The DecayDock is a new DIY device using an ESP32-CAM module and Edge AI to track refrigerator inventory and estimate food freshness through a color-coded LCD display system.
Key Points
- The DecayDock utilizes an ESP32-CAM microcontroller to identify food items via image recognition.
- Users track inventory through an attached LCD screen that displays freshness using a green, yellow, and red color-coded system.
- The device relies on estimated shelf lives rather than real-time chemical analysis of food spoilage.
- The project was developed by user ptallthings93 to help households reduce food waste by prioritizing items nearing their expiration dates.
