Hey everyone! Just wanted to throw this out there—I’ve been playing around with my Aqara setup recently and found a way to actually enjoy waking up (yeah, didn’t think that was possible either).
So here’s what I did: I set up a super simple automation linked to my motion sensor in the bedroom. As soon as I get out of bed (movement detected), it kicks off a chain—lights slowly fade on, curtains open halfway (not full blast because… mornings), my smart plug starts the coffee machine, and the bathroom heater turns on if the temp sensor says it’s below 20°C.
It’s such a smooth transition now compared to my old “hit snooze 5 times and regret life” routine. Took me like 20 mins to set everything up in the Aqara app.
Anyone else done some fun morning routines like this? I’m thinking of adding in a “news brief via Siri” next, but open to ideas! Drop your tips or setups—I’m nosy like that
