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!)
