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’ll need to edit them before they’ll work.

You can create a scene and add accessories to it.
