Smart IOT Refrigerator
ABSTRACT:
Smart appliances with multimedia capability have been emerging into our daily life.
Smart appliances include washing machine, television, refrigerator etc. In this modern era, human being
is used to in touch with this technology or we can say it as internet of things (IoT). As we look around
ourselves we see modernization with superior technology, for example cell phones, kitchen, appliances
and many more. It uses fast advance of computing technology and the wide use of the Internet, smart
home is one of the most prominent areas of intelligent appliances. Kitchen is one of the places where
such intelligent appliances are mostly used. Existing systems used high technology that increases its
complexity. The products currently available are expensive so the user has to buy the whole costly
refrigerator. The utmost intention of the proposed system unit is to provide the decision making
capability to the refrigerator. In the aforementioned proposal scheme, some of the ideologies which we
are following are i) The refrigerator will continuously measures the weight of vegetables in the tray.
When the weight of vegetable tray goes below threshold weight (set by user approximately 500gm), it
senses the less presence of vegetables. Low signal will be generated corresponds to it which will be sent
to the user on the mobile app ii) Gas sensors are fixed inside the fridge to detect the odor of rotten
vegetables. If gasses detected by the gas sensor, the message will be send to the user’s mobile, indicating
to clean the fridge iii) IOT controlled switch on and off of the refrigerator to reduce energy consumption
iv) Typical temperature in the freezer is -5 to -10-degree Celsius. At this temperature, the water in ice
tray takes nearly 30 minutes to prepare complete ice. IR sensor is fixed in a compartment of ice tray that
detects when the ice tray is placed in the freezer and starts the timer. After 30 minutes the timer stops
and sends the ‘ice ready’ message.
