Up until that last sentence I put it in the "hell, no" category, but they've actually added MQTT to it and documented it? That's pretty impressive, and way more than 99.99% of all other manufacturers will do. Just out of interest, which fridge is it? I've never heard of one that's HA-compatible.

Just for the record I have no intention of buying one, my existing fridge has a light that goes on when you open the door and off when you close it, that's enough smarts for me, I'd just be curious to see what they've done.

FWIW there's a good chance your fridge does more than that without you realising it if it's a fridge freezer. A lot of fridge freezers now have an anti-frost system that about once a week or so actually heats up the freezer so that any accumulated ice can melt, and then presumably blows out the damp air somehow (not entirely sure how that part works, other than just blowing the air up the the fridge and hoping the air there is dryer than the air in the freezer) and then goes back to regular freezer mode. I deliberately just an old-school fridge-freezer because having this defrost mode reduces the time you can safely leave things in the freezer for.
