Alright , let me tell you—automating my morning has been one of the smartest moves I’ve made with my smart home setup yet.
I’m definitely not a morning person. Hitting snooze 3 times, stumbling to the kitchen half-asleep, forgetting if I even brushed my teeth… it was chaos. So I finally decided to let my Aqara gadgets do the thinking for me.
Now, the moment my alarm goes off (tied to an Aqara smart plug + light alarm combo), the bedroom curtains automatically start opening with the curtain motor. Soft light filters in—no blinding overheads. Motion sensor in the hallway picks up as I walk by and triggers the coffee machine plug. Temperature sensor checks if it’s chilly and turns on the heater if needed using a simple scene setup.
By the time I hit the bathroom, mirror lights + speaker turn on and start my “Good Morning” Spotify playlist. Vibes = immaculate.
The whole routine feels seamless, and honestly… I feel 80% more human by the time I start work.
Curious to hear how others have pimped out their morning flows. Any cool ideas or automations I should try next?
