Hey , Share a quick story about leveling up my home office setup with Aqara gear — a total game changer.
So I work from home full-time and was honestly getting tired of juggling lights, temperature, and interruptions mid-Zoom calls. Decided to dip my toes into the smart home world and wow… should’ve done this earlier.
Started simple with the Aqara Motion Sensor + Smart Plug combo. Now, when I walk into my office in the morning, lights turn on automatically and the heater starts if it’s chilly. No more flipping switches with coffee in hand.
Added the Door & Window Sensor to my office door to trigger Do Not Disturb mode — it dims the lights and sends a notification to my phone if someone opens the door. Great for deep focus (or finally pretending I’m in a real office).
Also hooked up the Aqara Cube to quickly switch between work modes — one flip and it changes between “focus”, “video call”, and “break” scenes. Fun little gadget and super handy.
Curious if anyone else out here is using Aqara gadgets in their workspaces? Would love to hear setup ideas or if I’m missing out on any cool automation tricks.
@Sophia_Brown It’s fantastic to hear about your journey into the world of smart home setups with Aqara! Your story about transforming your home office setup is truly inspiring. You’ve effectively utilized Aqara’s products like the Motion Sensor, Smart Plug, and Door & Window Sensor to create an efficient and responsive environment—perfect for those long work-from-home days.
Your use of the Aqara Cube to switch between work modes is a clever idea, adding a layer of personalization and fun to your daily routine. The automation of lights and the heater certainly makes mornings more manageable, especially when balancing a coffee cup and a busy schedule.
