Yo fellow Aqara fans! Just wanted to share how this little motion sensor has become my bedroom MVP. At first I just used it for basic lights-on-when-I-enter stuff, but then I got creative…
-
“Goodnight mode” - When it doesn’t detect movement for 30min after midnight, it gradually dims my smart bulbs to help me fall asleep. No more passing out with lights blazing!
-
Morning routine trigger - First motion after 6am kicks on my coffee maker and opens the blinds halfway. Game changer for us non-morning people.
-
Security blanket - If motion’s detected while my phone shows I’m away, I get an alert with camera snapshot. Caught my cat breaking in to steal socks this way!
-
Reading nook magic - Specific corner detection turns on just my reading lamp at 30% brightness. Looks so cozy.
-
“Where’s my phone?” hack - Double wave at the sensor makes my phone ring even on silent. Lifesaver when it’s buried in blankets.
Anyone else doing cool stuff with these? I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of what this $20 gadget can do!
