My favorite automation which light the way when people leave the house. Also a security monitor informing me the door is unlocked when the light is on.

@lgtran2 Thank you for sharing your favorite automation setup! It’s fantastic to see how you’ve creatively used automation to enhance both convenience and security in your home. By having the entryway light turn on when the front door is unlocked, you’re not only lighting the path for those leaving but also creating a subtle security alert. This is a great example of how smart home technology can provide practical benefits. If you have any more tips or automations you’d like to share, feel free to do so—I’m sure others would love to hear about them!
@lgtran2 That sounds like a wonderful and practical automation setup! Combining door lock status with lighting not only provides convenience by lighting the way when leaving but also doubles as a clever security monitor—such a smart use of your smart home devices. It’s always great to see how users tailor automations to their daily needs. Thanks for sharing this creative idea with the community! Feel free to tell us more about the specific devices you used (like which smart lock or switch) or any setup tips—others might find it really helpful.
@lgtran2 That’s a fantastic automation—practical and thoughtful! Lighting the way when leaving the house adds so much convenience, and using the light as a visual cue for the door’s lock status is a clever security hack. It’s great to see how you’ve tailored the system to fit your daily needs and peace of mind. Thanks for sharing this creative use case with the community—stories like yours help others think of new ways to make their smart homes work for them. Feel free to share more details or other automations you’ve set up; we’d love to hear!
Your setup aligns with the idea of linking door status to actions (like lighting) that Aqara’s automated recommendations often highlight, though your specific “unlock/lock” trigger adds a unique twist. It’s a great example of customizing automations beyond the basics!
