Smart Home Automation: A Morning Ritual with Hue, Fakro, and Casambi

I’ve been on a journey to create the perfect smart home setup, and I must say, it’s been an exciting adventure! :star2: I’ve managed to integrate my three Hue bridges, Fakro window blinds using Z-Wave, INternorm windows with I-Tech, and Casambi lighting control into a seamless system. The goal? A single app to handle daily routines and automations. After some research, I’m leaning towards Homey as the central hub, but I’d love to hear if others have had success with it for such a diverse setup. :thinking:

Here’s a quick snapshot of my daily morning ritual, which I’ve automated to perfection:

  • The alarm goes off at 7 AM, and my Hue bulbs gradually brighten to simulate sunrise, gently waking me up.
  • Simultaneously, the Fakro blinds on my bedroom window start opening, letting in the natural light.
  • As I head to the kitchen, the under-cabinet lights in the kitchen turn on, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
  • My Casambi-controlled ceiling lights in the living room adjust to a comfortable brightness, setting the tone for the day.

It’s these small touches that make my mornings so enjoyable. I’d love to hear if others have similar setups or any tips to enhance this routine! :bulb:
