Scenes and automations are features in smart home technology that allow users to control multiple devices with a single action or schedule a set of actions to occur automatically.
A scene is a pre-configured set of actions that can be triggered by a single command. For example, a "movie night" scene might dim the lights, turn on the TV and sound system, and close the blinds.
