Scenes

You can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can specify that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
scene:
  - name: Romantic
    entities:
      light.tv_back_light: on
      light.ceiling:
        state: on
        xy_color: [0.33, 0.66]
        brightness: 200
  - name: Movies
    entities:
      light.tv_back_light:
        state: on
        brightness: 100
      light.ceiling: off
      media_player.sony_bravia_tv:
        source: HDMI 1

Configuration variables:

name (Required): Friendly name of scene.
entities (Required): Entities to control.

Scenes can be activated using the service scene.turn_on (there is no ‘scene.turn_off’ service).

# Example automation
...
automation:
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: device_tracker.sweetheart
    from: 'not_home'
    to: 'home'
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.romantic

Please note that the scene component currently only supports one service call per entity to achieve the state. Due to this limitation you cannot set states belonging to different services.
