LIGHTS & SCENES

Dim a light without opening another screen.

Highlight a light or a Hue room in the device list. Its physical controls are ready immediately; brightness and scene changes appear in a temporary card.

Scenes belong to rooms

In the web UI, edit a room to add Hue lights, Hue rooms and scenes from its bridge. The Scenes button at the bottom of the device list opens that room’s scene choices. Select a scene and press OK to recall it.

Read the status at a glance

Light icons brighten when on and fade when off. Room icons reflect the reported state of their devices. A Hue room is a bridge group, so its brightness control affects the lights in that group.

These are the default list controls. Activity button mappings can route volume and other keys to a different device while that activity is active.
