Pura Smart Home Benefits
Smart home devices are becoming more and more popular. One of the newest and most convenient is the Pura diffuser.
It lets you control your fragrances through an app. It also has a few other useful features like away mode and a customizable schedule.
The device can work for up to 1000 square feet. It holds two different fragrances at a time and can be swapped out as you wish.
Scents
Unlike standard fragrance plug-ins, this smart device diffuses your chosen scents on demand. Everything from setting scent intensity to ordering more vials is managed through the app.
The device comes with two scent bottles but can support up to four. The app determines which scent you’re using by scanning a QR code located on each bottle or entering in a three-digit code manually. The app also shows a picture of each scent so you can choose between them more easily.
You can also set a schedule for each scent, which allows you to switch between them regularly. This is a great way to avoid scent fatigue and it helps ensure that your home smells fresh even when you’re not there. The device also has an “Away Mode” that shuts the device off when it detects you’re out of the house. This feature is a nice touch that gives the Pura an edge over similar smart diffusers on the market.
Control
Smart home technology allows you to connect your commonly used devices so they operate remotely or on a scheduled time. This can help you save on energy costs and eliminates the need to operate each device individually.
The Pura smart fragrance diffuser is a great example of this type of tech. You can use the app to set scent schedules and even create one-off timers. It also doubles as a night light, which you can adjust the color and brightness of.
While the smart fragrance diffuser from Pura does not offer as many features as some other smart home devices, it offers the right combination of functionality to make it useful in my daily life. I especially like how it can be controlled via voice using the Alexa or Google Assistant apps, as well as a location-tracking feature that turns the device off when you leave the house. This saves on energy costs and helps reduce the chance of forgetting to shut off a device in time for an event or late arrival.
Safety
The baby boomer generation is aging at home, and smart home technology is helping them do so safely. Smart devices are being developed to help with things like reducing the risk of falls (one in three seniors experience a fall each year) by monitoring activities and alerting caregivers when a fall happens.
Smart tech is also being developed to keep people safer outside the home, with smart security systems that can alert you if you forget to close the garage door before leaving on a trip or that someone is at your front door. Some even have cameras that you can check remotely.
Many smart devices are designed to work together, connecting through one app or voice control so they can all be adjusted at the same time. For example, a smart speaker can be set up to automatically turn on your lights as you enter the house, or your fridge can add milk to your grocery list when it detects you’re running low.
App
Unlike some smart devices, which can feel cluttered with options and require learning curves, the Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser plugs into a standard outlet and controls itself through an easy-to-use app. It’s easy to set a schedule, swap between two different scents and even add a custom nightlight color that works with your home decor.
It also has a location-tracking feature that turns the device off when you’re not home to save on energy costs. Plus, it works with Alexa voice control for a more effortless experience.
The only downside is that the app doesn’t offer a feature that allows you to see when the diffuser needs new fragrance cartridges, which can be a bit inconvenient. But overall, it’s a great product for a smarter home that smells fresh and clean.
