Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation lately and wanted to share a fun project I’ve been working on! 
I’ve been experimenting with creating a seamless morning routine using my smart devices. The goal? To wake up to a house that’s already prepared for the day—lights gradually turning on, coffee brewing, and even a gentle reminder to start my day. It’s been a fantastic way to start my mornings feeling more relaxed and organized.
Here’s what I’ve set up:
-
Smart Lighting: I’ve programmed my lights to turn on gradually 15 minutes before my alarm goes off. It’s amazing how much better I feel waking up to natural light instead of a sudden, harsh alarm. I’m using a mix of RGBWW bulbs and some smart plugs to control the timing and brightness.
-
Coffee Maker Automation: I’ve connected my coffee maker to my smart hub so that it starts brewing right when my alarm goes off. Nothing beats waking up to the aroma of fresh coffee!
-
Temperature Control: I’ve set my thermostat to slowly increase the temperature in the morning, ensuring the house is warm and cozy by the time I get out of bed.
-
Morning Routine Reminder: I’ve also set up a gentle notification on my phone to remind me to stretch or grab a quick bite before starting my day. It’s all about creating a routine that works for me!
I’d love to hear how others have set up their morning routines! Do you have any tips or tricks that make your mornings smoother? 
Cheers, Chris
