A scene in Home Assistant is a collection of entities and their states. Scenes are used to set a predefined state for a group of entities. For example, a scene can be used to set the lights in your living room to a specific color and brightness or to set your media player’s volume to a specific level and all restored to that stored state when the scene is activated.
Spook enhances the scene integration of Home Assistant by raising repairs issues in case it detects something is wrong with a scene.
Devices & entities¶
Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.
Services¶
Spook does not provide service enhancements for this integration.
Repairs¶
While Spook is floating around in your Home Assistant instance, it will raise repairs issues if it has found something that is not right.
Unknown referenced entities¶
Scenes are inspected for the use of entities. If a scene uses an entity ID that does not exist, Spook will raise a repair issue. The repairs issue raised will contain the name of the scene and the entity ID that is referenced but not found.
Figure 1:Spook found an issue with a scene that is using non-existing entities.
To resolve the raised issue, you can either remove the reference to the non-existing entity ID or fix the referenced entity ID. Spook will automatically remove the repair issue once the issue is fixed.
