Summary of Hack your fridge with IoT kit!
This hack uses the IoT Kit Wi‑Fi (FlyportPRO) to alarm your fridge: it emails a chosen recipient each time the fridge door is opened during a set time window. FlyportPRO starts as a softAP so you can configure the receiver email, subject, and activation start/stop via its web server; then it connects to your Wi‑Fi and uses a light sensor to detect door openings and trigger emails.
Parts used in the Fridge Alarm IoT Hack:
- IoT Kit Wi‑Fi (FlyportPRO)
- Light sensor
- Power supply for FlyportPRO
- Wi‑Fi network (for connectivity)
- Web browser (to access FlyportPRO web server)
This is the first hack we made using the new IoT Kit Wi-Fi!
We know you guys like to eat during night (the best time for programming and hacking) but this is a really unhealthy habit and we want you fit and healthy! 
How it works
The alarm for your fridge activates at a certain time and sends an email (to your girlfriend, mum, enemy or whoever kicks your ass) every time you open the door of the fridge
How to set it up? Easy, FlyportPRO starts as softAP and you can connect to its web server where you can setup the email address of the receiver, the subject and the activation time (start/stop). After setup it restarts and connects to your Wi-Fi and the light sensors makes the rest.
