How do Scenes Work?

Simplify Your Day with Scenes

Simplify and automate your daily routines with Scenes. Whether you’re waking up, leaving the house, returning home, having dinner, or going to bed, create custom automation Scenes to seamlessly perform multiple actions for multiple devices at once. Just set up your preferences, then simply tap a button or use a voice command for easy, whole-home control. Enjoy instant security, convenience, and comfort anytime with:

  • A wake-up Scene to disarm your panel, turn on the kitchen lights, and raise the living room shades
  • A dinnertime Scene that seamlessly dims the lights, lowers the shades, and starts a playlist
  • A goodnight Scene that arms your security system, closes shades, turns off the lights, locks all entrances, and adjusts the thermostat
  • An Away Scene to close the garage, lock all the doors, arm your panel, and set the thermostat to save energy so you can leave without a worry
