Battery powered WiFi essential oil diffuser?

Options
So 

I don't really care for this being "smart" other than to tell me "your batteries are running low", or "you're out of fragrance"

There is this 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glade-Automatic-Spray-Freshener-Relaxing/dp/B07L9N5N9S

Which is battery powered but the replacement sprays are more expensive than essential oils are. It still isn't "smart" too

I want it to be battery powered purely because then it's portable and you can put it wherever ie: in a hallway

Does anyone have any recommendations?

    This doesn't answer your question, but these fragrance diffusers are just releasing (arguably unnecessary) chemicals into the air, which you, your family and any visitors are then breathing in.

    The MSE way would be not to have these things.

    I have one from Amazon that you put water and essential oils in (we're allergic to artificial fragrances). Whilst it does plug in with USB you can use a long cable or even a portable battery pack.

    I know it's not perfect but does mean you can use essential oils rather than the chemicals

    Essential oils are chemicals, normally 40-60 different chemicals like hydrocarbons and oxygenated terpenoids and nonterpenoid derivatives that contain functional groups such as alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones.

    Yes, there is no such thing as "chemical free" water is a chemical after all.
