Smart home technology has become more popular than ever, and for good reason. It enables you to create a network of commonly used devices so you can control them by app or by voice. This saves you the hassle of operating each device individually and, due to automation, may even be a more energy-efficient option.
Just about every appliance you can imagine comes in a “smart” version. From televisions and sound systems to lightbulbs and outlets, it’s easy to make your home smart enough that it can run almost entirely on its own.
One of the newest and most convenient “smart” pieces of technology now available is the Pura Smart Diffuser, the easiest way to enjoy the LAFCO fragrances you love.
The Benefits of Smart Home Technology
The primary benefit of smart home technology is, of course, the interconnectivity aspect of it. Connecting commonly used devices like televisions, coffee makers, thermostats, and more enables you to control these devices remotely or set them on a daily schedule. Depending on the device, you may also be able to check in with various elements of your home in real time.
Smart devices can be set on an automatic schedule, but some can be customized to your needs and preferences. A smart thermostat, for example, may be able to adjust automatically based on local weather conditions. Smart sprinklers may activate themselves based on the amount of sunlight and the types of plants they’re set to water.
Another benefit of a smart home system is that it promotes energy-efficiency. When your heating, cooling, and lighting devices are pre-programmed, you can cut down on operation costs. Plus, with smart outlets and bulbs you can enable automatic shut-off to prevent unnecessary energy expenditure.
Is the Pura Smart Diffuser a Good Investment?
Diffusers are a dime a dozen but some work better than others. Reed diffusers are a great option if you want long-lasting fragrance you can set and forget. Nebulizing diffusers use pressurized air to emit fragrance mist and ultrasonic diffusers use electronic frequency technology to create a fine mist from water and a small amount of fragrance oil.
Any of these options could work, but if you’re looking for something that pairs perfectly with a smart home system, the Pura smart diffuser is your best bet.
Here are 7 reasons why the Pura smart diffuser makes a good addition to your smart home…
- It enables you to personalize your fragrance experience from your smart phone.
- You can switch from one scent to another or customize the fragrance intensity to find your perfect blend.
- It doubles as an ambient nightlight to improve safety at night.
- With chemical-free fragrances, it’s safe for use around children and pets.
- It enables you to set custom schedules or to automatically turn off or on when you leave or return.
- A single device works for spaces ranging from 300 to 1,000 square feet.
- It’s easy to switch fragrances and each vial lasts up to two weeks.
It’s difficult to deny the benefits of a Pura smart home diffuser, but the diffuser itself is only part of the equation. To get the most out of any diffuser, you need high-quality fragrance. LAFCO has partnered with Pura to make their concentrated essential oil-based fragrance blends available. Like all LAFCO fragrances, they are free from dyes, propellants, and other synthetic ingredients to ensure a pure fragrance experience.
How To Use The Pura Smart Diffuser
The beauty of the Pura smart diffuser is that you can completely customize your fragrance experience. Whether you prefer gentle fragrance that creates a sense of comfort at home or something a little stronger to help mask odor from pets or kids, this diffuser is the ideal solution.
The Pura smart diffuser set makes it quick and easy to get started. You’ll receive the diffuser itself with detailed instructions for setting up and controlling it. You’ll also receive two fragrance vials featuring two of LAFCO’s most popular scents:
- Champagne – This bright fragrance has an effervescence to it reminiscent of a fresh bubbling glass of champagne. Delicious notes of raspberry, orange, and mandarin sparkle over a heart of grapefruit, neroli, and ginger. As these notes fade, you’re left with a warm and floral undertone of rose, verbena, and vetiver.
- Chamomile Lavender – This warm and soothing fragrance is perfect for the bedroom or any place you like to relax. Calming chamomile with a hint of bergamot form the initial impression before giving way to a heart of lavender and eucalyptus that fades into a lasting impression of rosemary, honey flower, and Indonesian patchouli.
To get started with your Pura smart diffuser, download the Pura app on your Android or Apple device. You can download it for free on Google Play or the App Store. Once you have the app downloaded, open it up and create a user account. If you plan to share control of the Pura diffuser with another person in your household, create a username and password then have them download the app and login.
Next, plug the Pura diffuser in and wait for the nightlight to turn blue – this indicates that the device is in pairing mode. To pair, select your WiFi network in the app and enter your password to connect. When the device is connected, the nightlight will turn green.
Once your Pura device is connected you can insert the fragrance vials. Remove the two packages from the box and look for the opening on the back of each plastic package. Place your finger in this opening and carefully push out the fragrance vial. Using the app, scan the QR code on the vial or enter the 3-digit code to tell the device which fragrance you’re using.
Next, unscrew the top of the fragrance vial and remove the magnetic covering from the Pura diffuser. Insert the vial into one of the two slots and press it up into the device until you hear a click. Repeat the process with the second vial then replace the magnetic cover. Once everything is installed, go back to the app and select the room where the device is installed.
Here are a few additional tips for making the most out of your Pura Smart Diffuser:
- Always keep the Pura diffuser plugged in upright to prevent the oils from leaking.
- If you have trouble getting the magnetic cover back on after inserting the vials, check to make sure they’ve been pushed in all the way.
- If you need to unplug the device, make sure to remove the fragrance vials first.
- After completing installation, the Pura device may update – simply wait for the nightlight to turn white to indicate that the device is ready to use.
With your Pura smart diffuser set up and connected to WiFi, you can control it remotely using the Pura app. In the app you’ll find options to adjust the fragrance intensity and create custom schedules. You can even enable geo-location technology, so the device shuts off automatically when you leave and turns on once you return home.
Each fragrance vial lasts about two weeks, so it’s wise to keep a few extras on hand. Shop the selection on LAFCO.com where you’ll find popular fragrances such as Sea & Dune, Star Magnolia, Blush Rose, and Jungle Bloom.
