I just added scene handling on my fork of HueConnect SmartApp. This will allow you to create a push button for each scene you want to trigger from smartthings.
Remove all your existing bulbs / and HueConnect SmartApp.
Then create a new smartapp in IDE from code and also add each devices type you can find under HueDevices folder.
Updates
This application will not list the stock scenes (who want then after all).
TIPS: On the hue application when you create a new scene, trigger it once, and also trigger the off button on the left when you click on the scene (where you can also change the luminosity). Then you can add it to smarthtings using the smartApp. This will allow you to turn off the scene from smartthings as well (When you manually trigger the Off button on the Hue application this will generate a hidden scene to turn of the current scene). This can be done after you added the scene as well.

Do I need to uninstall the hue hub and then reconnect using this app?

When I install it, it finds my hub, my bulbs, and my scenes⌠Even the deleted scenes⌠But when I click done, It gives me the red unexpected error message.
I removed all my bulbs, bridge and connect smart app. Then installed your new app and device types. Discovered my bridge, imported lights and scenes. All worked okay.
You can trigger scene from whatever you want as it create a switch/push button. This is not meant to change bulbs color, this is meant to launch a Hue Scene (which is almost the same in fact).
I also found that when installing bulbs you cannot install more than 20 at one time. You must add 20 first and then if you have more, go back to the SmartApp to add the rest or it will error out.

Ok, so I create a scene called âthe moodâ.
The app now sees these scenes as bulbs.
I give echo rights to the scene âbulbâ.
I then say, âAlexa, turn on the moodâ.
Alexa should then turn on the vs and the scene changes?
I canât experiment right now cause Iâm at work, so I appreciate your time.
Also, this is what my app sees now⌠The hue connect sees the scenes as bulbs. I have only 4 bulbs, the other 44 are scenes.
The are now two versions of the hue app. Is that right? Hue connect, & hue reconnect.
(When you manually trigger the Off button on the Hue application this will generate a hidden scene to turn of the current scene). This can be done after you added the scene as well.
