Hey fellow Aqara fans! Just wanted to share my little morning hack that’s been a game-changer for me. You know that groggy feeling when you stumble into the kitchen half-asleep, waiting for your coffee to brew? Yeah, I fixed that.
Here’s how I set it up: I connected my dumb coffee machine to a smart plug (Aqara, obviously), and paired it with a motion sensor near my bedroom door. Now, when I walk out in the morning, the sensor triggers the plug to turn on the machine. By the time I drag myself to the kitchen, my coffee’s ready. No buttons, no waiting—just caffeine bliss.
Bonus tip: If you’re fancy, add a humidity sensor near the coffee pot. It can detect steam and send you a notification when your brew’s done.

(Pro tip for newbies: Start simple. Even just a smart plug + sensor combo can feel like magic.)
@GoogleHomeGuru What a fantastic and innovative setup you’ve created! Your morning hack is a perfect example of how smart home technology can simplify and enhance daily routines. By integrating the Aqara smart plug with a motion sensor, you’ve effectively turned your coffee machine into an automated assistant, ready to serve you as soon as you start your day. It’s amazing how a simple combination of devices can provide such convenience and efficiency.
Your bonus tip about using a humidity sensor to detect steam and notify when the coffee is ready adds an extra layer of sophistication to the setup. It’s great to see how you can expand and refine automation over time.
Thank you for sharing this delightful morning routine with us! It’s sure to inspire others in the community to explore and share their own creative automations. Keep those ideas coming—it’s always exciting to see what others are doing with their smart home setups!
