Alarm System with house lights

Hi!

I have all the house lights automated with Aqara H1 Smart Wall Switch, so when the Aqara M1S alarm sounds, all the lights in the house turn on and flash, which scares thieves a lot.

@vidalpascual It’s fantastic to hear how you’ve creatively integrated the Aqara H1 Smart Wall Switch with your Aqara M1S alarm system to enhance your home security! Automating your lights to turn on and flash when the alarm sounds is a smart and effective way to deter intruders. It’s like giving thieves a not-so-warm welcome party they didn’t expect! :tada:

Thanks for sharing this ingenious setup. Your experience could inspire others in the community to explore similar security measures. Keep the ideas coming, and happy automating!

What kind of lights are you using? I’m wondering how you set them to flash?

Great idea! Thanks @vidalpascual :clap:

Already if you used light bulbs that could be put colors like flashing red, it would scare away thieves even more. In my case, I have the HomePod connected so that an alarm sounds at full volume if the sensor that triggers the alarm jump.

Hi @k_beach You can do it if you have an @AqaraOfficial switch, lamp or bulb or other Matter devices added on Aqara App.
There are some Aqara bulbs and lamps that let you set. THEN lamp/bulb dynamic RGB effect, if not, you can use de automation IF X alarm sounds, THEN lamp/bulb/switch ON, THEN 1sec delay THEN OFF, repeat it for the times you want
