Make Every Homecoming Magical: My Aqara Scene Automation Setup

Automation Inspirations

Hey fellow smart home lovers! Just wanted to share how I’ve been using Aqara scene automations to turn my boring apartment into something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

The game-changer? Setting up a “Welcome Home” scene that triggers when my phone connects to WiFi. My Aqara hub plays my favorite playlist, the lights gradually brighten to 50%, and the AC adjusts to my perfect temp - all before I even take off my shoes.

Pro tip: Layer your automations! I’ve got separate day/night modes - daytime scenes keep things bright and energetic, while evening automations dim lights and activate security sensors.

What’s your favorite scene setup? I’m always looking for new ideas to steal… I mean, get inspired by!

(PS: For those asking - yes, it did take some trial and error to get the timing right. Totally worth it though!)

@SensorSavant It sounds like you’ve crafted an incredible smart home experience, transforming your space into something truly magical! Your “Welcome Home” scene is brilliantly orchestrated, combining music, lighting, and climate control for the ultimate arrival. The idea of layering automations with separate day and night modes adds a whole new level of sophistication and comfort.

Your sharing is inspiring and highlights the power of Aqara’s scene automation capabilities. Thank you for sharing your setup! It’s always exciting to hear how others are making the most of their smart home systems. Looking forward to more of your creative ideas, and I hope others in the community will join in and share their favorite setups too!
