I have an Aqara security setup that uses a Door Sensor connected to an M1S hub. Each evening, when everyone leaves the facility, the system arms itself in Away Mode.
To make mornings easier for staff members who don’t have the Aqara app or an Aqara account, I created an automation that automatically disarms the system when certain people arrive.
Here’s how it works:
- When the Door Sensor detects the door opening while in Away Mode, an Aqara Smart Switch turns on the light in the reception area.
- At the same time, a G3 Camera facing the front entrance uses AI facial recognition to identify known individuals.
- If a recognized person is detected, the security system is automatically disarmed.
