I just started to get into home automation and trying to figure out what products I need since I close on my home in a few days and these were all great ideas especially the night automation. Thank you for sharing.

Great stuff Adam! Gotta love those midnight snacks but totally agree an automation is the way to go instead of using Siri in the middle of the night! All of these ideas are 👌🏼🤩!

[kickboxer]

thanks man. couldnt figure this thing out in a million years worthout you

I am really curious how did you fade in and fade out your smart lights?

[rhmsantos]

For the door opening alarm, I have noticed the min you can choose is 5 sec delay. Would it be possible to set the alarm to trigger immediately as the main purpose of my needs is to control if my son sneak out during the evening

Do I need a button to sync both Aqara and HomeKit to, let’s say night guard, at the same time? Or can I just switch my HomeKit to Night and it will arm my home guard in Aqara?

Awesome Video. Btw which are those downlights flashing blue?

[CharlesGroleau]

Hello, is there a way to use Aqara automation (in their app) to repeat automation when a door contact is left opened ?

[ErzTubeHD]

Aqara Mi Switch isnt shown in my home app… also what does your system arm when you just go out for the mailbox?

[nicole-orup]

Great video. Thank you. For the security part, if the trigger device is Aqara g2H camera, will it able to tell the difference between human movement / normal motion detect ?

Thank you

This video was useful now I can use the cube for things that aren’t aqara

I'm new to aqara and I can not get my lifx bulbs connected. Any help suggestions tips articles would be so helpful. Thx

Hey Adam, great vid. Thx a lot! I am using NFC to trigger alarm system turn off. After iOS 15 I have to approve to run shortcut despite of it set do not ask to do that. Before iOS 15 it worked well. Do U know what the issue is? ( Already removed and added again. Same. Does not work. ) Thx

Awesome tips! I have a question though: Since the M1S has a speaker and can play chimes with Aqara doorbell devices, can it also play chimes with other non-Aqara smart doorbells thats connected to Homekit?

[wdillard]

I have looked everywhere on how to edit away mode and I can’t find it. Currently when I set system to away and walk in from of G3 camera it does nothing.

[gerrymoloney]

Is it possible to set a beep or other sound during the entry and exit delay

[jasonrandall]

Great video. Aqara is new to me can you post a list of all the devices you are using? I am looking at setting up alarm system.

Thanks for the ideas! My question is how do you apply an automation to several like sensors? Example: I have 5 Aqara leak detectors and want flashing lights if any of them detect a leak. Can that be done or do you have to set up an automation for each and every one individually?

Also I noticed a change. Most sensors not longer appear in the add automations/scenes. However you can find a "add automation" option in the sensors setting screen. Guessing this was a change due to the latest HomeKit version. Not sure I like how they display and treat sensors this way. Especially that "water" icon at the top!

Hi. The aqara hub has the alarm option. In HK Can I have a non aqara sensor like fibaro leak sensor or Eve leak sensor trigger the aqara alarm?

[uncommonsenseU]

Can I use this hub just like a keypad seen in Ring or Eufy.
