Use scenes to control multiple Home accessories on Mac
Scenes allow you to control multiple accessories at once. For example, you might define a “Reading” scene that adjusts the lights, closes the blinds and adjusts the thermostat. Home has some typical scenes already defined for you, but you need to edit them before they work.
Create a new scene
You can create a scene and add accessories to it.
In the Home app
on your Mac, click the Add button
, then click Add Scene.
Type a name for the scene (you may have to click Custom first).
You can also click the default icon to choose a different icon.
Click Add Accessories, then click the accessories that you want to add to the scene. Click Done, then click Done.
Run a scene
In the Home app
on your Mac, click Home or a room in the sidebar, then click a scene.
