Scenes should be stateless. Otherwise you’ll run into issues as two scenes contain the same items. ´
- scene1: light1 50%, light2 50%, light3 100%
- scene2: light4 100%, light5 100%
- scene3: light3 0%, light4 100%
Now consider the following situations:
- scene1, later scene2
- scene1, later scene3
- scene2, later scene3
Which ones are active at the end?
- I would say both, they are independent.
- I would say only scene3, because a part of scene1 is overwritten by a new setting
- I don’t know. scene3 overwrites a part of scene2, but on the other hand it is the same value.
It’s nearly impossible to track that for more difficult setups (which is the reason why hue or deconz consider scenes to be stateless).
