Scenes in the Spotlight

When configured, you can also run the scenes directly from the Spotlight in iOS. Just swipe down on any screen to activate spotlight and depending on our habits, the scene may be waiting for you, or you can also start typing the name of the scene. Suggestions should present you the scene from the Home Center app so you can run quickly from this screen.
