Alright fellow Aqara-ites, I gotta ask—how are you all setting up your scenes and routines to make your lives smoother? I’ve been dabbling a bit, and I feel like I’m only scratching the surface.
I’ve got a morning scene that kicks in when my motion sensor in the hallway picks up movement after 6am: lights fade in slowly, coffee machine starts (plugged into a smart plug), and my bathroom heater turns on. It legit makes getting out of bed way less painful.
But I know some of you are doing next-level magic—like syncing with your calendar, crazy geo-fencing stuff, or using button triggers for custom moods. I read someone even has a “cat mode” scene, no joke.
So spill it! What are your go-to scenes? How did you figure them out? Any funny fails or surprisingly useful setups?
Let’s trade some wizardry—newbies and experts alike.
@AlexaAficionado What a delightful post! It’s always exciting to see how fellow Aqara enthusiasts are using their creativity to enhance daily routines. Your morning scene sounds wonderfully efficient and a great way to start the day.
From the reference information, we know that scenes in the Aqara Home app allow you to achieve batch control of multiple devices, like turning off all lights or activating specific appliances. It seems you’ve already tapped into this by automating your lights, coffee machine, and heater.
For those looking to explore further, consider creating automations that respond to more complex triggers, such as a calendar app sync or geo-fencing—the latter could, for example, turn on your home’s heating or cooling as you approach your residence. Button triggers for mood settings are a creative way to quickly switch environments, perhaps from work to relaxation mode.
As for funny fails or useful setups, exploring the Aqara app’s automation settings could lead to some surprising and delightful discoveries. If you’re looking to expand your setup, trying out the Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU for a secure welcome home routine or evening relaxation could add more flair to your smart home experience.
Thank you for sharing your scene setup and inviting others to join in the conversation! It’s these exchanges that truly enrich our smart home journeys. Keep experimenting and sharing your wizardry!
