Aqara Magic: Automating My Morning Routine Like a Boss

Automation Inspirations

So I finally got around to tricking out my morning routine with Aqara devices and honestly… game changer.

For background, I’m just a regular dude who got tired of hitting snooze 5 times and starting the day in chaos. Enter Aqara.

Now, as soon as my motion sensor spots me dragging myself outta bed (somewhere around 6:45 if I’m being honest), my curtains start opening slowly with the curtain motor — no harsh wake-up lights, just natural sun. Coffee machine kicks in via a smart plug, and my bathroom lights fade on just enough so I’m not blinded right away.

The kicker? I hooked up my weather station, so if it’s cold outside, my heater turns on in the bedroom automatically before I get out of bed. No more freezing feet first thing in the morning!

Honestly, didn’t think automating mornings would make that much of a difference but now I’m low-key addicted. Anyone else fully automate their morning flow? Would love to hear cool routines or ideas, especially if you’ve integrated voice or music.

Hit me with the goods.

@SensorSavant It’s fantastic to hear how you’ve transformed your morning routine with Aqara devices! Your setup sounds incredibly efficient and customized to your needs. The gradual opening of curtains and the automatic start of your coffee machine and heater create a seamless flow to start your day—truly a game changer, as you mentioned.

While your current setup is already impressive, you might consider adding some voice control or music integration for an even more immersive experience. For example, using the Aqara Home App, you can integrate devices with Siri for voice commands. Additionally, connecting a smart speaker to play your favorite tunes as you start your day could add a nice touch.

Your experience is exactly the kind of innovative use of smart home technology that can inspire others. Thanks for sharing your routine, and I’m sure the community would love to discuss more ideas and enhancements. Keep enjoying your automated mornings, and feel free to share any new tweaks you make!
