Home Reviews ,,,,, In recent weeks we have tried Oittm's Smart Aroma Diffuser, an aroma diffuser that can be remotely controlled from a smartphone or tablet through an app. It is an interesting accessory for the home that can be easily managed from any room, it does not need filters to work and thanks to its clean and linear design it goes well with the furniture of a modern style living room.
As did
All in good quality satin white plastic, it has a teardrop shape with rounded and beautiful curves to look at. It basically consists of three parts: a base, inside which the water to be vaporized will be inserted (maximum 200ml, there is an internal line to recognize the maximum level at a glance), a washable transparent cap to avoid that splashes of water can escape and a lid that reflects the lines of the entire base.
On the base there are four large rubber feet while on the back we find the hole for the power supply. On the front there are five buttons that allow you to manage all the functions also manually, without the need to pair it with the smartphone with the remote control app.
How does it work
Just fill it with water, pour in a few drops of your favorite aroma, close the lid and press the On button. The diffuser will immediately begin to vaporize the solution, with a thin and continuous jet. It is also possible to alternate 30 seconds of jet with as many pauses for a more gradual aroma diffusion.
Both the upper part and the central ring light up: inside there is in fact an LED light that changes color automatically, but through the appropriate button it is also possible to lock it to a specific color. A timer can also be activated to stop the spread of aromas after 1–3–5 hours.
The application
The app, for iOS and Android, is localized in English but the user interface is rather simple and easy to understand even for those who do not master the language well. The app shows the same physical controls but allows you to manage them more clearly, both as regards the programming of the timer and for the selection of the lighting color of the diffuser, through a special slider.
The convenience of the app lies above all in the management of the vaporizer, which can be switched on or off even if you are in another room of the house.
Good technology, but there is still a lot of work to be done
The most interesting function of the vaporizer at the moment cannot be exploited in Italy: this device is in fact compatible with Amazon Alexa and can therefore be controlled via voice commands through the appropriate system, not yet available in our country.
Unfortunately, an integration with Apple's HomeKit is missing, which would certainly have made the device more interesting for those who are slowly automating their apartment.
Conclusions
If you take it for what it is, Oittm's diffuser is a great home accessory, not only for its modern design, but also for its ease of control and management of the vaporizer. The timer for automatic switch-off is very convenient, as is the adjustment of the jet, very useful when you exaggerate with the dose of aroma or if you choose a very aggressive one.
The control via app is an added value of the system, which can be managed comfortably from the sofa without having to lift a finger.
Price to the public
Smart Aroma Diffuser by Oittm is on sale on Amazon for 39.99 euros.
