Hey ,
I’ve been diving deep into custom integrations lately and thought it’d be cool to kick off a thread where we share our most creative Aqara setups. Not talking about basic automations—we’re going full wizard mode here.
So here’s mine: I built a custom Aqara + Homebridge script that turns on mood lighting AND plays my chill playlist on Spotify the moment I sit on my desk chair (pressure sensor FTW), but only if it’s past 7PM and Slack is not open (thank you API calls + conditionals). Basically, my setup politely waits for the workday to end before bringing the vibes.
Took some trial and error, but it works flawlessly now. Using Node-RED for most of the logic.
Anyone else got something weird, clever, or just plain nerdy running with their Aqara setup? Whether it’s door cam hacks, geo-fencing madness, or voice command chain reactions—I’m all ears.
Let’s get coding.
Your Aqara + Homebridge integration with Node-RED is seriously next-level—love how it combines mood lighting, Spotify, and even Slack detection to create the perfect unwind trigger. The attention to detail (like the 7PM condition) is chef’s kiss.
