The media could not be loaded. I bought this product on a whim as a splurge while expanding my HomeKit-based smart home. Now I can't really imagine life without it!I LOVE that it integrates with HomeKit's ability to detect humidity, provided you have a hygrometer. I have a hygrometer in the same room that detects the ambient humidity, and this humidifier does not just turn on and off - it actually pumps moisture into the air to reach a desired target humidity. In the winters here it has been dry in the house and I would wake up with dry crackly lips - not anymore! I can set the humidity to a comfortable 40-50% for more comfort sleeping and waking up in the morning.The mood light is nice and soft - I love setting it to an aqua green color to really accentuate the "aquatic" vibe and water-droplet shape of the device.My favorite thing about it is that the mood light and humidifier functions can be set as TWO SEPARATE DEVICES in HomeKit - each with their own tile. If you want you can merge them into one device, in which case the device has two separate sliders - one for humidity and one for the light brightness. By having them as two separate devices, turning on the humidifier does not automatically turn the light on. This is helpful as my office functions as a second bedroom as well, and its nice to have the mood light off while the humidifier functions at night.I personally do not like scented "diffusers", and prefer just straight-up humidifiers, so that's how I'm choosing to use this device. As a humidifier it functions very well and I love how easy it is to pop off the top and replenish the water and clean it - no awkward hugging of the device to twist off its top while spilling water everywhere.If you have a "dumb" humidifier, it's time to upgrade!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this item a few days ago and have had it running pretty much since I got it set up. I have a HomeKit environment as well as a google environment in my home. Both apps, Home and Google Home work very well with this. They both give separate options for the mood light and the diffuser which allows control of each independently which is a great touch. The mood light color is a great diffused glow in the daytime and bright enough for a good mood setting at night with few or no other lights on. It has many effects you can choose through the VOCOlinc app for the lighting as well. Currently, I have switched to red and green for Christmas 😉 The diffuser puts out a good amount of vapor for the size of the device. In any of the apps I have listed, I am able to change the percent of humidity to raise to. This time of year (winter) it runs non stop though here in the Midwestern United States. The VOCOlinc app also sends me a notification when the water is low and turns off the diffuser, but leaves the mood light on, which is super handy. Won’t burn out the pump/motor. It keeps the mood! Overall I would give this device 4.9 stars if that rating was available. Only things I would like to see are better color/scene control in the HomeKit app and a notification from my HomeKit app for low water versus having to get one from their own app, but these are very minor things. I have not used any essential oils in thi tank yet but plan too in the future. I am very satisfied with this purchase and with the other VOCOlinc products I already own.

The media could not be loaded. The Vocolinc FlowerBud Diffuser is an overall great product. It can hold a large amount of water and diffuse for hours with a nice scent by adding essential oils. It works fast and well with HomeKit and, displaying controls for desired humidity, colors, and brightness. The overall quality of the product is great and the design is clean.With that said, there are a few improvements I can foresee. I am assuming since Apple limits functionality in the Home app, there are extra settings for colors and amount of vapor that can be found in the app that are not available in the Home app, but that may be out of the developers’ control. Fortunately, there are some third party apps such as Eve (free), HomeKit Controller (paid), and others that can see some hidden settings/parameters and can be used for HomeKit automations and scenes.The power port is found on the bottom of the diffuser, making it extremely difficult to plug it in if there is water inside, I would prefer it on the back so I can plug it in without picking it up. However, I can get around this by just filling it up with a cup of water and not moving it.Lastly, this is just personal preference, but although the design of the FlowerBud is made to resemble a flower, maybe I would like to see either this or another diffuser model in the same shape but have the whole top of the diffuser be transparent with color and only the base white. This would add more color to the whole diffuser.
