Scenarios

Set many devices at once with one tap — on demand or on a schedule.

A scenario ("scene") sets several devices to a chosen state in one tap — "Movie night" dims the lights, closes the shutters and turns on the amplifier. This section covers running, creating and scheduling scenarios.

Running a scenario

You can run a scenario from three places:

  • The Scenarios list (Configuration menu → Scenarios): tap the play button on the scenario's row.
  • The home screen's Scene of the moment card — "tap to activate".
  • Any view where the scenario has been placed (see “Custom Views”).

Creating or editing a scenario

  1. Open Configuration → Scenarios and tap Create a scenario (or tap an existing one to edit it).
  2. Give it a name and tap the icon to open Choose an icon.
  3. Optionally enable Show in Favorite and Show on home (a quick-launch pill in the home menu).
  4. Under Included Devices, tap Add Devices.
  5. Search with Search a device or narrow the list with the Room and Category filter chips, select the devices, then tap Add N device(s). Devices already included are marked "Already in the scenario".
  6. Tap the first device in the list. In its window, set the state the scenario must apply, then tap Save state. The window matches the device type: on/off, level %, color, position, mode (Comfort / Standby / Night), fan speed (Low / Medium / High), volume, arm state (Arm / Partial / Disarm), Locked / Unlocked, Charging, and so on. The device's row now shows that target.
  7. Repeat for every other device.
  8. Tap Save. The app returns to the Scenarios list. Nothing is stored before this step, and leaving the editor with the back arrow discards the draft without asking.
  9. In the list, tap the play button on the scenario's row to test it. It runs at once, without confirmation.

⚠️ Warning: A device you only add, without opening it and tapping Save state, has no target. The scenario skips it without any message.

📘 Note: A new scenario has no Run button. Run appears in the editor's header once the scenario is saved and reopened.

Automatic execution — schedules

A scenario can run itself on up to 3 schedules. The slots are listed in the scenario's editor under SCHEDULES (the counter shows, for example, "1 of 3"); a slot that is not set reads "Specific · Disabled".

  1. Open the scenario's editor and switch Automatic on. With Automatic off, no slot runs.
  2. Under SCHEDULES, tap a slot.
  3. Turn on the switch at the top of the window so that it reads Active. A new slot is Disabled, and a disabled slot never runs. Each slot is enabled independently.
  4. Choose the type: Weekly (select the days under DAYS and set the time under TIME) or Specific (one calendar date under DATE and a time). Minutes move in 5-minute steps.
  5. Tap Save schedule. The slot's row shows the time and the days, and a "next run" line appears under Automatic.
  6. Tap Save at the top of the editor. Until then nothing is scheduled: Automatic, Active and Save schedule only change the open editor.

⚠️ Warning: Select at least one day for a Weekly slot. A weekly slot without a day is accepted but never runs.

The next run is shown in the scenario's editor, under the Automatic switch, as a weekday and a time ("next run Monday 19:00"). The Scenarios list does not show it.

📘 Note: The time you enter is the server's local time, and the server runs the slot when its own clock reaches it. The schedules are checked once a minute; a run whose minute passes while the server is off or restarting is not caught up.

Duplicating and deleting

  • Duplicate — in the Scenarios list, tap the copy icon on the scenario's row. The copy is saved at once; open it, rename it and adjust its targets. It is a quick way to build variants.
  • Delete — open the scenario and tap the bin icon in the editor's header (Delete this scene). Deleting asks for confirmation: "This scenario will be permanently deleted."
