Run Scene

Category: Action

Executes a HomeKit scene, applying all of its pre-configured device settings at once. Scenes are created in the Apple Home app and can control multiple devices simultaneously.

When to use

• Activate a "Good Night" scene that turns off all lights and locks doors
• Trigger a "Movie Mode" scene that dims lights and closes blinds
• Apply any pre-configured scene from your Apple Home setup

Configuration

• Scene — Select from your available HomeKit scenes

Output data

• {{ nodes['<id>'].data.sceneId }} — The scene ID that was executed
• {{ nodes['<id>'].data.success }} — true if the scene executed successfully

Examples

Sunset triggers evening mode:

1. Schedule → sunset
2. Run Scene → "Evening Lights"

Motion triggers welcome scene:

1. Device Changed → front door sensor, motion detected
2. Run Scene → "Welcome Home"
3. Delay → 30 minutes
4. Run Scene → "Normal Lighting"

Tips

• Scenes are the fastest way to control multiple devices at once — HomeKit optimises scene execution
• If you need more control than a scene provides, use multiple Set Device actions instead
• Scenes are managed in the Apple Home app — changes there are reflected immediately in Homecast
