Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.

You know, there are plenty of cheap window sensors you could just as well attach to your fridge door to achieve this XD.

    Yeah I have built little wireless sensors using ESPHome. I figured this way I could just make it work with software since it was essentially for a joke and not really important.

    The only thing I really use the connectivity for is to let me know when someone left the fridge door open. Which unfortunately happens a lot.
