Abstract
An aerosol dispenser includes a housing adapted to accommodate an aerosol container. A spray mechanism communicates with the aerosol container and is actuable to dispense an aerosol spray of material from the aerosol container. A controller actuates the spray mechanism to effect dispensing of the aerosol material. A remote unit is provided to establish a wireless communication link with the controller.

An aerosol dispenser comprising:
- a housing adapted to accommodate an aerosol container;
- a spray mechanism communicating with said aerosol container and being actuable to dispense an aerosol spray of material from said aerosol container;
- and
- a controller to actuate said spray mechanism, said controller including a wireless communication receiver to receive operation information from a remote source transmitted over a wireless communication link and a central processing unit in communication with said wireless communication receiver and said spray mechanism, said central processing unit including a clock and memory storing operation settings and an operation routine executed by said central processing unit, said operation settings determining selected intervals at which said spray mechanism is actuated and the duration of actuation, said operating settings being accessed by said central processing unit during execution of said operation routine and being remotely programmable by said remote source via said wireless communication link.
