Scene triggered by play button

[a.fuschetto]

Hi Community,

I have a basic question about scenes, and I’m likely overlooking something important.

How can a scene be configured to trigger solely when the play button in the app or Cloud is pressed? I understand that specifying a condition is a mandatory step, but in this case, the scene would be initiated by a deliberate human action (and not by a device, time, scene or alarm).

What am I missing?

Thank you,
Antonio

hi @a.fuschetto you can add the scene button to the dashboard as seen below. this can also be used to test if the scene is working according to how you want it to work.

or are you trying to activate a scene a other way

Hi @Heinz, the process to create a scene includes the definition of a condition:

But in my use case, where I want to manually execute the scene, which kind of condition should I use?

Suppose that I want to switch off all the lights in my home by pressing a button on the app or Cloud. Can I configure a scene that could do that?

Thanks,
Antonio

You can add the scene as a widget to your dashboard as seen in my image below. The play button will execute the scene. This way you can have the option to either turn off all the lights from the app and or with a Blu button.
