From Novice to Aqara Ninja: Sharing My Top Automation Hacks

Automation Inspirations

Hey , Share how I went from totally clueless to feeling like a smart home wizard with Aqara over the past year. I started with one sensor and now… let’s just say my lights, curtains, and even coffee machine know what I want before I do.

One of my fav setups: when my door sensor triggers after 6 PM, the hallway lights fade in, AC kicks to 24°C, and soft music starts playing in the living room. Super welcoming after a long day.

Also… bathroom hack! Motion sensor + humidity sensor = auto exhaust fan when someone takes a shower. Zero foggy mirrors.

Biggest lesson? Don’t rush into automating everything at once. Test, tweak, then go big. Also, scenes > individual device control every time.

Anyone else got some cool automations? Always looking for inspiration!
