I’ve created this list of ideas for smart home scenes that almost everyone will find useful.
Smart home scenes let you control multiple accessories using a button or voice command.
The more you use your smart home devices, the more ideas you’ll get for scenes.
But if you’re just getting set up, start with these ideas.
you might create the scene, then schedule it for your wake-up time.
I leave it until I’m a little more awake before opening it fully.
2Dinner Time
Another scene that will be useful for most is Dinner Time.
Then activate it once you’ve finished cooking.
3Cooking
Speaking of cooking, it can often be useful to have a scene for this.
Typically this would set the main kitchen lights to maximum brightness, doing the same to the under-cabinet lighting.
Typically you’ll want to use only indirect lighting, and to set the brightness low to avoid glare.
Some people have funky color light setups for TV viewing.

Here you might want soft, warm lightingbut perhaps not as dim as you’d choose for Movie Night.
Again, you might want to start a playlist on your main sound system.
If you do, then it may be as simple as switching on the lighting in that room.

This usually works by checking for the presence of smartphones in the home.
Additionally, you might switch on heating or cooling if not already activated by a Heading Home scene.
You could also use it to ensure the smart locks are locked as you settle off to sleep.

I later created a scene to automate that.
