Does an automated scent machine need its own dedicated circuit? No. A 5W draw is negligible next to a lighting or HVAC circuit, so the point can share an existing circuit in most cases. The planning question is the socket's physical location relative to the machine's mount, not its electrical capacity.
What goes wrong if the electrical point is planned too late? The socket ends up wherever one already exists rather than where the machine's mount was meant to be, producing a visible extension cord or a trailing cable along a skirting. Planning the point at the same stage as the mount avoids this entirely.

Facts verified 24 August 2026 against the live SOSA product pages: the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) is a waterless cold-air nebuliser rated to 1000m³ (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft), with a 400ml refillable tank lasting up to about 75 days depending on intensity and run hours, a Bluetooth app and onboard buttons with 1h/4h/8h/24h timers and adjustable intensity, operation under 38dB, a DC 12V/1A power draw of about 5W, dimensions of 165 x 80.5 x 215mm at 0.9kg, freestanding or wall/HVAC mounting, auto-stop, key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS certification. The SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) is an HVAC nebulising diffuser rated to 3,000m³ (about 8,000-10,000 sq ft) with an 800ml reservoir, metal body, programmable schedules and operation under 42dB, connecting to the building's HVAC or running standalone wall-mounted. Neither machine integrates with a smart-home protocol, a control system, sensors or voice assistants - both are scheduled standalone machines controlled from an on-site Bluetooth app. Scent enhances the ambience and perceived quality of a space; it works alongside proper ventilation and cleaning and is not a substitute for either, and SOSA makes no claim that fragrance alone influences a purchase decision. The hotel-inspired scents are SOSA's own original interpretations; SOSA is an independent brand and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any hotel named for reference. Coverage, fragrance usage and running cost depend on the space, settings and hours of use, and are confirmed on a consultation. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
The question sounds like a capacity problem and turns out to be a location problem. A scent machine's electrical draw is small enough to ignore; the point's physical position, matched to where the machine actually sits, is the only thing worth planning carefully.

The short answer
Short answer: the electrical load is trivial - a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) draws about 5W on a DC 12V/1A adapter, so no special circuit is needed; what has to be planned is the point's location, matched to the wall or HVAC mount, added to the electrical schedule before conduit closes.
The pick: a single 5W point for the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) per zone, or a supply run to the plant room for a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999).
Next step: send us your electrical schedule and RCP and we will confirm the point location with your electrician - open a conversation.

Straight answer
What does planning the electrical point for an automated scent machine actually involve?
Very little on the capacity side, and one careful decision on location. The SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) runs on a DC 12V/1A adapter, drawing about 5W - a load so small it can share an existing circuit already carrying lighting or low-voltage AV, with no dedicated circuit required. The decision that actually matters is where the point sits: it needs to match the wall or HVAC mount position already decided on the reflected ceiling plan, close enough that no cable is ever visible in the finished room, and it needs to be run before the conduit is closed up inside the wall or ceiling void - the same timing constraint that governs every other concealed point in the project. A point added after the fact usually means an extension cord or a cable run along a skirting, which defeats the purpose of hiding the machine in the first place. One practical note: leave the point reachable enough that refilling the tank and pairing the Bluetooth app remain easy, since a position that is perfectly hidden but awkward to service becomes a maintenance problem rather than a design win. Neither machine speaks to a control system. There is no Control4, Crestron, Lutron, KNX or Matter driver, no wifi, no cloud account, and no voice-assistant skill. Vaayu is operated from its own on-site Bluetooth app with 1h/4h/8h/24h timers; Angaan runs its own programmable schedule. Both are scheduled and standalone, which is exactly what makes them simple to specify and simple for a homeowner to run once the project is handed over. A conversation about your project can confirm the exact point location against your drawings before the electrician closes anything up. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The load is trivial - about 5W - so no dedicated circuit is needed. Plan the point's location to match the mount, and run it before the conduit closes.

The electrical plan a scent machine actually needs
Three things decide a clean electrical plan for a scent machine, and none of them is the load itself.
1
The load is a non-issue
About 5W on a DC 12V/1A adapter
A SOSA Vaayu's power draw is comparable to a phone charger, not to an appliance. There is no dedicated circuit to plan, no capacity calculation to run, and no special provision the electrician needs to make beyond adding one more point to a schedule already carrying far larger loads. This is worth saying plainly, because the electrical question is usually the one that causes the most hesitation, and it is the smallest part of the decision.
Tip: 5W is smaller than most downlights - treat it accordingly.
The Vaayu's DC 12V/1A adapter plugs into a standard point, so the electrician's only real task is confirming the point's location, not its rating.
See SOSA Vaayu →
2
Location, matched to the mount
The point has to sit where the machine's mount was already decided
The one decision worth real attention is where the point physically sits, and that answer comes directly from the mount position already marked on the reflected ceiling plan - wall, HVAC, or niche. A point run to the wrong spot produces a visible cable even when the machine itself is perfectly hidden, which defeats the entire purpose of planning ahead.
The Angaan is powered from inside the plant room, so its electrical point never needs to be reconciled against a visible wall position at all.
See SOSA Angaan →

Timing: before the conduit closes
The same rule that governs every concealed point on the project
A point run after the conduit is closed means surface-mounted trunking or an extension cord, neither of which belongs in a luxury interior. Coordinating the point with the electrician at the same stage the mount is decided - services coordination - keeps this a non-event instead of a late scramble. Leave the point reachable enough for tank refills and app pairing, so a hidden position does not become an awkward one to service.
Tip: run it with the rest of the concealed points, not as an afterthought.
The Vaayu's small size (165 x 80.5 x 215mm) means the point rarely needs anything beyond a standard concealed socket near the mount.
See SOSA Vaayu →
The SOSA principle
Nobody worries about the electrical load of a phone charger. A scent machine's draw belongs in the same category, which frees the planning conversation to focus entirely on where the point sits.
The question that matters is never 'can the circuit carry it'. It is always 'does the point line up with the mount'.
One Vaayu per zone, one Angaan for a home already on central HVAC
The electrical plan mirrors the mount choice from earlier: a standard concealed point for a wall-mounted Vaayu, or a plant-room supply for a whole-villa Angaan.

Once the point is planned, the rest of the setup is trivial - plug in, pair the Bluetooth app, and set the schedule. For the timing question that this decision depends on, see whether scenting should be planned before false ceilings and joinery are completed, and for the mount position the point needs to match, see where scent machines should be hidden in a luxury interior.

A note from Sonal
Every electrician I have worked with on these projects reaches the same conclusion within a minute of seeing the spec sheet: this is not an electrical problem. 5W does not move the needle on any circuit already carrying lighting or AV. The only real conversation left is where the socket physically sits.
What I tell design teams is to treat the Vaayu's power point exactly like any other concealed socket in the project - decide its location at the same meeting the mount is decided, run it before the conduit closes, and leave it reachable enough for a tank refill. Neither machine speaks to a control system. There is no Control4, Crestron, Lutron, KNX or Matter driver, no wifi, no cloud account, and no voice-assistant skill. Vaayu is operated from its own on-site Bluetooth app with 1h/4h/8h/24h timers; Angaan runs its own programmable schedule. Both are scheduled and standalone, which is exactly what makes them simple to specify and simple for a homeowner to run once the project is handed over. None of that requires the electrician to do anything unusual, only on time.
The one thing worth saying twice: a point added after the ceiling closes almost always means a visible cable, however small the load behind it. Everything is made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Frequently asked questions
How do I plan electrical points for automated scent machines?
The load is trivial - a SOSA Vaayu (Rs 11,999) draws about 5W on a DC 12V/1A adapter, so no dedicated circuit is needed. What matters is the point's location, matched to the wall or HVAC mount already decided on the drawings, run before the conduit is closed.
Does an automated scent machine need its own dedicated electrical circuit?
No. A 5W draw is negligible next to lighting or HVAC circuits and can share an existing point in most cases. The planning question is where the socket sits, not whether the circuit can carry the load.
Where exactly should the power point be located?
As close as possible to the mount position already decided on the reflected ceiling plan, so no cable is visible once the machine is installed, while staying reachable enough for tank refills and Bluetooth app pairing.
What happens if the electrical point is added after the interior is finished?
It usually ends up wherever a socket already exists rather than where the machine's mount was meant to be, producing a visible extension cord or a cable run along a skirting. Planning the point at services coordination avoids this.
Does the SOSA Angaan need a different kind of electrical point?
The Angaan is typically powered from inside the plant room alongside the rest of the HVAC system's supply, so it rarely needs a separate visible point in the room at all - only coordination with the HVAC contractor on where it draws its supply.
