This allows you to easily set your mood or fit any special occasion. For example, you can create a "Movie Time" scene to turn on your home theater system plugged into a Smart Plug and dim the lights in your Entertainment Room to 10% simultaneously.

Note: Scenes can only be set and controlled once you are signed into your Kasa account.

(Visual description: Kasa app screenshot of the 'Scenes' view, showing preset scenes like 'Good Morning', 'Good Night', 'Movie Night', and an option to create a 'Custom' scene.)
