In smart home terminology, a &#8220;scene&#8221; is a predefined and synchronized set of actions or settings that can be triggered all at once with a single command or action. It allows you to control multiple smart devices simultaneously, enabling you to create specific environments or scenarios in your home effortlessly. Scenes can be activated through a user-friendly control panel, or even automatically triggered by motion sensors detecting movement. They bring a new level of convenience and efficiency to your smart home experience, allowing you to tailor your environment to your needs and preferences with ease.
