What is a Smart Diffuser?
A smart diffuser is a device that converts essential oils into fragrant vapor (aroma) and disperses it into the air, making it easier to inhale.
This device can be controlled through apps or smart devices such as smartphones or tablets.
With a smart diffuser, the spread of essential oil aroma can be controlled digitally to adjust aroma intensity, diffusion time, and other features such as LED lights.
The Functions of Smart Diffuser
Here are some of the main functions of a smart diffuser:
- Turning essential oils into aromatic vapor: Smart diffusers work by heating essential oils and turning them into a fine, aromatic vapor so that the scent can be dispersed evenly throughout the room.
- Improves indoor air quality: The aromatherapy vapor produced can help freshen the air, neutralize bad odors, and give the room a cleaner and more comfortable feel.
- Regulates ambient lighting: Some types of smart diffusers are equipped with RGB LED lights whose colors can be changed as desired, creating a more calming or pleasant atmosphere.
- Other additional features: Some models also offer extra functions such as a timer, various mist spraying modes, and remote control via a smartphone app.
The Benefits of Smart Diffuser
Here are some detailed benefits of a smart diffuser:
1. Helps relieve breathing
The scent of oils like eucalyptus or peppermint can help relieve nasal congestion. This is especially useful when the flu or allergies strike.
2. Relaxation and calming the mind
The scent from a diffuser can create a calm and peaceful atmosphere. This is very helpful for relieving stress and calming the mind after a tiring day.
3. Helps sleep better
Essential oils such as lavender are proven effective in helping the body and mind relax more at night. This can improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms.
4. Relieve pain
Some essential oils have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve muscle and joint pain. Regular use of a diffuser can also help reduce minor headaches.
5. Supports immunity
Certain essential oils contain antimicrobial compounds that can help ward off infections. This contributes to a naturally boosted immune system.
6. Repels insects and mosquitoes
Oils like citronella are effective at repelling mosquitoes and insects thanks to their distinctive scent. This makes it a natural alternative to chemical insect repellents.
Smart Diffuser Regulations in Indonesia
Smart diffuser uses communication technologies such as Bluetooth or WiFi that operate within a specific frequency spectrum. In Indonesia, any Bluetooth or WiFi-based wireless device is required to have DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure) under the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI).
This is based on KEPMEN No. 260 Tahun 2024 and No. 12 Tahun 2025, which require all radio frequency-based devices, including smart diffusers, to meet specific technical standards before being sold in the country.
The certification ensures that the product meets government safety and quality regulations and does not interfere with other communication devices. The certification process involves technical testing, such as frequency adjustments, safety checks, and compatibility with the surrounding environment.
Once the tests are completed, products that pass are listed in a Test Result Report, which confirms that the product is safe and ready for sale in Indonesia. This report reassures customers that the product meets technical standards and is secure.
For companies wanting to sell smart diffusers in Indonesia, Type Approval Certification Services for ICT Products are available to assist with this process. This service includes preparing technical and legal documents, conducting required testing, ensuring compliance with regulations, helping companies streamline the certification process, and giving consumers confidence in certified products.
