Air Wick recently introduced a new Bluetooth-enabled scented oil diffuser that can be controlled with your iPhone.
A diffuser transforms essential oils into a light, fragrant mist to give your home a nice scent. Air Wick's cordless, battery-powered device uses pre-mixed oil refills, eliminating the need to add water separately.
The free Air Wick app for iOS and Android can be used to create scent schedules, adjust scent intensity, set refill reminders, purchase refills, and more. Apple's smart home platform HomeKit is not currently supported.
A starter pack with the diffuser, batteries, and one refill is available for $20 at Walmart, Target, and select other U.S. retailers.
App-enabled diffusers are nothing new, with many options available on Amazon, but Air Wick is a well-known brand and $20 is a decent price. For those who prefer HomeKit, read our review of the VOCOlinc FlowerBud.

Also that there are many epidemiological cases showing that these highly concentrated vaporized oils are deadly toxic to household pets.
Not to mention several studies and Material Safety Data Sheets showing certain compounds (like vitamin E oil) to be incredibly beneficial when ingested or applied topically, but cause severe respiratory collapse if inhaled in relatively small quantities.
TL;DR: Vaporizing oils in our homes is a brand new frontier of human/animal medical experimentation for which there is practically no precedent scientifically or evolutionarily. I choose not to be a subject of this experiment.
I wonder too how bad the security is on this product.
SON: Dad! Look at this thing. It says it’s some kind of... scent diffuser?
FATHER: Yeah. People used to buy stuff like this. You could make a smell come out of a little electrical device, over the Internet. So you could do it from anywhere in the world.
SON: Even while the ecosystems were collapsing? Wasn’t that considered a waste of resources? I mean, to think of the carbon emissions involved in designing, manufacturing, and transporting millions of those things. Seems like—
FATHER: Son? That’s enough. Just keep looking for cans. There might be soup here somewhere.
