Smart Life Hack: Brew Your Morning Coffee Automatically with Aqara Motion Sensor

Okay guys, I just had to share this game-changing setup I figured out last weekend. You know that groggy morning struggle when you’re half-asleep trying to make coffee? Solved it with my Aqara motion sensor and a smart plug!

Here’s how it works: I placed the motion sensor near my bedroom door. When it detects me walking out (usually around 6:30am), it triggers my coffee machine via the smart plug. By the time I stumble into the kitchen, there’s fresh coffee waiting. No more fumbling with buttons or waiting - the perfect pick-me-up exactly when I need it!

Pro tip: Adjust the sensor’s sensitivity so it doesn’t get triggered by pets. Also works great for tea drinkers - just swap the coffee maker for an electric kettle.

Anyone else got cool automation hacks for morning routines? Would love to hear your setups!
