Basically the title. I have commercial automatic sprayers tastefully hung, but I’m not happy with them. The cans of air freshener don’t have lasting scent and turning them up to max kills the cans and 2xC batteries quickly. I do find them useful for killing mosquitoes in the garage when I put the insecticide cans ….but I digress. This is about air freshener.

These no-shake febreze air fresheners smell good and the scent lasts for a while. It’s probably full of goy-poison, but let’s ignore that for a minute.

How could I put something small and battery-powered on this to pull the trigger at like a 20 minute time interval?

No worries. Any other ideas??

I'd probably use a solenoid with a stick controlled by an arduino. A simple program to sleep for 1200 seconds, activate for 5, and repeat. Tying that all together in a neat box may be an issue, however.
