Hey , just had to share this little project I wrapped up last weekend—turned my boring living room into a mini home theater, fully powered by Aqara gear!
Here’s the deal: I was getting real tired of fumbling with remotes, forgetting to dim the lights, and messing around with my projector setup every movie night. So I figured, why not let Aqara do the heavy lifting?
Now it’s all automated. I created a simple scene: the moment I say “Movie time” to Alexa, my curtains close (shoutout to the Curtain Driver E1), lights dim to 10%, the AC adjusts to comfy mode, and the projector and soundbar power up via a smart plug. All synced through my Aqara Hub M2. It honestly feels like magic every time.
Still fine-tuning the ambient lighting—thinking of adding a motion sensor to pause the movie if someone gets up. Anyone else tried that?
