After exploring various ways to enhance my morning routine, I decided to integrate my coffee maker into my SmartThings ecosystem. The process was both exciting and educational, and I’d like to share my experience with the community.I started by identifying the necessary components: an Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch to control the coffee maker and a PEQ moisture sensor to detect when the brewing cycle begins. The setup involved connecting these devices to SmartThings and creating a custom SmartApp to handle the automation logic. I was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the integration was, especially with the help of the HAM Bridge for audible alerts.The moisture sensor plays a crucial role by detecting water levels, ensuring the coffee maker doesn’t start without the necessary resources. Once the brewing process begins, the SmartApp sends notifications to keep me informed. This integration not only saves time but also adds a layer of convenience I never imagined possible.For those interested in replicating this setup, I’ve documented the entire process on Hackster.io and GitHub. The repository includes the SmartApp code and step-by-step instructions, making it accessible for anyone looking to enhance their coffee-making experience with smart technology.This project has been a fantastic way to explore the capabilities of SmartThings and has inspired me to look for other areas in my home where automation can bring similar benefits. I’m eager to hear about others’ experiences and any creative ways they’ve integrated their appliances into their smart homes!
