Thanks for the advice:) It is a shame as it was working lovely. I’ll have a look at scripts instead.
So aparently you cannot use the same service data attributes as in the ‘light’ domain anymore. I was very happy using both ‘brightness_pct’ and ‘transition’.
But how do you integrate a script into a scene?

Hi Kaspar,
I have ditched all my scenes now and rewritten them as scripts that I call from my automations.
Mark
I moved my scenes to scripts and then just replaced the contents of the scene with the script:
Scenes:
- name: Movie
entities:
script.movie_lights: on
Scripts:
'movie_lights':
alias: Movie Lights
sequence:
- data:
entity_id: switch.movie
service: switch.turn_on
- data:
brightness_pct: 75
color_name: blue
entity_id: light.living_room_color_lights
transition: 5
service: light.turn_on
But how do you integrate a script into a scene?
You dont.
You delete the scene and write a script instead.
So where you were specifying states in the scene (like state: on for a particular light) in the script you have to specify services (like light.turn_on for the light you want on).
have a look here 0.101: Airly, Apprise, Sinch, Solar-Log, Microsoft Teams and read on downwards on a discussion about this with HA founder Balloob
Not sure which version it started (0.100+ i think) but my scenes no longer work at all. So i thought (as i only really use two) i would just move to the new Scene Editor to keep things “native”.
However i can’t see most of my entities in the pick list. No switches at all! And only two lights showing!
Is there a limitation on the domains valid for the new editor? Any ideas why this scene would suddenly stop working:
- name: All Off
entities:
light.dining_room_outer:
state: 'off'
light.dining_room_table:
state: 'off'
light.downstairs_hall:
state: 'off'
light.front_door:
state: 'off'
light.hall_downstairs:
state: 'off'
light.kitchen_inner:
state: 'off'
light.kitchen_outer:
state: 'off'
light.main_light:
state: 'off'
light.outside:
state: 'off'
switch.bedroom_lamp:
state: 'off'
switch.outdoor_lights:
state: 'off'
switch.standing_lamp:
state: 'off'
Any ideas?
Hi
I am relatively new to home assistant but have my place set up fairly well. I understand changes were made to the scenes editor implementation, but I also cannot use the editor anymore because only 6 “devices” are available in the device drop down : my phone, my Sonos speakers and my hone built esp8622 “devices”. None of my commercial lights and switches are available (lutron and some other wifi plugs etc)
However these entities/devices are available everywhere else (scripts, automations etc)
Basically scenes are now unusable and broken even if I try to use the editor as intended.
Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug ?
Thanks
Al
They should be listed under entities if they are not under devices. Mine are.
Thanks for the reply David
Have a look at the screen capture for new scene creation. I only have the option to add a device. Are you saying you have another drop down for entities ??
Thanks
Al
Ok thanks for that. I tried on iwindows, iPad and iPhone and entities does not show up - bizarre ! Reinstalling HA and will see before and after I restore if I get the entities back
Thanks
Al
Which version of ha? I’m on 0.103.6
Hi David
I just did a fresh reinstall of 3.7 directly from website for raspberry pi 3 / 32 bit
HA is version 0.103.6 same as yours
I did not make any additions or load up any backups yet. No errors in system lig
I still have no entities drop down…
I am stumped
Al
I’ll just fire up my other machine with a VM on it running HassOS and see what I can see there. Will report back soon.
ok my VM shows it as well
Thanks for trying David
I guess I will use scripts for now. Very strange
Al
In Configuration.yaml do you have:
scene: !include scenes.yaml
Does scenes.yaml exist? (in same folder as configuration.yaml)
Hmm… another VM running debian+hassio has the same flaw as your one!
OK I know what it is.
Enable advanced mode in your user profile. Then it will show correctly.
