Hey everyone! Thought I’d share something cool I’ve been playing around with — custom scripts on the Aqara M3 Hub. I’m not exactly a coding wizard, more of a smart home enthusiast who likes tinkering, and this has been a total game-changer for me.
So here’s the thing — out of the box, the M3 is great. But once you start digging into custom scripts via the Developer Hub, it’s like opening a hidden menu of magic tricks. I’ve managed to get my sensors to not just run simple automations, but respond to more conditional logic that the vanilla app can’t handle well.
For example, I scripted a logic where if the air quality sensor goes above a certain threshold AND the window is closed, it turns on the purifier. But if the window’s open — it just sends me a push alert saying “Don’t be dumb, open air won’t clean itself ”.
Also experimented with using presence + time of day + light level to adjust the color temp of my bulbs dynamically. Not just “sunset = warm white” kind of thing — more like soft transitions that shift across the day, totally dependent on active room zones.
Curious if anyone else is using this part of the M3? Any cool ideas or use cases you’ve tried? I’m still learning and would love to hear what kind of crazy automations or scripts you all have going. And if anyone’s interested, I’m happy to drop some pseudo-code or example setups to get started.
Let’s hear it!
