=================

scenes Adapter can create scenes and execute them in ioBroker environment.

This adapter can create three types of scenes:

• scenes
• groups
• virtual groups

Scenes will be created if setting "set on false" are not used. Every scene can be configured individually, so you can have scenes and groups in one instance of adapter. The scene is just list of states id and values, that these states must have by activation of the scene. E.g. we have created on scene "scene.allLightInBath":

  scene.allLightInBath
  |- hm-rpc.0.BOTTOM_LIGHT.STATE  - true
  +- hm-rpc.0.TOP_LIGHT.STATE     - true

To activate scene we must set "scene.allLightInBath" to true (e.g over script or vis). Then both states will be set to desired values, to true. The value of scene.allLightInBath will be true too. If we manually switch of the top light the value of the scene.allLightInBath will go to false. And again to true if we will switch manually the light on.

Let's add to the scene the fan:

  scene.allLightInBath
  |- hm-rpc.0.BOTTOM_LIGHT.STATE  - true
  |- hm-rpc.0.TOP_LIGHT.STATE     - true
  |- hm-rpc.0.FAN.STATE          - true
  |- hm-rpc.0.FAN.STATE          - false (delay 60000ms)

In this case the fan will be switched on ba activation of the scene and will be switched off in one minute. After the fan will be switched off the value of scene.allLightInBath will go to false, because not all states are equal to desired values. States with delay are not participate in calculations.

You can test the scene with a "play" button. Additionally you can link this scene direct with other scene ID. E.g if you have a sensor on the door you can select it as a trigger:

  trigger
    id:        hm-rpc.0.DOOR_SENSOR.STATE
    condition: ==
    value:     true

And every time you will open the door in the bath all lights with fan will be switched on.

Groups are like virtual channels. You can create with the help of groups virtual device from several actuators and control them together, like one device. Let's modify our sample with bath's lights.

  scene.allLightInBath             "set on true"    "set on false" 
  |- hm-rpc.0.BOTTOM_LIGHT.STATE  - true             false
  +- hm-rpc.0.TOP_LIGHT.STATE     - true             false

If you will link this group with the door sensor like:

  trigger on true
    id:        hm-rpc.0.DOOR_SENSOR.STATE
    condition: ==
    value:     true

  trigger on false
    id:        hm-rpc.0.DOOR_SENSOR.STATE
    condition: ==
    value:     false

Every time you will open the door all lights in a bath will be switched on. The value of the scene.allLightInBath will go to true. If you will close the door the lights will be switched off. And the value of scene.allLightInBath will go to false.

It is useless, but it is good as an example.

If you will manually switch on one light, the value of the scene.allLightInBath will go to uncertain.

Delays can be used in the group too, but the states with delay are not participate in calculations of the current value of group.

Virtual groups are like virtual channels and like groups, but can have any kind of values: numbers, strings and so on. You can create virtual group to control all shutters in living room. By writing 40% into virtual group all shutters will be set to 40%.
