Hah, I did the same thing in much the same way, though IIRC I didn't use a relay, I used the existing circuit board and found the place where their MCU output the signal to move the motor. Pretty nice hack, at least until I realized I didn't want a thing spraying perfume in my house.
- 1_player 5y agoSame here, I found this article because I was looking for a time mod so it would spray less often than it does out-of-the-box. And now I'm convinced I should not be spraying any questionable chemical perfume in my house anyway.
- taneq 5y agoA long-neglected project on my to-do list is to do exactly the opposite with one of these. I want to use the circuit board to detect movement in front of it and use the motor output to close a relay instead of squirting smelly stuff. The relay would then trigger a button push on my wireless doorbell button and ring the doorbell if it detected movement. I really should get back on that.
- floitsch 5y agoMe too. I used the existing board and connected myself directly to the transistor. Used http://toit.io http://toit.io to connect the ESP32 to the cloud so I could control it from my phone (with a tiny Flutter app).
