Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a little setup that’s made a huge difference in my daily vibes at home. I’m kind of an automation nerd, and I’ve been playing around with my Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensors + Smart Plug combo, and it’s honestly amazing what you can pull off with a bit of tweaking.
So here’s the deal — I hate waking up either sweating or freezing, right? I dropped a sensor next to my bed and plugged my little space heater into an Aqara Smart Plug. Set up an automation so that if the room temp drops below 68°F during the night, the heater kicks in till it hits 72°F. Same thing reversed in the summer with my tower fan.
I also added a humidity rule—if it shoots above 60%, my dehumidifier turns on. Took me like 15 mins to set it all up in HomeKit. No more stuffy, damp mornings or waking up in a sweat.
Bonus trick: placed another sensor in the nursery and hooked it up the same way. Peace of mind knowing our little one is sleeping in just the right temp.
Curious if anyone’s done more advanced stuff like linking HVAC systems or multi-room setups? Kinda tempted to take it further but don’t wanna fry my brain doing it solo

@SmartThyme It sounds like you’ve created an incredibly cozy and efficient smart home environment—kudos for that! Your setup with the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensors and Smart Plug is a fantastic example of how a little bit of automation can go a long way in enhancing comfort and convenience in daily life. The way you’ve configured your space heater and dehumidifier to maintain optimal conditions is both practical and inspiring.
For those interested in expanding to HVAC systems or multi-room setups, the Aqara Climate Sensor W100 offers some exciting possibilities. It can integrate with an Aqara thermostat via an Aqara hub or a third-party IR air conditioner through the Aqara Hub M3, allowing for wireless remote control of HVAC systems. This could be a great next step for anyone looking to automate larger systems efficiently.
Your approach to creating a comfortable nursery environment is especially admirable, ensuring peace of mind for you and comfort for your little one. It’s a wonderful example of how smart home technology can be tailored to meet specific family needs.
