Our experiences

| Component | Room | Experiences |
|---|---|---|
| FlowerBud Smart Aroma Diffuser | Uninstalled | This was in some ways a positive experience, but it was partly vulnerable to WiFi connection losses, as it only works on 2.4 GHz, and partly if one has pets in the house, one must make sure that the essential oils used are not harmful to the pets. It was therefore uninstalled. |
