A user can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can contain that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red. Deactivating a scene will restore the previous state from before the scene was activated. Just like scripts, scenes have their own separate page to see which scenes are on.
Scenes can be activated using the service scene.turn_on and deactivated using the service scene.turn_off.

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
scene:
  - name: Romantic
    entities:
      light.tv_back_light: on
      light.ceiling:
        state: on
        color: [0.33, 0.66]
        brightness: 200
       
 - name: all_lights_on
   entities:
      group.all_lights:
        state: on

 - name: all_lights_off
   entities:
      group.all_lights:
        state: off

```
