Hardwares:
•Two Adafruit Feather WIFI Boards
•Arduino Mega
•CCS811 Gas Sensors
•LCD Display
•Ultrasonic Sensor
Technologies:
•IFTTT
•Adafruit IO
•WIFI
•Arduino Coding
I made a prototype to realize our idea. We used a 16X2 LCD Display to represents the display on the fridge. You can put VOC sensors in the container or drawer of the food you want to track.

What I have learned
In this project, I learned how to connect the digital world and the physical world with IOT technology and IOT mode of thinking. As an interaction designer, we should not only learn how people speak to machines but also how machines speak to machines and serve people as a whole system.
