Glad you like the video. I have made a automation video for the glade air freshener mod ruclips.net/video/qKIG5ycUd7Q/видео.html I plan on making more in the future. 😀

I'm really new at trying to tinker and make devices and sensors, so I apologize if my question is elementary lol dont hold it against me. So why do we have to use buck converter to regulate the voltage down to 3.3 volts for the motor, is 5 volts too much for this particular project?
Yes it is, i stripped the plastic gears on the motor trying what you suggest. There is some pretty high torque involved. And i also tried using the 3.3 volts coming from the micro controller, but the MCU would either lock up or reset. After some testing found that the MCU doesn't put out enough current to power the motor when it is trying to push the air fresheners nozzle down. Don't worry about asking questions, I'm a firm believer of the saying about there being no stupid questions.
The parts required (the 3 circuit boards) currently cost about $14 USD, so this project could easily pay for itself just by eliminating the batteries! But real value is definitely the automation.
Yes, and the fact that you don't have to have it spray every 9,18,36 min. Which is where glade makes it's money, refills. They sure aren't making much on the sprayer itself as it's only $6.00 USD. Main reason i decided to mod it. I have several of these around the house and they all have over a 1000 sprays remaining. They have been running for over 4 months now. 😀
Neat project. I understand why you made it USB powered but it loses the portability of batteries, plus in the UK you are very limited about electrical sockets in bathrooms / toilets so other than a double insulated shaver socket we tend not to have any sockets. Wonder if you could fit a larger battery pack inside and if so how long it would last? Might be a non starter
Yep i'm afraid so. The MCU needs to be constantly connected to HA via wifi so it can listen for commands to know when to spray. So the MCU can not be put to sleep like say a temp sensor could be, and wifi is a power hog.
That was a great video. Also, I like that now the air freshener is powered instead of needing batteries, though those batteries do tend to last long. I suppose you could modify what controller you use so you could include something like PIR or other sensors. Anyway, great idea.
Thank You. The MCU needs to be listening to HA to know when to spray so it needed to be powered instead of running off of batteries anyway. I thought of putting a PIR or mmWave sensor inside it but i like most others already have PIR and mmWave sensors in most rooms anyway so decided not to. I will be putting out a part 2 showing how i used those sensors and others to make the air freshener spray when i wanted. So stay tuned for that
This is very cool - many thanks Larry for documenting and filming it! Slightly related: I have a Brondell swash bidet powered by a Tasmotized power monitoring plug. When the bidet air drying mode is detected by the plug (based on wattage), a HA automation turns on the extractor fan for 10 minutes.
Glad you liked the video and thanks. That sounds cool you can even have the air freshener spray at the time the fan is turned on I have replaced a dumb switch with a esp32, a relay and a bme280 temp and humidity sensor. ruclips.net/video/5JBcR0OkVcw/видео.html Also installed a VL53lox time-of-flight sensor ( ruclips.net/video/2ZEIDl2Fluc/видео.html ) that points across the seat of the toilet so the fan and the air freshener only trigger when i sit down on the seat, or when the humidity goes above a certain level.
I've tried this project, but I noticed some problems with the Xiao Esp32c3 from Seed. If I cycle the power (usb off-on) the dc motor goes on (turning on and on) and the board does not connect, until I reset; then the board connects and the motor stops and responds to the buttons. Any ideas?
@@MarcoA.E norrmal for the motor to move on power up a little, but should connect right away to wifi. I have used the ESP32C3 in many projects without problem. I have 5 of these modified glade air fresheners in different locations in my home and all working fine without problems. Perhaps try a different mcu. Move to different location to see if weak wifi signal. Also check esphome log for mcu, see if it shows any errors
@@HATipsByLarry Even with VERBOSE in the logger there's nothing noticeable; beyond gpio9 being a strapping pin. It seems to affect the boot, as there's about 2.2V on that pin before I manually reset - then the voltage of that pin drops to 0V and the board finally loads.

Glad you liked the video. It has great wife approval factor also. Wanted to find a way to make it better., as the way it was you could only have it spray on a schedule, either 9, 18 or 36 minutes. Very wasteful IMO. This should make the cans of spray last a LOT longer. Plus it sprays when you really need it now. 😀
If you check out my code you can see where i start the motor forward then wait for 300 ms then break the motor. Then reverse the motor for another 300 ms.

@HATipsByLarry I had an older model (20 years). I figured out indeed it was trial and error. I landed at 500ms but alas it lived only 2 weeks until it broke. I was lucky I had footage of it working or I wouldn't have had a project to submit. 😬
@@Dylan_Lanckman I've had mine going for over a month now. So far no problems with it at all and gears look brand new. 😀 A friend of mine did try driving the motor with 5vdc (didn't use a buck converter to bring the voltage down) and ended up damaging the teeth on the gears.
@HATipsByLarry exactly what happened with me. My electronics professor warned me for this but I didn't understand the logic at the moment so my contraption ground it's own gears apart.
Thank You. I made the decision to replace the original PCB to make it easier, instead of having to cut traces and solder tiny wires to tiny points on a tiny PCB. For a $1.50 USD for the motor controller, i figured it was worth it.
No. That's why i delay exactly 300ms then break the motor so it doesn't cost and reverse for exactly 300ms then break then release the motor. I did break a few gears until i got it right testing of course, but then that's why you have me 😀So you don't have to break things getting it right.

@@HATipsByLarry thats great and nice to hear. I was looking to automate the same air freshner for quite some time now and it was a suprise when I saw your video haha. I'm still looking into a battery powered one and a stepper motor instead so the turns are more precise. But I guess with what you've shown, we have a proof of concept. Great job!
@@itscarlsanity Thank You. A battery powered one that works with home assistant would be almost impossible to do (unless you want to recharge the battery a LOT) or had a big external battery, because the Micro-Controller can't be put to sleep and needs constant wifi (power hog) connection so it can be triggered by the automations. If your talking say a temp/humidity sensor for example then no problem as the sensor could wake the micro-controller when the temp/humidity changes then the controller could transmit the changes and go back to sleep.
@@HATipsByLarry thats why I wasn't able to do it haha An 18650 battery could work. I hear it could last 17 hrs for an ESP with deep sleep. Not sure how could you just wake it up when a command is sent from Home Assistant. I've also seen a small solar panel that charges the battery in the day so it never runs out but I mean the air freshner is an indoor thing so you'd have to put a wire to the solar panel outside which kinda defeats the purpose haha. Some solar lights have that circuit, you have rip apart the lights and just put a voltage regulator to 3.3v and you're good to go.
