How to set up a ‘Good morning’ scene in the Tixa app (step by step)

A five-minute walkthrough: pick the loads, set the levels, add a weekday schedule and test it from bed.

Morning light coming through bedroom curtains

Quick answer: In the Tixa app, open Scenes, tap New scene, choose the lights, fan, geyser and curtain you want, set each one’s state, then add a schedule for weekdays. The whole thing takes about five minutes and you can trigger it from the app, a TouchX scene key or a voice assistant.

Before you start

  • Make sure every room you want in the scene is set up in the app with its loads named (‘Bedroom fan’, not ‘Switch 3’).

  • Decide the wake-up time. Scenes are more useful on a schedule than on a tap.

  • If you have a curtain controller or a geyser on a Tixa module, include them; they are what make mornings feel automatic.

Step by step

  1. Open the Tixa app and go to Scenes.

  2. Tap New scene and name it ‘Good morning’.

  3. Add the bedroom lamp at a low level and the main light off. Gentle beats bright at 6.30am.

  4. Add the curtain: open. Add the geyser: on. Add the bedroom fan: a low speed if you use one.

  5. Add the kitchen light: on, so the first room you walk into is ready.

  6. Tap Schedule and set the time for weekdays only. Leave weekends manual.

  7. Save, then tap the scene once to test it while you are awake and can see every room.

  8. Optional: assign it to a TouchX scene key at the bedside so a single tap does the same thing on a holiday.

Make it better over a week

The first version is never the final one. If the geyser is ready too late, move it ten minutes earlier. If the lamp is too bright, drop the level. Scenes are editable at any time and changes apply from the next run.

Pair it with a ‘Leaving’ scene

The natural partner is a scene that switches everything off, locks the Smart Lock and arms the sensors when you go out. Add it to the panel at the front door and the house takes care of itself in both directions.

Frequently asked questions

Does the scene need the internet to run?

Scheduled scenes run on the Tixa hub inside your home, so they continue even if your broadband is down.

Can each family member have a different morning scene?

Yes. Create one per person or per room, and share the app with family members so they can edit their own.

Can I trigger it by voice?

Yes. Once the scene exists, it is available to your voice assistant by name.

Key takeaways

  • Name your loads first; scenes are only as clear as their parts.

  • Schedule on weekdays, keep weekends manual.

  • Test once, then adjust over a week.
