I would very much like a tablet on the wall, like a digital cork board.
Building it into the fridge with what I assume are zero options about the actual software involved ain’t it though.

I once asked why anybody would want a smart fridge. Most people didn’t seem to know. The most common answer was that it could act as a focal point for a busy family for keeping track of things like appointments.
So, like a blackboard/whiteboard, cork board, or even a normal fridge, some paper, and magnets.
I’m no Luddite. I’ve got smart lamps so i can change the lighting in my living room & bedroom without getting up. And I’m looking into heating so i can have my heating come on when i leave work, rather than at a specific time. That saves effort and money.
But i just see no reason whatsoever for anybody to have a smart fridge.

The one smart feature I could see being nice is inventory tracking.
There’s some new regulation incoming in the EU where they’re doing QR codes on products with the price and also expiry date. A fridge that scans my milk carton as I put it in and then also knows the expiry date would be neat.
I don’t see this as something I could ever need, but for old people or people with various potential medical issues? Could have its use.

no I hate, and I mean hate smart speakers and all generative ai.
I would 100% be up for a fridge that keeps track of its contents’ expiry dates via qr and could display warnings when things are going off. I hate wasting food, especially animal products (I already feel guilty enough) so if my fridge said the smoked salmon had 3 days left I’d be into that. now, it retaining my data and sharing it with anyone would be a complete dealbreaker so

Do you leave work at different times each day and week that you don’t know about until you are at work?
Unless you do, a regular programmable thermostat would be fine.
