Creating scenes in the FIBARO for HomeKit app

Introduction

HomeKit allows to create scenes and automations to free the potential of a smart home. Scene in HomeKit is a group of devices and their parameters set in a given arrangement, configuration. They can be activated manually, using Siri, or via the automation.

 

Scenes vs. Groups

HomeKit allows users to group devices for better managing. Grouping improves usability because you can turn on or off a few devices at once, with just one Siri command or one tap.

Scenes, however, allows to do much more advanced device arrangement because you can select devices together with its parameters. For example, you can have one device to turn off and another to turn on programmed as a one scene.
