Scene Controller
A scene controller sends multi-tap and hold events that trigger scenes and automations beyond the load it switches. A single keypad or switch can drive many actions across the whole home.
A scene controller reports button events, not just the state of its own load. Home Assistant distinguishes single, double, triple, and longer presses, so one in-wall switch or keypad can run a different routine for each gesture while still controlling its wired circuit.
How Selora AI uses scene controllers
- Whole-home scenes such as a double-tap at the door that runs a goodnight routine across lights, locks, and climate.
- Extra controls without extra wiring by mapping taps on an existing switch to devices elsewhere in the home.
- Local control so every tap is handled on the hub and triggers instantly, with no cloud round-trip.
Why scene controllers matter for installers
Multi-tap control turns switches the client already touches into a home-wide remote, adding function without adding clutter. The events are handled locally, so scenes fire the moment a paddle is pressed.
