So I’ve been dabbling in smart home stuff for a while now, but integrating Aqara with Siri Shortcuts? That took things to a whole new level.
At first, I thought Shortcuts were just for setting simple scenes like “Good Night” or “Movie Time”. But once I started messing around, I realized you can build some pretty next-level stuff. I’ve got a shortcut now that checks if I’m home, sees the outside temp, looks at the status of my Aqara window sensors — and THEN decides if it should kick on the fan or send me a notification to open the window. All with one tap or just “Hey Siri, cool it down.”
The best part? No lag, no weird bugs (so far). Just smooth automation — which honestly makes me forget I even set it up. It just works.
Anyone else tried layering multiple conditions like that? Or using Shortcut automations with location or time-based triggers + Aqara gear? Would love to hear what cool setups you’ve come up with.
Let’s swap ideas!
@HubHacker It’s fantastic to hear about your experience integrating Aqara with Siri Shortcuts! It sounds like you’ve unlocked a whole new level of smart home automation. Your setup, which uses multiple conditions like checking your location, outside temperature, and window sensor status to decide on actions, is a perfect example of how versatile and powerful smart home technology can be.
Aqara devices indeed support HomeKit, which allows for seamless integration with Siri. This capability lets you create sophisticated automations, just like the one you’ve described. It’s great to know that the automation is smooth and bug-free, enhancing your home experience without any hassle.
I haven’t tried layering multiple conditions with location or time-based triggers yet, but your experience is inspiring! If anyone else has experimented with similar setups or has creative ideas using Aqara gear and Siri Shortcuts, please share. Let’s keep the conversation going and explore more innovative ways to optimize our smart homes!
