First go to Apple App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store(Android) depending on the phone you will be using.
-
a) iPhone & iPad (Apple App Store)
- Tap Get (or the download cloud icon)

-
Android (Google Play)
- Tap Install
- When it finishes, tap Open (or find it on your home screen/app drawer)
-
a) iPhone & iPad (Apple App Store)
-
Next, create your account by signing in with your ScentAir app login or choose one of our single sign-on options (Google, Apple, or Facebook).
Adding your device
Once inside the ScentAir app, you have two ways to connect and manage your diffuser:

EXPLAINING WI-FI VS BLUETOOTH CONNECTIONS
-
Wi-Fi Connection
-
Think of Wi-Fi as remote control from anywhere.
-
With Wi-Fi, your diffuser is linked to the internet. That means you can check on it, change settings, or update schedules even if you’re away from the office.
-
Perfect if you want full control when you’re not nearby.
-
Think of Wi-Fi as remote control from anywhere.
-
Bluetooth Connection
-
Think of Bluetooth as a local handshake.
-
Bluetooth connects your phone directly to the diffuser when you’re in the same room (within about 30 feet).
-
It’s quick, reliable, and doesn’t need internet—but you’ll only be able to control the diffuser when you’re close.
-

SCHEDULING MADE EASY
WHY SCHEDULING MATTERS
-
Save time by setting your diffuser once and letting it run automatically.
-
Control fragrance levels around events, business hours, or your personal routine.
-
Prevent wasted fragrance oil by avoiding unnecessary run times.
KEY THINGS TO KNOW
-
Up to 14 Wi-Fi schedules are available when connected via Wi-Fi .
-
Up to 6 Bluetooth schedules can be saved on a single diffuser.
-
All schedules are stored on the diffuser itself. This means your diffuser will keep running on schedule even if Wi-Fi drops
-
You can create multiple schedules as long as they don’t overlap.
PRO TIPS FOR SCHEDULING
-
Match your routine → Example: Run fragrance from 8 AM – 6 PM on weekdays for an office.
-
Use multiple schedules → Example: A stronger fragrance during peak hours, and a lighter scent in the evenings.
-
Seasonal flexibility → Set different schedules for winter vs summer when doors and windows are open more often.
-
Check time zones → Make sure your diffuser location has the correct time zone set so schedules activate at the right time.
