Scent-a-Tron v2: Make a Glade Air Freshener Smart with ESPHome

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Thank you PCBWay: https://pcbway.com/g/uNJeQG for quick and easy PCB fabrication, 3D Printing or CNC Machining and for sponsoring this tutorial. 💖

💰For a total parts cost (£10) this whole project costs less than my previous tutorial's base Air Freshener unit - Before you modify it.

Oh hello! In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a GLADE Air Freshener SMART! - With just a D1 Mini, my new favourite Regulator Board and my awesome ESPHome Code. 😎
I have FULL instructions for everything you'll need to do to replicate your own "Smart" Air Freshener and connect it to Home Assistant.
Once done you'll be able to; Control it remotely, "Squirt" on demand and setup all manner of automations and scheduling. Plus, it'll even tell you how much is left in the can!
