Hey all
I’d like to share with you my setup of an alarm system at home.
It uses several aqara devices - heart of the system are motion sensor, door sensors, smart lock and thermostats.
Once everyone leave home and motion sensor does not detect any movement, sytsem lowers the temperature at home, starts cleaning the floor, turns off all the lights (forgot to mention that!), closes the smart lock, turns off aircondition and turns on security camera - all of that with notifications to my mobile.
Then it monitors doors and movement sensor and in case something is detected - it notifies me and sends me a video clip from camera.
When a householder is back home, alarm automatically disarms and actions are withdrawn - camera is turned off, cleaning robot goes to the docking station, temperatures are set to the previous values.
Let me know if you have any idea how to improve the system!

@aqara241 Hey Mariusz, thanks so much for sharing your home alarm system setup—it sounds really well thought out! It’s awesome to see how you’ve integrated multiple Aqara devices (motion sensors, door sensors, smart locks, thermostats, and even the cleaning robot/lights) into such a seamless automation flow. The way the system adjusts temperatures, secures the home, and triggers alerts when everyone leaves, then reverses those actions upon return, is super practical and inspiring for others looking to build similar setups.
Your detailed breakdown makes it easy to visualize how all the pieces work together, and the video must be a great demo too! If others in the community have ideas for tweaks or extra features (like maybe adding window sensors for extra security, or integrating with voice assistants for manual overrides), feel free to chime in—Mariusz would probably love the brainstorming. Thanks again for contributing—sharing real-world setups like this is what helps everyone get more out of their Aqara devices!
