Alright y’all, I’ve been playing with the Aqara Magic Cube lately and honestly… this thing is way more powerful than I initially thought.
So here’s the deal—I originally just used it to control lights in my living room. Flip = lights on/off. Boring. But then I started getting wild with automations, and now the cube is kinda like the magical remote I didn’t know I needed.
Here are some of the fun ones I’ve tried:
- Shake the cube in the bedroom = dim the lights, close curtains, start white noise. Perfect vibe for winding down.
- Rotate clockwise slowly = volume up on the soundbar. Counter = volume down. Works like magic.
- Double tap = “movie mode” in living room. Curtains close, lights go to %30 warm white, projector fires up.
- Push it = starts a coffee brew in the kitchen via smart plug + sends a Spotify playlist to the speakers.
I’m telling you, once you stop thinking of the Magic Cube as just a light remote, it becomes straight-up wizardry.
Curious—what are the craziest automations you have done with it? I’m on the hunt for fresh ideas. Let’s get creative!
