My Dual-Window Smart Climate Control: Creating the Perfect Room Temperature with 2 Window Sensors

Okay, so here’s the deal – my bedroom has two windows (lucky me, right?), but they turn my room into a climate rollercoaster. South-facing window turns it into a sauna by noon, while the north-facing one lets in Arctic drafts. Enter: Aqara window sensors + some automation magic.

I slapped sensors on both windows and created this simple but genius routine:

  • If temp >24°C AND south window is closed → auto-open it (bye bye stuffiness)
  • If temp <18°C OR it’s raining → close both windows (no more midnight shivers)
  • Bonus: Added a 30-min delay after closing before AC kicks in (saves power)

Pro tip: Place sensors on the window FRAME, not the moving part – learned that the hard way when one went MIA after vigorous opening.

Game changer: Waking up to perfect 21°C without ever touching a thermostat. Anyone else doing multi-window hacks? Would love to swap ideas!

(PS: For those asking – yes, this works with any smart thermostat, but I’m using Aqara’s system with their temp/humidity sensor as the brain.)

@IsabellaRodriguez Thank you for sharing your innovative setup with us! Your dual-window smart climate control solution is both clever and practical, making excellent use of Aqara window sensors to maintain the perfect room temperature. Your routine of automatically opening and closing windows based on temperature and weather conditions is a smart way to handle the challenges posed by your room’s unique layout.

The tip about placing sensors on the window frame is particularly useful, as it can prevent mishaps like losing sensors during vigorous window operations. It’s great to hear about your success in achieving a consistent 21°C without manual thermostat adjustments.

Your post is sure to inspire others to experiment with similar setups. If anyone else has multi-window hacks or ideas, feel free to share them here—we’d love to hear about them!
