SMART HOME BUTLER · BEDROOM
How many times do you get up again after lying down?
One button by the bed closes down the whole house — living room lights, hallway, curtains, air conditioning, all at once.
That last patrol before bed is unnecessary
You get into bed and remember the living room light. Either you get up and walk the whole way, or you lie there thinking about it. Almost everyone has done this, and not just once.
More common still: the curtains never got closed, the air conditioning is still at 24 degrees, the hallway light burns all night. None of it is serious, but together it is a walk you do not want to take, plus a small annoyance the next morning when you find the light was on all night.
A bedtime scene exists for exactly this. Press once before you lie down, the whole house closes up, and you can shut your eyes.
Four scenes cover the bedroom's day
| Scene | When you press it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Bedtime | Just before lying down | All nine closing actions. Easily the most valuable of the four |
| Reading | A book before sleep | Bedside lamp 3000K at 60%, other lights off, climate unchanged. Bright enough to read, gentle enough on the eyes |
| Wake | First thing in the morning | Curtains open, bedside lamp ramps up at 4000K, climate returns to daytime |
| Unwind | A daytime lie-down | Curtains half closed, lights dimmed, music low. Unlike bedtime, it leaves the rest of the house alone |
What an evening looks like
- 22:00
Back from the shower
Press "Reading". The bedside lamp goes to 3000K at 60% and the rest of the house is left alone, because other people may still be using it.
- 23:15
Finished the chapter
Press "Bedtime". Nine things at once: living room, dining and kitchen lights off, hallway left on a very dim night light, bedside lamp down to 2200K at 20%, curtains closed, climate to sleep mode, TV off, door and window sensors on watch.
- 23:20
Lights out
The bedside lamp switches itself off five minutes later. Nothing to reach for, and nothing to worry about in the living room.
- 03:00
Up in the night
That 5% hallway light is deliberate. Enough to see your way, not enough to wake you properly.
- 07:00
Morning
Press "Wake", or let it run on a schedule. Curtains open and the lamp ramps from dim to 4000K — far gentler than an alarm.
Four things it takes care of
No second trip
Remembering the living room light after lying down simply stops happening. The most direct and most daily of the improvements.
Better sleep
Warm light and a climate sleep mode both help you drop off — details nobody has the energy to set one by one every night.
Electricity
No more lights burning until morning. Over a year the saving is larger than most people expect.
Security
Door and window sensors go on watch automatically, and the hallway keeps a night light. Nobody has to feel their way in the dark, which matters more with older adults at home.
How you might change it
| Your situation | Suggested change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Household keeps different hours | Do not switch off the whole house | Only close rooms confirmed empty, or limit it to your own side of the home |
| Children in their own room | Add their night light | Bedtime covers their room too, so you do not have to go in again |
| Pets | Hallway light up to 10% | They move around at night too, and too dim means treading on someone |
| You sleep with music on | Add a sleep timer | Let the scene start the music, then stop it automatically after thirty minutes |
| You often forget windows | Add a check to bedtime | Notify if any window is still open — safer than closing them automatically |
What you need to have
| What it does | Category in the system | Essential? |
|---|---|---|
| The button by the bed | switch scene panel | Yes |
| Lights around the home | light | Yes |
| Bedroom curtains | cover | Nice to have |
| Air conditioning | climate | Nice to have |
| TV and speakers | media_player | Nice to have |
How the whole thing works
Use the ready-made blueprint
The hub ships with 22 tested automation blueprints — think of one as a fill-in-the-blanks form. This wires buttons to scenes with switch_trigger_things. The scenes themselves have to exist first, or the rules have nothing to call.
| Field | What it means | Suggested |
|---|---|---|
| Which button | One key on the bedside panel | — |
| Which scene | Bedtime, reading, wake or unwind | — |
| Active hours | Bedtime can be limited to evenings | After 20:00 |
| Notifications | Not needed | Off |
Two optional additions
| If you want | Blueprint | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Bedside lamp switches itself off | adascene_multi | The bedtime slot runs a script that waits five minutes and then turns the bedside lamp off, so you can lie there and let it fade out |
| Waking without pressing | adascene_single | Runs the wake scene at the same time daily. The curtains open and the light comes up on their own, which beats an alarm |
Just say the word
You do not have to click any of those four scenes together yourself. The WOOWTECH smart hub runs HA-MCP, so the AI can connect straight into your system, build them, and then press the button itself to confirm they really run.
Prompts you can copy straight out
Every block below can be copied whole, using the button on the right. Pick the one closest to your situation, you do not need all of them.
Build me a bedtime scene and put it on the panel beside my bed. One press should turn off the living room, dining room and kitchen lights and leave one very dim light in the hallway. Work out how many buttons the panel has and which one to use. If you cannot find something, say so plainly instead of guessing.
Set up all four bedroom scenes at once and wire them to the bedside panel. Bedtime: living, dining and kitchen lights off, hallway light left at 5%, bedside lamp at 2200K and 20%, bedroom curtains closed, climate to 26C sleep mode, TV and speakers off. Reading: bedside lamp at 3000K and 60%, other bedroom lights off, everything else untouched. Wake: curtains open, bedside lamp ramping slowly up to 4000K, climate back to 25C. Unwind: curtains half open, bedside lamp at 2700K and 40%, everything else untouched. Add one more thing to bedtime: five minutes after it runs, switch the bedside lamp off as well. Bedtime should only work after 20:00, so a stray daytime press does nothing. None of these need to message me. They should just run quietly. Skip any device I do not own rather than getting stuck on it. Once it is set up, test it yourself, make sure it genuinely works, then tell me which devices you used.
My partner and I keep very different hours, so the living room is usually still in use when I go to bed. Do not have bedtime shut the whole house down. Limit it to my side of the house: the bedroom, the hallway and the ensuite light. Leave the living room, dining room and kitchen lights alone. If any of those areas have a presence sensor, only switch them off once nobody is there, and skip them entirely if someone is.
On the bedtime scene, take the hallway night light from 5% up to 10%. The cat moves around at night and 5% is too dark to see her. Leave everything else alone and just confirm when it is done.
Something keeps spoiling the moment: after I press the bedside bedtime button, the lights do not drop together, they trail off one at a time over the best part of ten seconds. I want to know where that time actually goes - the instant the panel sends its signal, an ordering baked into the scene itself, or particular lights that are simply slow to answer. List how many seconds each light takes from my press to actually going dark, and flag the slowest few. Anything you can shorten, go ahead and shorten it, then run it once more for me. What I am after is everything going dark almost the instant I press.
Common questions
Someone else is still up — is switching off the whole house too much?
Does a hallway light on all night cost much?
What if I press the wrong one?
Could I use voice instead of a button?
Do the scenes survive a power cut?
Do I have to rebuild to add something to bedtime?
A month from now
You have not got up again after lying down once, and you no longer walk into the living room in the morning to find a light burning.
That button by the bed becomes the last thing you do each day.
