Consumer Mobile App: Changing Device Operating Modes

Modified on Fri, 24 Apr at 7:45 AM

This article explains how to change your Aura Air device's operating mode from the app, what each mode does, and how to set a schedule so your device switches modes automatically.

Operating Modes

The Aura Air app offers five operating modes. Each mode controls how hard your device's fan works and how quickly it cleans the air.

Mode	What It Does	Best For
✦ Auto Mode	The device monitors air quality in real time and adjusts fan speed automatically. No manual input needed.	Everyday use — recommended for most users.
☽ Quiet Mode	Runs the fan at its lowest speed for near-silent operation.	Sleeping, working, or any time you need a quiet environment.
≋ Regular Mode	Operates at a standard, balanced fan speed for consistent purification.	Daily use when Auto Mode is not preferred.
⚡ Maximized (Turbo)	Runs the fan at full power for the fastest possible air cleaning.	High-pollution events, cooking odors, or after guests leave.
⏻ Power Off	Turns the device off completely. The device card will show N/A for AQI.	When the device is not needed.

? Auto Mode is recommended for most situations. The device will speed up automatically when it detects poor air quality and slow down when the air is clean.

Setting a Mode Schedule

You can set a schedule so your device switches modes automatically at specific times — for example, switching to Quiet Mode at bedtime and back to Auto Mode in the morning.

How to Set a Schedule

On the Home screen, tap the gear icon or long-press your device card.
Tap Schedule mode from the menu.
On the Aura Schedule screen, set your Start and End times.
Select the Mode you want the device to run during the scheduled period: Quiet, Regular, Maximized, or Off.
Optionally, toggle Aura LED on if you want the ambient light to activate during the scheduled period.
Tap Confirm Schedule to save.

? A common schedule: Quiet Mode from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM for silent overnight purification, with Auto Mode running during the day.

? You can disable the schedule temporarily using the toggle in the device Settings without deleting it.
