Hey everyone, just wanted to share a little win that’s made my mornings a lot smoother lately thanks to Aqara Smart Wall Switches.
I used to wake up, blindly search for the light switch, fiddle with the coffee machine, and stumble through the house half-asleep. Not anymore.
I set up a simple automation using the Aqara switches paired with a motion sensor and connected everything to HomeKit. Now when I get out of bed in the morning, the switch gets triggered automatically — lights turn on gradually (helps with the brutal wake-up), the smart plug for my coffee machine fires up, and even the hallway heater kicks in if it’s below 20°C.
Took me maybe 30 minutes to set everything up, and it’s been rock solid since. The best part? I don’t even touch my phone anymore in the mornings.
For those wondering — I used the no-neutral version since I’m in an older apartment. Zero issues.
Anyone else using Aqara switches for routines like this? Would love to hear creative setups — I’m tempted to automate my night routine next… maybe even tie it to brushing my teeth lol.
Share your setups or any pro tips!
