GodEtter
GodEtter is a smart fridge WoT project developed for the IDG3006 course at NTNU Gjøvik. Our solution aims to help people reduce food waste and save money by providing a comprehensive overview of their fridge contents accessible from anywhere. Users scan items when placing them in the fridge, and this information is then synced to an accompanying app.

About
How it works
When an item is scanned using the scanner, the barcode is sent to the back-end. Product information is then retrieved and stored in a database with all required details. The inventory can be viewed on our front-end app, where each new item is assigned an estimated best-before date. Users have the option to edit or delete items as needed.
Development
The front-end was developed using React, while the back-end was built with PHP and MySQL. For the main hardware, we utilised a Raspberry Pi running Python. The hardware setup includes a physical barcode scanner, a Playstation 4 controller and a speaker.
