I am looking at Homey as the next step on my Home Automation journey (HomeSeer to Hubitat and now looking). One of the things I like about Hubitat is that you can define scenes and capture the current settings of the lights in that scene. That makes set up really simple, does Homey have a similar or simple mechanism to create scenes? Steve ---

Hello Steve, and welcome. I hope I have understood you correctly. I have six Hue lights in my living room. These are controlled in Homey via “Flow” and play a routine with different colours and brightness levels every evening. There is also a programme that saves the status of devices at certain moments and can restore them at the touch of a button if they have been changed. Homey uses what are known as Advanced Flows. These allow you to create and save complex scenes on a laptop, for example. ---

There’s also community apps which are able to capture states, in order to create and recall predefined scenes (not available for “Homey Cloud” instances): > [@\[APP\] Smart (Components) Toolkit (was: Boolean Toolbox) - Create advanced logic with simple formulas](https://community.homey.app/t/app-smart-components-toolkit-was-boolean-toolbox-create-advanced-logic-with-simple-formulas/143906): > > Smart (Components) Toolkit v1.8.0books Full Documentation: [Smart (Components) Toolkit for Homey](https://tiwas.github.io/SmartComponentsToolkit/) Replace complex flow networks with powerful logic devices controlled by dynamic formulas.
