This is the first in what is hopefully going to be a series about The Magic Fridge. What is The Magic Fridge, you say? Well, I have a beverage fridge that I keep in the garage. I am always trying to find unique sodas and drinks to stock it with. My wife made a comment one day about how she never saw me stocking it yet it always seemed to have something new. She said "it's like some sort of magic fridge." The name stuck and now everyone affectionately refers to it as the magic fridge.
One day I got an idea to make it a bit more magical. I thought, what if I could use a
Raspberry Pi to turn my ordinary beverage fridge into a smart fridge. Sure, I could probably just go buy a smart fridge (if I had the space and the money) but I have an engieering mindset and enjoyed the technical challenge of making it happen.
There are 3 main features that I implemented with on the Magic Fridge:
My hope is to also write an app to track my inventory. I've done some preliminary work on that but as things go with side projects, it has been stagnant for a while.
