How it works

Automation 

Scheduled lighting control

Set up automation: if the time is 19:00, then turn on the lights in the living room through the Aqara E1 smart switch. This will allow you to automatically turn on the lights in the evening, creating a cozy atmosphere.

When we came home

Set up automation with the Aqara smart lock. For example, when the door opened from 18:00 to 23:00, the lights turned on.

Leaving the house

When you press the switch E1, the lights will turn off and the curtains will close. Use this mode when leaving the house to instantly turn off lights and close curtains throughout the house.
