Configuration

4 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultConstraintsExample
scene_id
UUID of the scene to apply, as returned in the 'id' of a philips_hue.list_scenes row.
stringYes——b7cbeb4d-e0c8-4f1e-9e0f-0a0f9d0b5f21
action
How to apply the scene: 'active' plays it as stored, while 'dynamic_palette' and 'static' need the scene to carry a palette.
stringNoactiveone of "active", "dynamic_palette", "static"—
duration_ms
How long the transition to the new state should take, in milliseconds. Left unset, the light changes at its default speed.
numberNo—0–216000001000
brightness
Overrides the scene's own brightness, as a percentage of each light's range. Left unset, the scene's stored levels are used.
numberNo—0–10060

  "duration_ms": 1000,
  "scene_id": "b7cbeb4d-e0c8-4f1e-9e0f-0a0f9d0b5f21"

See Recall Scene run in a workflow.

In a technical demo we add the Philips Hue connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
