Hey all, just wanted to drop in and share a small win that’s been making a BIG difference for me lately—finally got my Aqara gear dialed in for better climate control and it’s honestly been a game-changer.
Background: I’m living in a mid-sized apartment where certain rooms would either ice me out or turn into saunas depending on the time of day. Super annoying. I had a mix of Aqara temp/humidity sensors, a couple of smart plugs, and an M1S hub lying around, but hadn’t really used them for anything meaningful until recently.
So I finally sat down and set up some automations using the Aqara Home app (and a little help from HomeKit). Now my fan kicks on in the bedroom if it hits above 75°F, or if humidity spikes after a shower, and the air purifier in the living room adjusts depending on both AQI and temp. I even set a scene for nighttime that drops the temp slightly for better sleep vibes—no more waking up sweating or freezing.
It’s not crazy fancy, but man, comfort-wise this setup has made my place feel way more dialed into how I live. I didn’t realize how impactful it’d be until it was already part of my routine.
Curious—anyone else doing climate-based automations? Would love to hear what combos or scenes you’re using. Always down to tweak mine a bit more!
