The sleep timer button allows you to scroll through the time options. When you set a time, the Dyson air purifier switches itself off after the time has elapsed.
In night mode, the unit monitors your air quality and room temperature. However, the air purifier works in a particularly quiet fan setting (level 1-4). In addition, the display lighting is dimmed to ensure a peaceful sleep. 💤

The user-friendliness of the app is in the foreground. Despite the many possibilities, Dyson has managed to keep the app clear.
Air quality display in the Dyson Link app
The interface for displaying the air quality is nicely designed in the form of a house.
Here you get all the information about the air quality in your home. Thanks to the WiFi connection, the app also receives current details about the air quality in your home. 🙏
Depending on where you live, the air quality outside can be worrying, but thanks to the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool air purifier, your four walls are usually in the green :)
![The Dyson Link app shows various data on air quality in the living room and outside the home.]()
If you "click" on one of the values, you will get information about the individual values that the Dyson air purifier measures in the home in real-time.
With this information, you will soon be an expert on good air quality.
The state of the filters in the Dyson Link app
You can view the condition of the filters and the service life of the filter units in the filter management. You can also find out which filters are installed in your air purifier. 👍

Timer function and timer scheduling
The timer function is very useful in an organised and routine household. A well-designed weekly timer is also a great advantage in an office or business.
You can select a suitable programme for every day and every time. The air purifier then does its work and switches off automatically when the timer expires. ⏲
![The timer overview in the Dyson Link app]()
Several different plans can also be set for one day.
You can select a desired temperature in the timer plan. The air purifier automatically preheats your office room with clean air before entering the room. This can be very practical and energy-saving in winter! 🌱
![The programme with weekday, time and function in the Dyson Link app, and the simple timer function.]()
The simple timer function can also be used in a much-simplified form. You can simply set a timer. After the set time has elapsed, the smart air purifier switches itself off.
The remote control of the air purifier via the Dyson Link App
The air purifier can be completely controlled with the app. You can also find all functions on the remote control in the app's control function.
The individual functions are provided with a pictorial representation of the Dyson air purifier to make it clearer.

You can completely customise the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool air purifier rotation via the app. 💅
To do this, you have to turn the angle of the rotational movement as you need it.
For example, it allows us to rotate the airflow over our large couch with pinpoint accuracy. So we can enjoy the movie night with a cool breeze of clean air even in the height of a UK summer 🌞

We enjoyed the Dyson Link app during our test. In our experience, it was one of the most user-friendly apps we have tested so far.
The animations and designs are lovingly created and appear visually modern but not overloaded or obtrusive.
All functions are given in their entirety. In addition, the air quality data is presented, and the statistics are very informative. 👀
With the programming of timers, the air purifier can be optimally adjusted to your daily needs.
We didn’t find any problems with the software in our review.
Voice control with Alexa and Siri
Currently, the voice control for the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool air purifier can only be used with Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. However, we have tested the voice control functions with Alexa and Siri.

The voice control for the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool was, in our experience, the best we have tested so far. 💪
