  • Ultrasonic diffuser base (or a small humidifier)
  • ESP32 microcontroller
  • Relay module (to control mist on/off)
  • RGB LED ring or strip (for aura lighting)
  • Optional: DHT11/22 sensor for temp & humidity
  • USB power source
  • Essential oils of choice (lavender, frankincense, sandalwood, etc.)

🔧 What It Can Do

  • 🌀 Control mist and lighting remotely via Wi-Fi
  • 📱 Integrate with smartphone app or Home Assistant
  • ⏰ Create time-based rituals (e.g., morning mist, evening calm)
  • 🌡️ Adjust diffusion based on humidity or temperature
  • 🗣️ Add voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant

📿 Mantra for the Machine

“With each breath, I anoint my space. The mist carries my prayer to sky.”

💻 Sample Arduino Code Snippet


#define MIST_PIN 5
#define LED_PIN 18

void setup() {
  pinMode(MIST_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, LOW); // Start off
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, HIGH); // Mist ON
  delay(10000); // 10 sec on
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, LOW);  // Mist OFF
  delay(30000); // 30 sec rest
}
