What I need is a whole kitchen camera that notices when I put things in the fridge/pantry and then take them out. Bonus if it can say "The lettuce in your fridge is probably expired, use it or toss it today".

The fridge/pantry camera is a useful addition, but most of the value would be a system that just tracks what I put in/take out.

You should be able to combine two half solutions into a full solution.

It might actually be easier to start with the smart pantry! An in-cabinet kit that can be tested entirely dry and warm and open, and then expanded to the fridge.

>”a smart fridge is a half solution at best”

A car is a half solution to going to work. A stove is a half solution to preparing food.

Half solutions are what people need. They’re the solutions we are using every day.

There is this huge problem with advertising that makes consumers think a half solution is a 100% solution. Most smart product makers do that trick. But, apart from that problem, ‘the perfect is the enemy of the good’

Edit: but no way would I buy any smart or connected fridge from Samsung. I don’t anticipate that being a positive experience
