This makes it easier for light automation. Instead of creating multiple scenes for each room, I could create 3 global scenes that have all the lights in there. GF can edit those in UI. Then cycle between those scenes on button press with a dropdown. When light switch in the room is pressed only apply scene to the specific room. I guess in order to apply the scene to other rooms that were already on we would need some more things. Well either way find an easy solution to have a few global scenes and toggle between those - philips hue can do it easily.
You could implement this with a script rather than the (limited) scene integration.
Like this:
script:
room_light_scene_romatic:
sequence:
- light.turn_on:
target:
area: "{{ area_paased_from_button_action }}"
data:
brightness_pct: 24
rgb_color: "{{255,0,0}}"
Wow quick response thanks, cool community!
I contemplated doing that but I want the scene editor to function - it brings huge benefits. I want my GF to make cool light scenes that she loves in the scenes editor UI simply. Then I want to apply those to rooms. That’s what scenes could provide us with in my opinion.
Make things accessible, share the fun.
Also each bulb should have different brightness and colour, that’s lots of typing in the script but no work using scenes.
