Hue Scene Automation

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how to Automate Hue scenes as per documentation.

I have got a script working that will activate when I trigger using and input.boolean, however I’d really like to automate based on a trigger from Scenes Activate on the front end. I tried automation based on a trigger by the scene state change to “on”, but that doesnt work, presumably as scenes state shows as “scening”.

Has anyone got a working example for this? Do I need to look for an Event trigger and if so what does the event look like?

Ok, I finally figured it out:

- alias: ACTIVATE Philips Hue Read
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: call_service
    event_data:
      domain: scene
      service: turn_on
      service_data:
        entity_id: scene.read
  action:
    service: hue.hue_activate_scene
    data: 
      group_name: "Lounge"
      scene_name: "Read"
