You have probably noticed, during a visit to a household appliances, these two -door fridges, known as American, who have a screen on the front.This one is not only present to watch TV.It has many interactivity functions.Connected to the Internet, the product can display various elements.The most fun is undoubtedly to replace the magnets, photos, drawings and messages which often adorn the frigidaires.All this can be taken up on the screen.They are sent from smartphones and the Family Hub application developed by Samsung, but they can also be created directly on the fridge door.It's like a large digital tablet.It has different applications to create, play or listen to music, but not only.This screen is customizable and has several windows that you drag, just like on a smartphone.It works in the same way ... fingerprints therefore also remain.

The tested fridge was supplied by Samsung.The operating system of the device turns under Tizen, software developed by the South Korean company which is also embedded in the brand's watches.This implies that you cannot install all the programs you will find in the Google virtual store, but only those validated by the firm for this device.Their number increases over time.We find Spotify and also applications more dedicated to the kitchen such as consulting recipes, buying Nespresso coffee capsules or ordering your races in particular.

See food

Cameras, installed in the doors, allow you to see inside the freezer and the refrigerator without having to open the door, but also from anywhere, since the device is connected to the Internet.Practical if you no longer remember if there are grated cheese for the evening spaghetti in the evening during your shopping;No need to call home to find out if it is missing.But it all depends on how you have put your fridge, because if the cheese package is behind the jam, you won't see it.

Another function saves each food placed in the device.This allows you to know the inventory.A expiration date can be associated with it.In this case, a reminder will be displayed in the event of an exceeding of it.This information will also be found in the smartphone application.It’s a good idea, but it’s tedious to encode food one by one.A QR code recording system would be welcome.One could imagine that the products are transferred from the race list or your receipt after approval.This is the principle used when you choose a recipe in the application installed on the fridge: you can send the ingredients directly to your running list;which turns out to be very practical.A list you find on your smartphone to consult it at the store;No need to copy it on a small piece of paper.

A microphone is also included in the fridge.It makes it possible to exploit the vocal assistant of the Bixby brand developed by the South Korean brand.Speakers are incorporated to broadcast music or messages.The sound rendering is too sharp for a good return of the music.

It also works for phones that are not from the fridge brand, but you will still have to create a Samsung personal account.

The technical management of the device is carried out via the Smart Things application.It warns you if the doors of the fridge have remained open and allows you for example to modify the temperature.It also controls all the connected objects of your home, even if they are not identical brand.Despite the large number of products it can manage, only the connected lamps in my home have been taken care of.The other products have not been recognized.It is true that there are a large number of devices with very different standards.But the idea of a unique application to order all devices is a good idea, rather than installing multiple software to manage its connected objects.
