Do I need the AeraForHome app for my Aera diffuser or Mini?

No, the AeraForHome app is not needed to add scent to your space.

The free AeraForHome app allows you to control your Aera diffuser and Mini remotely, allowing you to set and monitor different scenting schedules at home from anywhere in the world. With the app, you can set Aera to turn off while you’re sleeping, ensure that Aera greets you with fresh fragrance right as you arrive home from work, or control multiple diffusers in multiple rooms with unique scents and intensities. You can easily check your app to see how much fragrance is left in each loaded fragrance capsule, and order refills directly off your phone when they’re running low.
