Hey all
this is pretty neat automation but on the other hand - not that complicated. Since I have two aircondition units at home, for each of them I created an automation that triggers when particular balcony doors are being opened for 10 minutes. In case that happens and aircondition is running - it turns it off and announces turning it off via the home speaker, so everyone at home is aware.

@aqara241 Hi Mariusz! Thanks a lot for sharing your smart home automation setup—it’s such a practical and energy-saving idea! Turning off the air conditioner when the balcony doors are open for 10 minutes, plus the home speaker announcement, not only helps reduce energy waste but also keeps the whole family informed. It’s great to see how you’ve customized the automation to fit your daily life.
Do you have any other interesting automations you’ve set up with your Aqara devices? Feel free to share more details—we’d all love to get inspired!
