So I recently started playing around with Aqara scene settings and honestly… why didn’t I do this earlier?
I’m still kinda new to the smart home world (picked up my first devices just 4 months ago), but setting up a custom morning routine has made getting out of bed way less painful. Thought I’d share what I’ve done in case anyone’s looking for simple ways to add more “smart” to their mornings.
At 7AM, my Aqara Motion Sensor detects movement, my bedside plug turns on the diffuser (hello eucalyptus), and the curtains open slightly with the curtain driver — just enough to let the light in without blinding me. Then a 5-min delay triggers the smart plug for my coffee maker. Yep, coffee ready by the time I hit the kitchen.
Also, I use my Door and Window Sensor on the bedroom door. Once it opens after 7:05AM, it turns off my bedroom lights and starts the warm lights in the kitchen. Feels like the house is slowly waking up with me.
It’s nothing crazy, but the vibe and flow are so much nicer now. Anyone else playing with scenes? Would love to hear some cool/quirky setups people have done. Especially ones involving music or HVAC control — still trying to figure that part out.
