............Step by Step, to build one Smart Fridge on Azure IoT Hub! ............
......Still Draft Version......
The IDEA
- Fridge is important at home, keep food and beverage fresh. But we can not remember every item within fridge, keep-traces-and-record is further away. Smart fridge would make normal fridge smarter, with Functions,
Keep trace of the temperature inside and outside of the fridge,
control on/off state of fridge to save energy,
record the items stored in the fridge and storage-period in the fridge.
Alert the expire date and refill the supply with wifi connection to backend Azure Cloud IoT
- Azure Sphere MT3620 kits and Thermo 7 click would be used, with Azure IoT as cloud-end service.
I would build one Portable Fridge Box from scratch, with insulation and all neccessary cooling pad, 12V power plug ready for car-socket.
1. To Dig MT3620 Kits and Discovery Azure Cloud behind
Even there have been many great Roadtests, the coming MT3620 Kit is still worth one roadtest to find out what is behind, It is really big picture and ecosystem with Azure Cloud in center.
