HOW TO: HomeKit Security Alarm System Automations w/ the Aqara Hub

Published by Shane W. on September 4, 2019September 4, 2019

I am using the Aqara Hub as my HomeKit Security System and today we are going to customize it and set up some automations so that it does even more!

We will set up three new automations:

2:22 Automation #1: INTRUDER ALERT!
* Turn on ALL the house lights to 100% when the alarm is triggered in HomeKit

3:40 Automation #2: AWAY MODE
* Set a 60 second delay that gives us time to exit the house before the alarm is set and automation begins
* Set alarm to sound continuously when triggered
* Lock the door
* Shut the garage
* Turn off all the lights inside

6:59 Automation #3: AUTO DISARM SECURITY SYSTEM ON ARRIVAL
* Automatically DISARM the security system when the garage door is opened upon arrival
