I recently set up Home Assistant and started exploring the world of smart home automation. One of my first—and now favorite—automations is part of my morning routine.
Let’s be honest: waking up early sucks. Alarm clocks are loud, annoying, and stressful. I wanted something more peaceful to get me out of bed. And I found it…
I wake up through the smell of coffee and the gentle bubbling sound of a moka pot. 😌
The Setup
- I bought this moka machine from Bialetti: https://www.bialetti.com/ee_en/moka-elettrika.html It’s called the Moka Elettrika, and it runs on electricity.
- I connected it to a smart plug that’s controlled by Home Assistant.
The Automation
- At 7:55 AM, the smart plug turns on, powering the moka pot.
- The moka starts brewing right away.
- At 8:10 AM, the plug turns off again.
By the time I'm awake, the apartment smells like fresh coffee, and I hear that cozy, comforting moka pot bubbling away. It’s such a calm and natural way to wake up—no loud noises, no stress.
This tiny automation has made a huge difference in how I start my day. If you're into smart home stuff (or just love coffee), give it a try!
