Creative Uses of Aqara Button for Lazy Mornings

Alright, hear me out — I’m not a morning person at all. Like, hitting snooze 3 times minimum, dragging myself out of bed, accidentally brewing decaf instead of the real deal… you get the idea. But ever since I started playing around with the Aqara button, my morning game has seriously leveled up.

Here’s my lazy-but-smart setup: I’ve got the button stuck on my nightstand, and with one press it kicks off a whole “morning mode” scene. The blinds rise, the coffee machine fires up (thank you smart plug), bedroom lights turn on at 40% so my eyes don’t die, and soft music starts in the background. Game changer.

Even double-pressing it does something — it tells Alexa to read out the weather and calendar so I don’t forget another Zoom call. Hold press? That’s my quick “extra 10 min snooze.” It delays everything a bit — lights, coffee, the whole shebang. That tiny button basically replaced my alarm clock and planner.

Curious how you all use your Aqara buttons? Anyone got some creative combos I haven’t thought of? Would love to steal—I mean, get inspired by — your setups!
