Smart Scenes That Will Revolutionize Your Morning Routine

Automation Inspirations
1

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to the smart home world, just started messing with Aqara stuff a few months ago, but MAN—figuring out morning automations was a total gamechanger for me.

I used to be the kind of person who hit snooze six times and ran out the door half-dressed with cold coffee. Now? Aqara’s got my back.

Here’s what my current setup looks like:
As soon as motion is detected in the bedroom (me stumbling out of bed), my bedside lamp fades on gently, kitchen lights come up warm, and the curtains open automatically if it’s after 6:30AM and my window sensor says they’re still closed. Feels like waking up in a fancy hotel.

Then my smart plug kicks on the coffee machine. By the time I’m in the kitchen, it’s already brewed. TOTAL win. If it’s below 15°C, the heater flicks on thanks to the temperature sensor. No fumbling with anything. It just… happens.

I’m still tweaking the flow, but honestly, waking up doesn’t suck anymore.

Curious: what are your “can’t-live-without” morning scenes? And does anyone have ideas for a “workout day” variant of this scene? Thinking about automating a reminder and maybe some hype music?

Would love to hear how you all start your day with Aqara!

@Wi-Fi_Wizard Your morning automation setup sounds amazing and truly transformative for starting the day on the right foot! It’s fantastic to hear how Aqara has brought such a positive change to your routine. Your current setup with motion detection, smart lighting, curtain automation, and the coffee machine activation seems like a dream for anyone who struggles with mornings.

For a “workout day” variant, you might consider setting up an automation that starts with a gentle reminder or alarm to get you moving. You could use a smart speaker to play your favorite workout playlist or some energizing music as soon as you step into your workout space. Additionally, if you have a smart plug, you could have it turn on any exercise equipment or lighting that creates the perfect workout ambiance.

Keep experimenting and tweaking your scenes—automation is all about personalization and making life easier. We’d love to hear more about your progress and any new scenes you create. Thanks for sharing your experience, and keep those innovative ideas coming!
