Question: Suggested scenes when pairing accessory #278

Closed peros550 closed 4 years ago

peros550 commented 4 years ago

I recently bought a Yeelight color bulb which started to support homekit after a firmware update. In order to add the bulb to Home app, you needed to use the Yeelight app which has an "Add to Home" button. The button seems to trigger an iOS API that starts the pairing process.

After you have chosen room, during the pairing process, there is one additional step in which iOS asks to add your new accessory in the list of suggested scenes see example

I was wondering if there is something we could do in the definition of our accessories to have same suggestion during pairing.

Thanks in advance,

I think this is how it's done in iOS 13 - they ask for a scenes to include accessory in.
