door—this reduces cold air loss.
-
Adjustable temperature and humidity: Helpful for keeping different freshness zones at the right conditions.
-
Touchscreen: Some smart fridges include a built-in screen where you can listen to music, make shopping lists, view recipes, or even stream a cooking show. Click [here] for such a fridge.
