How to save and recall room scenes

Save and recall a room scene

Use group_query to select the native provider room or zone, inspect its declared scene messages, and request fresh expand: ["scene"] observations. To recall an existing scene, send its declared scene/activate message through control with {"sceneId":"<ID from available-scenes>"} and the selected group and route IDs.

To save a new scene, set and verify the requested member light states first. On a group that declares scene/create-scene, send {"name":"<scene name>"} with waitForResult: true. This captures the current member lighting settings without activating them; it returns scene-created with sceneId and name. Hue names allow at most 32 characters and all members must be reachable with readable state. Read the group's scenes again to confirm creation, then use the returned ID to activate it.

After recall, fresh-read each affected light's power, brightness and supported color observations. A scene label or accepted command does not prove that every light changed. Keep the selected provider route; never substitute another room or create a local-only scene. Inspect available scenes after an uncertain create instead of automatically retrying it.
