Hi,
Just new to hubitat (I m about to bring my Smartthings automations on hubitat) and I cant find any way to detect scene from wifi devices... On smartthings I could detect scene created inside wifi devices app. Those scenes were within ST app and also alexa app... So I could create automation to trigger those scenes.... I was wondering if its possible with HE to see those scene? For example, I have wifi dimmer that are connected from feith electric app. Inside the app I have created some scene like: turn off, turn on, dim to 50% etc and those scene are detected by the smartthing app so I can trigger it.
Thanks!
Generally speaking (there are some exceptions) scenes are created on HE using the groups and scenes or room lighting apps. In most cases HE does not have visibility to scenes created in a third party application. However, the functionality is more or less the same.
Wifi device integration is a topic all on its own. There are some wifi devices supported natively, generally ones that have local integration available. There are others that are supported by the community. But it's a bit of a crap shoot.
Depending on how they are in the Alexa app, you may be able trigger them from HE using a virtual switch, i.e. vSceneSwitch turns on in HE, Alexa sees that and triggers the scene.
yes, that is the same process with ST the only difference is that I cant see those scene inside the app wich is maybe not bad because I had 2 times the same scene (one in ST app and one in alexa app). If I only have the one in alexa app and use virtual devices to trigger it it would be just as it was... I hate those wifi devices, its always offline and need to restart the router for any thing like power outage...!
Thanks!
