Magic Smart Air Freshener

First of all, I applaud the choice of components chosen for this kit. It's not the most complete I suppose, but there are plenty of options for beginners and advanced players alike to play with. It has components like PIR, tilt, smoke, temperature, vibration sensors, some GPIO modules and others. It is protected by a zippered hard shell and even a plastic box for small components to protect it from factors such as accidental drops, heat and others. Wise packaging was neat and organized. It is compatible with most Pasp Pi and Arduino IDE projects. The only thing that struck me is that the kit does not come with an instruction manual or CD, so it should be used by either an advanced user or an average user like me unless you have manuals or projects that you could use . Manual (these can easily be found on the Arduino and RasPi websites and community, or even on Google and GitHub). Now for the fun part: What I really want to share, what excites me the most is my very first project with this kit. I turn an ordinary air freshener into a smart one. I'm using a regular Airwick air freshener, specifically 8266 for WiFi and coding, PIR sensor, USB cable/connector, LED indicator and some wires. This now allows me to control it with amazon alexa, I was also able to integrate it with ST. When using a PIR sensor, it will only be triggered after a certain amount of time when motion is detected. After all, it only sprays when people are around or when you trigger it by voice or phone. So no more unnecessary flavors.

Pros
  • Keeps Raspberry Pi 4 Cool - Especially with Quiet Fan and 4 Heatsinks for Fast CPU/ROM/RAM Cooling
Cons
  • Concise Guide
