A method includes wirelessly coupling a domestic appliance to a mobile device and allocating or assigning a sensor of the domestic appliance as a local apparatus of the mobile device for a function running on the mobile device. A household appliance, a mobile device and a system including a household appliance and a mobile device, are also provided.

Coupling a domestic appliance to a mobile device

A household appliance includes at least one movable door and at least one sensor for detecting a door movement, particularly a door opening angle of the at least one door. The at least one sensor includes at least one inertial sensor integrated into the at least one door. The household appliance is particularly advantageously a refrigerating device, especially a refrigerator, having a pivoting door.

Domestic appliance comprising a sensor for detecting a door movement

A domestic appliance, e.g. a refrigerator, has a switching element and a network interface for connecting the domestic appliance to a local network. The domestic appliance has precisely one switching element, in particular a pushbutton, and can be connected to a remote control via the local network by actuating the switching element. A method is used to operate a domestic appliance which has precisely one switching element and a network interface for connecting the domestic appliance to a local network. The domestic appliance is connected to a remote control via the local network by actuating the switching element.

A domestic refrigeration appliance includes a thermally insulated housing which limits a coolable interior chamber provided for storing food and being accessible through an opening. A frame-shaped end face frames the opening of the housing. A door leaf for opening and closing the opening of the housing is mounted in such a way that it can pivot relative to an axis by using at least one hinge. A cover is provided for covering the hinge. A triggering device is disposed within the cover and is configured to actuate at least one device of the domestic refrigeration appliance depending on an opening angle of the door leaf. A method for operating a domestic refrigeration appliance is also provided.

A refrigerating device includes a camera module for capturing a first digital image with markings in the interior of the refrigerating device. The refrigerating device includes a processing device which is configured to convert the first digital image into a second digital image on the basis of the captured markings.

A household appliance includes a controller operating on an energy supply network having a data network for exchanging data via the energy supply network, wherein the network may include smart metering. The controller has a first control component embodies as a computer, a second control component for settings data, a third control component for operating data, and a fourth control component connected with the first control component and including a graph algorithm. The first control component determines data for controlling actuators from the settings data and the operating data. Through cooperation of the first control component, the fourth control component and the graph algorithm, the data from the data network for the household appliance are taken into account so as to allow operation of the household appliance always to continue. A corresponding method for operating such household appliance is also described.

A method and device for controlling a domestic appliance connected to an electric grid so as to allow smart metering, wherein electric power consumed according to different consumption tariffs is measured and the domestic appliance receives information about the availability of a currently applicable consumption tariff or a switch-off condition for preventing peak loads in the grid. The domestic appliance is operated as follows: a) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the appliance is put into operation as intended, and the history of the cleaning process is continuously recorded; b) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is not available or the switch-off condition is met, the appliance is not put into operation or a previously started operation is interrupted; and c) when information about an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the domestic appliance resumes operation, and a component of a detergent is added based on the recorded history.
