Someone built a Raspberry Pi-powered smart fridge gadget that tells you when you're running low on beer
A Raspberry Pi-based smart fridge project tracks beverage inventory using a barcode scanner and integrates with Home Assistant. When stock drops below a predefined minimum, the system automatically adds the required quantity to a shopping list and removes the entry after restocking. The entire solution runs locally without cloud services and the creator has published detailed instructions on GitHub.
- ▪The system uses a Raspberry Pi and a 1080p USB camera to scan barcodes each time a drink is removed or added.
- ▪Home Assistant integration automatically adds items to a shopping list when inventory falls below a set minimum and updates the list in real time.
- ▪All processing is performed locally, so no cloud services are required for the smart fridge operation.
