Look Inside the CloudFridge

Project description

📌 overview CloudFridge is a small IoT project that records when, how often, and how long a refrigerator door is opened, then sends that data to the cloud. With only: a magnetic reed switch on the fridge door, an Arduino + WIZnet-based Ethernet shield (W5100/W5500), and a wired LAN connection, the system turns everyday fridge usage into time-series data that can be visualized and analyzed. Because the refrigerator is one of the biggest energy consumers in a home, this data helps you see where door-open behavior may be wasting energy and gives a concrete basis for behavior change. 📌 Key…
