I continued my quest to improve the Polydryer Box by giving it a brain! Say hello to the Polydryer Smart IoT Desiccant Container.

The “brain” behind this upgrade? A simple, affordable, and fully local Zigbee solution:

This container is based on my popular More Desiccant Container (MDC) Mod:

That means you still get the same perfect fit and minimal interference with spools, now enhanced with smart monitoring capabilities. It even comes with a funnel for quick and easy refills!

 

 

With this mod, you can keep track of your drying setup’s condition and integrate the collected data into your favorite smart home ecosystem.

While this version currently uses Zigbee, I know not everyone relies on the same smart home standard. That’s why I’m always open to suggestions and ideas from the community! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to help expand the Polydryer ecosystem and make it even smarter and more versatile.
