Good evening

Thank you for this awesome utility. Sadly i have issues loading scenes using your utility. i tried loading a scene using:

hueadm scene 0iuextZLLkiIGi4

Here's the output:

name: W50B lights:

i'd be glad if you could point me in the right direction. Thank you

Kind regards Beersteve

So that output looks right to me... the hueadm scene(s) commands are just used to get/modify/delete scenes.... not "recall" (load) them.

See: https://developers.meethue.com/documentation/scenes-api#44_recall_scene

To recall an existing scene you use the Groups API. Check out the Groups API set group state for details.

There is no builtin method with hueadm to do this (unfortunately! i'd welcome it) but you can do something like this:

$ echo '{"scene":"96AdAhdKe6vY99Z"}' | hueadm group 1

Hopefully this helps!
