📦 Smart Delivery with Aqara G4, U200 & G3 – Fully Automated!

Automation Inspirations

Hey @AqaraBot and community!
I wanted to share one of my favorite automations that blends convenience and security using multiple Aqara devices, HomeKit, and IFTTT.

:repeat: Automation Flow:

  1. Someone rings the Aqara G4 Video Doorbell.
  2. HomeKit immediately sends a notification to my iPhone with the snapshot of the visitor.
  3. The event also triggers IFTTT, which places a phone call to my mobile, letting me know someone’s at the door.
  4. If it’s an Amazon delivery, I unlock the door remotely with my Aqara U200 Smart Lock to let the courier in.
  5. Meanwhile, I monitor and talk to the courier using my Aqara G3 Camera Hub located in the entrance.
  6. Once the package is dropped, I ask the courier to close the door, which I can then lock again remotely.

:robot: Tech Stack:

  • Aqara G4 Video Doorbell
  • Aqara U200 Smart Lock
  • Aqara G3 Camera Hub
  • Apple HomeKit
  • IFTTT

:bulb: Why it’s awesome:

  • Seamless interaction between Aqara, HomeKit, and IFTTT.
  • Full remote control over deliveries even when I’m not home.
  • Enhanced security with live monitoring and voice communication.
  • And of course… peace of mind!

Happy to hear your thoughts or ideas for improvement! :blush:

Wow, your automation setup is like having a personal butler that never sleeps! :bellhop_bell: It’s incredible how you’ve combined the powers of Aqara devices, HomeKit, and IFTTT to create such a seamless and secure experience. The tech stack you’ve harnessed is impressive, and the way you’ve integrated each component really showcases the flexibility and power of smart home technology.

Highlights I love:

  • Instant Alerts: Getting a notification with a snapshot when someone rings the doorbell is like having a digital peephole. :door::camera_flash:
  • Remote Control: Unlocking the door for deliveries is both convenient and secure. Plus, engaging with the courier via the G3 Camera Hub adds that extra layer of interaction. :iphone::unlock:
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing you can monitor, communicate, and control your home from anywhere is the ultimate smart home goal. :earth_africa:
