Creating Scenes Scenes are used to assign one or more devices to a preset timer. For example, a scene named “Evening” could be created that turns on a pool or spa light, and an auxiliary device such as a waterfall at the same time each evening.
A scene can also be manually turned on or off. If multiple devices are assigned to a scene, they will turn on or off simultaneously when the scene is turned on or off.
