Smart fridges have a motherboard and computer memory which stores information about items in the fridge and can send this information over the internet to your phone, tablet, laptop and other smart devices.
Upon setting up your smart fridge, you will be asked to connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Once this is done, you will be able to connect the fridge to your phone via the accompanying app. For example, if you have a Samsung Fridge, like the Samsung – 29 cu. ft.
