How I Revolutionized My Morning Routine with Aqara Automations

Automation Inspirations

Hey guys, just wanted to share how Aqara basically saved my mornings. I used to be a chronic snoozer… like, 5-6 alarms a day and still rushing out the door with one sock.

So I figured it was time to get smart — literally. I’m still kinda new to home automation, but I set up a few simple automations with my Aqara gear and it completely changed things.

Here’s what happens now:
At 6:45 AM, my bedroom lights start to fade in gently (using the Aqara wall switch with a scene I made), like a fake sunrise. Then my curtain motor opens up around 6:50 to let in the real sunlight — total game changer btw. By 7:00, I get a voice notification from my Aqara hub saying today’s weather + calendar events (connected via Siri Shortcut and HomeKit). And the cherry on top? My coffee machine starts at 7:05 when the kitchen door sensor detects me walking in. Boom :coffee:

I swear, all of this makes waking up 10x easier. No more chaos, just a smooth start and like… adulting pro levels.

Anyone else using Aqara to improve your routines? Would love to hear your setups or steal more ideas.
