Room Scenes

Hue-style room scenes for Home Assistant. No bridge or vendor app required.

Room Scenes builds on your Home Assistant areas. Every area with lights becomes a room with its own scenes, a brightness slider and a gradient that shows what the lights are doing right now. Scenes are real scene.* entities, so you can use them in dashboards, automations, voice assistants and on remotes.

Features

• Rooms from your areas. Lights are picked up automatically, including lights on devices in that area.
• My scenes per room. You can save the current lights, a gallery preset, or a scene you build light by light with a colour wheel and white-temperature slider. Edits preview live on your lamps.
• Scene gallery. Includes the full preset collection from Scene Presets. Tap one to try it in the room, then save it as a scene.
• Dynamic scenes. Colours slowly drift through a preset's palette.
• Active scene tracking. The room shows which scene is on. It clears the scene as soon as someone changes a light.
• Relative room brightness. Like Hue, the room slider scales all lights relative to each other instead of setting them all to the same level.
• Scene entities. One scene.<room>_<scene> per scene, already placed in the right area.
• Zigbee2MQTT scene sync (optional). Scenes can be stored on the lamps as native Zigbee scenes. Recall then uses one group command, so lamps switch in sync with no "popcorn" effect, and it works even when Home Assistant is down.
• Lovelace card. custom:room-scenes-card shows a room tile plus its scenes. It loads automatically, so you don't need to add a resource.
• English and Dutch UI, light and dark theme.

Installation (HACS)

1. HACS → ⋮ → Custom repositories → add this repository as type Integration.
2. Install Room Scenes and restart Home Assistant.
3. Settings → Devices & services → Add integration → Room Scenes.
4. Open Room Scenes in the sidebar.

Make sure your lights are assigned to areas. Room Scenes only shows areas that contain at least one light.

Zigbee2MQTT scene sync

1. Create a Zigbee2MQTT group with the lamps of a room. You probably already have one if you use binding.
2. In Room Scenes, open the room → ⚙ → pick the group. A matching group is marked (suggested).
3. Save or re-save a scene. Room Scenes puts the lamps in the scene's state and sends scene_store to the group.

When you activate the scene, Room Scenes sends a single scene_recall to the group. Room lights that are not in the group are still set through Home Assistant. Dynamic scenes always run through Home Assistant.

Each Zigbee group gets its own scene IDs (1–254). Deleting a scene also removes it from the lamps.

Remote: cycle through scenes

Map a button (for example the Hue button on a Hue dimmer) to:

action: room_scenes.cycle_scenes
data:
  area_id: keuken

The scene order can be changed under room settings (⚙).

Services

Service	Purpose
room_scenes.activate_scene	Activate by room scene ID or scene.* entity
room_scenes.cycle_scenes	Next scene in a room
room_scenes.set_room_brightness	Relative room brightness (1–100 %)
room_scenes.apply_preset	Apply a gallery preset to any target (Scene Presets compatible)
room_scenes.start_dynamic_scene / stop_*	Dynamic scenes (Scene Presets compatible)

Dashboard card

type: custom:room-scenes-card
area: woonkamer
show_scenes: true        # optional, default true
tap_action: open_panel   # or "none"

Development

npm install
npm run build      # builds custom_components/room_scenes/frontend/*.js
npm run watch

The frontend uses Preact and esbuild and is fully self-styled, so it doesn't depend on internal Home Assistant elements apart from ha-icon and ha-card.
