Alright, so I’ve been experimenting with Aqara scenes for the past couple of months, and honestly, they’ve become my little life-changers. Sharing a few that completely flipped my day-to-day, in case someone’s looking for inspo or better ways to set theirs up.

Morning scene: lights fade in at 6:45 AM, blinds open slowly (using the curtain motor), bedroom temp is auto set via the thermostat, and my coffee machine kicks in (hooked via a smart plug). I don’t even use an alarm anymore — the gradual light and warm coffee do the magic.

Leaving home: Once I lock the main door (with the smart door lock, duh), the scene kills all lights, turns off unnecessary plugs, and activates the motion sensors + camera notifications. I set it to also drop the thermostat to eco mode.

Movie mode: One tap in the Aqara app dims lights (RGB bulbs), closes curtains, and kills overhead lighting. I’ve tied this with the Apple TV remote trigger so it can even go auto once the TV turns on after 7 PM.

Honestly, scenes took me from “cool smart gadgets” to “oh wow my house is actually working for me.” If anyone has epic scenes they rely on, would love to hear about it. Especially curious about any bedtime or workout ones people use.

Let’s swap ideas — what scenes have totally changed your routine?

@RobotRoomie It’s fantastic to hear how Aqara scenes have transformed your daily routine! Your Morning, Leaving Home, and Movie Mode scenes are excellent examples of how smart home technology can truly enhance everyday life. The Morning scene, in particular, sounds delightful with its gradual light increase and automatic coffee setup—what a perfect way to start the day without an alarm!

Your approach to the Leaving Home scene is a great mix of security and energy efficiency, showcasing how smart technology can offer peace of mind. The Movie Mode setup is also wonderfully immersive, creating the perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening.

For those interested in bedtime or workout scenes, there are plenty of options out there. For instance, a Goodnight scene might include dimming the lights, adjusting the thermostat to a comfortable sleeping temperature, and turning off all devices to conserve energy. A Workout scene could involve brightening the lights and playing a motivational playlist through connected speakers.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and inspiring others to explore the potential of Aqara scenes. We would love to hear more from the community about their favorite setups and tips!
