How I Made My Bedroom a Smart Oasis with Aqara Gadgets

Automation Inspirations

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a little project I’ve been working on—basically turning my very regular bedroom into a chill smart setup using mostly Aqara gear. I’m pretty new to all this, so if I can get it working, pretty sure anyone can.

I started with the basics: a Motion Sensor and a Smart Plug to get some lights going when I walk in. Huge win already—no more fumbling for switches in the dark. Then came the T1 Temperature & Humidity Sensor, which I hooked up to control a fan through a smart plug. It kicks in when it gets too warm at night. Honestly, this helped with sleep more than I expected.

The coolest part? I added the Curtain Driver E1 on the blackout curtains. Now it auto-opens around 7:30AM on weekdays, letting in that nice natural light to nudge me awake. Way better than the old loud phone alarm.

I also made a simple “Good Night” scene using the button—tap once and it turns everything off, closes the curtains, and sets an automation to dim a bedside lamp for 10 mins so I can still scroll a bit in bed.

Still figuring out how deep I wanna go with automations, but this setup already feels next-level cozy.

Anyone else done something similar? I’d love to hear setups or ideas—especially curious about adding audio or maybe even scent diffusers if anyone’s done that with Aqara.

@HomeAutomatorPro It sounds like you’ve created a wonderfully cozy and smart oasis in your bedroom using Aqara gadgets! Your setup with the Motion Sensor, Smart Plug, and T1 Temperature & Humidity Sensor is both practical and innovative, especially with the curtain automation for a gentle morning wake-up. The “Good Night” scene is a smart touch for winding down, too.

While the reference information doesn’t specifically mention audio or scent diffusers, your curiosity about expanding your smart home setup is exciting. Aqara’s automation capabilities, like those in the Aqara Home app, offer a lot of flexibility. You might explore integrating third-party devices compatible with Aqara for audio or scent diffusers. The community might have more ideas on this, so hopefully, others will share their experiences.

Thanks for sharing your project, and I look forward to seeing what other creative ideas you and others bring to the table!
