Set hue scene when I turn on lights

Hi there,

New to home assistant. I have some Philips hue lights in the living room when I have managed to set up an automation to turn the lights on and off at set times. Is it possible to set a specific scene as part of my automation? I.e. some of my preconfigured scenes on the hue bridge? Or would it be better to set specific light colours within home assistant itself?

Thanks

Seems Iike it would be easiest to have a Hue routine set from Hue directly. I’ve got a low light start in my home office during the week set like this … Same with my Kitchen Lutron Caseta as these apps make that super easy.

You can definitely call hue scenes

With that said, you can also make an HA Scene and call that too. You could turn on your hue scene via the hue app, then capture the Scene settings in HA. The benefit of the HA scene vs hue is that you can include other lights that are not part of Hue.
