Hey fellow Aqara fans! Just wanted to share how I’ve been using automation to make life better for my lazy cat, Whiskers.
So here’s the deal - Whiskers is getting older and sometimes forgets to drink water. I set up an Aqara water leak sensor under his bowl connected to a smart plug for the water fountain. Now when the bowl runs low, it automatically triggers the fountain to refill it. Game changer!
Also wired up a motion sensor near his favorite napping spot to gently turn on a low-wattage heater when he settles in during cold nights. The best part? Everything runs through Aqara’s super reliable system without needing constant app checks.
Anyone else using Aqara for pet care? Would love to swap ideas - maybe we can create a pet lovers automation pack!
