Air Wick's Essential Mist Smart Diffuser shows anything can be made 'smart'
What you need to know
- Air Wick has announced the Essential Mist Smart Diffuser.
- There are iOS and Android apps.
- Users can turn the diffuser on and off as well as set schedules.
Air WIck has announced the Essential Mist Smart Diffuser and yes, it's an oil diffuser that can be controlled from either an iPhone or Android phone.
Setting the smart control aside, where this diffuser seems to differ from the norm is the fact it uses pre-mixed refills that negate the need to deal with water that needs to be refilled. So you use a refill to avoid refilling. Ok then.
There's a free Air Wick iPhone and Andoid app that handles all the programming and you can have your new diffuser turn on and off when you need it to, according to 9to5Mac. So, maybe have it turn on before your sweaty teenager walks in from school?
Whatever the use case for this thing, it isn't as expensive as you might expect. It's priced at $20 and the refills sell for around $5 apiece. Unfortunately, finding the diffuser online seems to be almost impossible but that'll likely change soon enough.
