Hey fellow Aqara fans! Just had to share this game-changing setup I’ve been using for months now. My front door has never been smarter!
Here’s the deal - I connected my Aqara smart lock with motion and door sensors to create the ultimate security combo. When I approach with groceries (motion sensor triggers), the porch light turns on automatically. But the real magic happens when the door opens - the hallway lights turn on, thermostat adjusts, and my security cameras disarm… all before I even step inside!
The trick was fine-tuning the delay settings in the Aqara app to prevent false triggers. Took some trial and error, but now it works like a charm every time. Anyone else rocking similar setups? Would love to hear your automation hacks!
Pro tip: Make sure your sensor placement accounts for pets if you have them - learned that the hard way when my cat kept triggering the goodnight scene at 3am!
