Hi everyone, I’m new to the smart home scene and I’m really excited to dive into some automation projects! I’ve been thinking about setting up a bedtime routine that’s both convenient and energy-efficient. Here’s what I have in mind:
I want to create a scene where, when I say, “Alexa, it’s time for bed,” the following happens:
- The living room lights dim gradually.
- The TV turns off after a short delay.
- A timer starts, ensuring everything turns off completely after 30 minutes.
I’ve got a few devices in mind for this setup:
- A smart plug for the TV.
- Philips Hue bulbs for the living room lights.
- A compatible smart speaker to handle the voice commands.
My main question is: How can I ensure the timer works seamlessly with the lights and TV? I don’t want anything to interfere with the automation once it’s set. Also, I’d love to hear if anyone has experience with similar setups or any tips for making this smoother!
This project feels like a great way to start exploring the capabilities of my smart home system. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
Cheers, [Your Name]
