Lighting Scene Control?

[Marco]

I have been waiting to see if SmartThings is going to update their app to allow for more individual dimming settings on lights that are linked to one scene. Example, I have 6 different lights and want lights 1&2 to be at 50% lights 3&4 at 75% and 5&6 to be at 90% but connected to one scene.

Maybe Rule Machine can do what you want.

Rule machine - as per the app developer, this app is no longer available for new installs, distribution, or support

[quote=“bravenel, post:556, topic:28730”] Removed “At Certain Time” condition due to unreliability (use Time of Day instead, with two different times) [/quote] Although this change doesn’t impact me, it breaks backward compatibility. Since Rule Machine has a limit of one time/date condition, if someone previously had a rule with both, it will now be broken. For example, set for a Certain Time OR Time of day (completely different times)… that previous single rule will now have to be split into two rules, each using ‘Time of day.’ I think it might be better to retain Certain Time and just include a warning.

Rule Machine supports two different dimmer levels per Rule, so it can’t quite reach to what he wants in a single rule. Could use two rules, with same conditions, to get 4 dimmer levels.

I am also looking for a solution. Did you happen to find anything?

You could give superState a shot.
If it works for you great, if not there are other scene capture utilities out there as well.

BETA call for superState scene app (all better now!)

I know right, yet another scene app, should have just named it YASA. Anyway, bit of a twist to this one. –One app to manage multiple device groups with multiple scenes for each device group. –Virtual switches are created for each scene, these are used to turn on and off the scene –Within each device group, the scene activation switches manage each other, meaning activating a given scene turns off a previously turned on scene. So only one scene within a given group can be on at a given time. –Scene snapshots are taken via each scenes virtual device tile. –Supports switches, dimmers and color devices (tested with hues and Fibaros). –Supports adding and removing devices within the device groups after they have been created. –Virtual switch indication (yellow warning) when a given sce…

This all sounds overly complex when the Smartthings app could easily do scenes natively: all we need is dim level per light when creating Routines. Simple enough and straightforward.

Exactly as @devedsmith is saying - when you are setting the routine, there should be level per each light. And I also want to change my bulbs colors or ambiente if it supports it, or set some HUE scene. For example I want to have all my ambiente bulb yellowish tint after 7pm - its more relaxing for eyes.

“easily”? if anything was easy they would have added entry and exit delays on Smart Home Monitor ages ago.
