+Hey Yu,
+I really liked the idea of your plant producing scents when people have certain problems. And I also liked the fact that the plant would produce the scent
+even in situations when we are not doing anything in particular with the plant itself.
+It would be nice the plant would work without to much workload of it's owner.
+Because if your are stressed or ill or tired,
+I don't think you will have the nerves to programming your plant.
+It takes time!!!
+The problem to let anybody know how you feel today, is not that big thing.
+There are so many meaning to essentials oils that it's hard to guess whats wrong with the plants owner.
+For example lavender is used for aromatic therapie when:
+- you are stressed and sleepless
+- you are sick and injured, because its antiseptic
+- you are depressed
+But without any problem it can also be:
+- good for your heart and skin
+- relaxing, refreshing and stimulating
+So I wouldn't care to much about that. Because there are a lot of people working with essential oil in their living area today *my mom for example* and I never heard 'ah Mrs. Walk thats lemongrass...are you feeling sick?'.
+Most people would think, 'ah that smells nice really refreshing'.
+But Sebastian is right it should be possible to tell the plant to stop or to do the opposite of what it is doing already.
+I Thought may *yeah may be* pheromons would be a good solution to it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone Wikipedia: pheromones]
+As you might know they are hormones normally found in body fluids like sweat or saliva to give others information about our body or attendance for sexual reproduction. Also plants use them to deliver special messenges from one to another. May be you can give your plant when you don't like it to produce any scent or to produce the opposite scent a special mix of pheromones to let them know what you want.
+I hope that I was able to be of assistance to you.
+(ahhh and please ignore the misspelling ^^)
