Yeah, thanks for making me aware! Can’t wait to get home from work again 
Okay, I deleted the previous created scenes and created new ones with the lights off. GET of /scenes shows that they are in place.
But now the option “Aus” is not working anymore. This is in the logs:

“Aus” is spelled the same in Home Assistant and the Hue bridge, including upper / lower case. Appearantly it doesn’t like my scene…?
Nevermind, I restartet Home Assistant and the Hue Bridge and now it works. 
added this in my Buttons setup, to replace the Tiles cards, now showing as:
needs some further tweaking, (move many of the styles bits to the templates, add some background maybe), but get the idea…

It appears that the “Off” scene created with CLIP is working with Hue groups that are rooms, but not with areas. Thats a problem as I often want to turn off lights i.e. on the upper floor, including all rooms.
I just created a intent script / script for Snips that can differentiate if we want a scene or “Off” and run the appropriate service. That way it becomes completely unnecessary to create “Off” scenes on the bridge. I created the same for this scene selector:
set_hue_scene:
alias: HUE Szene wählen
sequence:
- service_template: >
{% if states("input_select.hue_scenes") == "Aus" %}
script.licht_aus
{% elif states("input_select.hue_scenes") == "An" %}
script.licht_an
{% else %}
script.setze_szene
{% endif %}
data_template:
temp_group: '{{ states("input_select.hue_groups")}}'
temp_scene: '{{ states("input_select.hue_scenes")}}'
setze_szene:
alias: Szene setzen
sequence:
- service: hue.hue_activate_scene
data_template:
group_name: '{{ temp_group }}'
scene_name: '{{ temp_scene }}'
licht_aus:
alias: Licht aus
sequence:
- service: light.turn_off
data_template:
entity_id: light.{{ temp_group | lower }}
licht_an:
alias: Licht an
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: light.{{ temp_group | lower }}
As you can see “On” is also working, of course.
In my Snips script I also extended this with brightness and color. Can be done here, too you will just need two more inputs. Didn’t make sense to me, but it’s possible.
Attention: For the room / area names to work with HA I had to make them lower case (| lower), Might be possible that this won’t work for room or area names including spaces (because in HA they will be named “bla_blub” instead of “bla blub”). Will test that later. If failing, spaces need to be replaced by _ in addition to making it lower case.

Because i am new user (a few days ago install HA) and happen to had Hue system, i find this Project very interesting.
Could you help me to install it in my occasion?
Running Hassio in Docker at Ubuntu 19.04 (Laptop).
Just i copy all of the codes that you supply and paste them at configuration.yaml ? Because when i did it i receive a lot of errors at Notifications.
HI, Since we had a Pm discussion, I take it you are addressing this to me ?
Not really sure what you mean by casting all the code into configuration.yaml, but that is not what you should do…
Also which notifications are you talking about?
just so we are clear on the code (it has been renewed because of the move from Tiles to Button custom card (which you need to have installed as resources for Lovelace)) Ill repost it here:

and the input_selects which need the exact names as in the Hue system, in my setting:

for the groups you just select your own named groups like the above.
Also, you’ll need the pictures, let me know if you have these.

Seems i need to understand a few more stuff over the HomeAssistant platform before start installing it.
Ty for replay will try to set it up.
hi there,
Is there a way to adapt your code for lights other than hue.
Thank you very much for you help.
well, this is a thread for Hue scenes, using Hue lights, in Hue groups…
not sure what you would want to adapt tbh.
Hi Marius,
I guess I need to do this script in lovelace yaml? Do I also need to add things in the configuration file of the backend? I would also need the pictures to fix this
Could you help me with this?
which script do you want ‘to do in lovelace yaml’? scripts are done in the backend, they are merely displayed in the Lovelace frontend. Depending on your setup of course.
This is what I now have:
We can help you if you post what you have yourself, so we can go from there.
Thanks for posting this. This looks just what I’m looking for to finish off my Living Room controller. A couple of questions;
How do I get the horizontal and vertical filler template?
Can you share your icons as well?
I’m trying to add this but I keep getting the error: horizontal-filler is missing. Where do I add this?
horizontal-filler is nothing more than an empty button card to fill put the edges. I no longer use these and have the edges touched by the button-cards.
same goes for the vertical-filler, which I still use to create some space before the next card.
I was just asking since I keep getting errors when adding button card templates. I added my resources in the configuration file like this:
lovelace:
mode: yaml
resources: !include lovelace/resources/resources.yaml
I have the set_hue_scene and tiles_set hue_scene scripts added, with the input selects. They work fine.
this at the top of my ui-lovelace.yaml
button_card_templates:
button_picture_script_small:
size: 70%
show_state: false
show_label: false
show_name: true
show_entity_picture: true
color_type: card
aspect_ratio: 1/1
tap_action:
action: none
haptic: light
hold_action:
action: more-info
haptic: success
color: ‘#555B65’
styles:
name:
- padding-left: 3px
- font-weight: bold
- font-family: Helvetica
- font-size: 13px
- color: ‘lightgrey’
And I keep getting the error that a template is missing
That’s correct if you don’t have it added under the button card templates
nothing more than this:
vertical-divider-grey:
color_type: blank-card
styles:
card:
- color: dimgray
- width: 2px
horizontal-filler:
color_type: blank-card
styles:
card:
- width: 3px
vertical-filler:
color_type: blank-card
styles:
card:
- height: 3px
so I added this, but still getting the same error. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Seems like the I have it at the wrong spot or something
no templates are being found.
You need to set the place where you save them in your config. Check the instructions on button-card repo
