Ten ideas to make everyday life easier, from sunrise to bedtime. Start with what you would love your home to do. We’ll help you find the products and setup that fit.


A relaxed morning in a light-filled Australian home, with a phone and smart speaker within reach.


1. Sunrise — Let the morning in.


Opens compatible bedroom blinds at your chosen wake-up time.



Domotic tech tip: Give each bedroom its own wake-up time. The whole house doesn’t need to start the day together.


2. Early morning garden care — A little care for the garden. Less work for you.


Runs scheduled garden watering, with weather-aware settings in Yardian.



Domotic tech tip: Use rain-skipping rules so the garden skips a drink when rain has done the job.


3. Getting ready — Start the day comfortable.


Schedules your compatible air conditioner. A window sensor can trigger cooling to stop when the window opens.



Domotic tech tip: Time your comfort for when you use the room, rather than cooling it all morning.


4. Leaving home — Last out? Lights out.


Switches selected lamps off when the last person leaves.


Products: Eve Energy


Domotic tech tip: Choose “last person leaves” so anyone still at home keeps their lights.


5. Arriving home — A welcome when your hands are full.


Opening the garage triggers a connected lamp to switch on.



Domotic tech tip: Place the welcome light on the path to the kitchen. Groceries in hand, one less switch to find.


6. Sunset — Light that follows your day.


Apple’s Adaptive Lighting adjusts supported bulbs’ white tones throughout the day, becoming warmer towards evening.



Domotic tech tip: Start with your favourite evening lamp, so you enjoy warmer light where you relax.


7. Dinner outside — Your outdoor and garden lights. Ready for the evening.


Control your outdoor and garden lights separately in Apple Home with a splash-resistant Meross outdoor smart plug.



Domotic tech tip: Keep the dining area lit while switching the garden lights off.


8. Winding down — Set the mood in a moment.


Sets your chosen brightness and colours with one Apple Home scene.



Domotic tech tip: Create your own “Evening” scene. One tap brings the room together.


9. Bedtime — Make locking up part of the routine.


Shows your front door’s lock status and lets you lock it through Apple Home.



Domotic tech tip: Check whether you locked up from bed, without another trip downstairs.


10. During the night — A little light when you need it.


Motion triggers a gentle hallway light during your chosen nighttime hours.



Domotic tech tip: Choose low, warm light to find your way without lighting up the whole room.


Start with one everyday improvement.


You don’t need to change everything at once. Choose the moment that would make the biggest difference, then build from there.
