Hue Scene Selector

Automatically creates dropdown selectors for every Hue room.

No YAML. No typing scene names. Just install and go.

What It Does

1. Auto-discovers all your Hue rooms/zones
2. Creates a dropdown (select.bedroom_scenes, select.family_room_scenes, etc.) for each room
3. Populates scenes automatically—no manual entry
4. Updates dynamically when you add/remove scenes in the Hue app
5. Activates scenes via the native hue.hue_activate_scene service

Installation

HACS (Recommended)

1. Open HACS in Home Assistant
2. Click the three dots menu → Custom repositories
3. Add this repository URL and select "Integration"
4. Search for "Hue Scene Selector" and install
5. Restart Home Assistant

Manual

1. Copy the custom_components/hue_scene_selector folder to your Home Assistant config/custom_components/ directory
2. Restart Home Assistant

Setup

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration
2. Search for "Hue Scene Selector"
3. Select your Hue bridge
4. Done! Dropdowns are created for each room.

Usage

After setup, you'll have entities like:

• select.bedroom_scenes
• select.family_room_scenes
• select.kitchen_scenes

Dashboard Card (Mushroom)

type: custom:mushroom-select-card
entity: select.bedroom_scenes
name: Bedroom Scenes
icon: mdi:palette
layout: horizontal

Standard Card

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: select.bedroom_scenes
  - entity: select.family_room_scenes

How It Works

This integration:

1. Scans all scene.* entities in Home Assistant
2. Matches them to Hue rooms by parsing entity IDs (e.g., scene.bedroom_bright → Bedroom)
3. Creates a SelectEntity for each room with that room's scenes as options
4. When you select a scene, it calls hue.hue_activate_scene with the correct room and scene names

Requirements

• Home Assistant 2024.1.0 or newer
• Philips Hue integration already configured

Troubleshooting

No entities created?

• Make sure the Hue integration is set up and scenes are visible in Developer Tools → States (search for scene.)

Missing room?

• The integration detects rooms by checking for a matching light.* entity. If your room doesn't have a light group, scenes won't be grouped correctly.
