    Hi All

    Late to the game of smart lighting I just picked up a Philips Hue color B22 starter pack. I have it set up with one bulb in a lamp in sitting room, one in bed room and one in Bathroom.

    I have set it up in Alexa and I can turn on and off the lights and change the colors with voice commands. However I have not figured out if and how I can have Alexa set a specific scene i.e. Savannah Sunset. So I am wondering of one of the more experienced folks here could tell me if this is possible and if yes, is there some configuration I missed or maybe I am not giving Alexa the correct command.

    I ask "Alexa, set living room to Savannah Sunset" or "Set living room scene to Savannah Sunset" and I get the response "I don't know how to set living room to that setting".

    TIA for any advice.


    *** Edit ***

    It's ok, I got sorted. I was giving the wrong voice command. The voice command required is "Alexa, turn on <scene name> in <location>.
