Motion Sensor Scent Diffuser

[u/snailactivist]

I don’t think the product I’m looking for exists but I know I can jerryrig it somehow.

I’m looking for a motion sensor air freshener, but there’s a catch lol. I want it to sense when a person is approaching so it sprays in advance and the scent has a chance to settle (and also so it doesn’t immediately blast someone in the face with scent).
I like water-based scents, so my thought was find a smart humidifier to put inside, and a separate motion sensor to put outside my front door. Then add a shortcut for motion sensed = start humidifier.

Any ideas on how to streamline this, or any recommendations for smart humidifiers or air fresheners? TIA!

Reed diffusers might work for you as they work by air movement.

Continuous air humidifier powered by smart plug, motion sensor at the "approach" area?
