Talk:Cheesoid

• interact with the fridge for cheese status
• interact with the petrol pump for petrol status

• it needs to know where they are to go and talk to them
• the status needs to be stored and needs to be set - Xino at each?
• it need to be able to read the status from the fridge and the petrol pump - what sort of interface? IR remote control?
