<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-hue-scenes-in-home-assistant" href="#using-hue-scenes-in-home-assistant"></a> Using Hue Scenes in Home Assistant</h3>
<p>The Hue platform has it’s own concept of Scenes for setting the colors of a group of lights at once. Hue Scenes are very cheap, get created by all kinds of apps (as it is the only way to have 2 or more lights change at the same time), and are rarely deleted. A typical Hue hub might have hundreds of scenes stored in them, many that you’ve never used, almost all very poorly named.</p>
<p>To avoid user interface overload we don’t expose Scenes directly. Instead there is a <a href="/components/light/#service-lighthue_activate_scene">light.hue_activate_scene</a> service which can be used by <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">script</code> components. For

This will have all the bulbs transitioned at once, instead of one at a time using standard scenes in Home Assistant.
For instance:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">script</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">porch_on</span><span class="pi">:</span>

<p><em>** Finding Group and Scene Names **</em></p>
<p>How do you find these names?</p>
<p>The easiest way to do this is only use the scenes from the 2nd generation Hue app. That is organized by Room (Group) and Scene
