The Internet of Things (IoT) has made a significant impact on improving human life in the modern era, offering convenience and ease. Smart appliances, which are connected to the Internet, have become increasingly popular due to their improved efficiency, robustness, power consumption, and connectivity. The main objective of this paper is to convert a conventional refrigerator into an intelligent appliance by integrating computational intelligence using a microcontroller and a range of sensors. The proposed approach aims to improve food management capabilities by introducing automated techniques and cost-effective intelligence to the refrigerator. The resulting smart refrigerator is designed to be user-friendly and improve the overall quality of life. The system includes a mobile or web application that acts as a bridge between the refrigerator and the user, allowing for remote control and monitoring. The smart refrigerator employs sensors to detect shortages of items and can automatically place orders online or send messages to grocery stores for item delivery. Additionally, the smart module continuously monitors temperature and humidity levels, uploading real-time updates to a cloud platform for user access. The integration of IoT technology into refrigerators offers numerous features and benefits, ultimately enhancing convenience and efficiency in managing food storage
