Abstract: In the modern era where technology is deeply rooted in one's daily life, the dependence on machines increases. A technology where we define relationships between different objects, devices or components is one such example of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, we must also consider solutions for integrating objects and devices before the concept of IoT emerges. For this reason, the proposed work aims to develop a low-cost smart container that informs us about the amount of products, regardless of the type of material, stored inside the container. It also assesses essential features that can be used for research, such as the internal temperature and humidity of the material stored inside the container. Additionally, a system-defined shopping list can be prepared and items can be added to the shopping list if the quantity of products falls below a user-defined threshold value.

Keywords: smart container; temperature; application; humidity; object.
