# Settings - Scenes

Rules are the heart of home automation. Scenes are special types of rules, which require no coding. Scenes allow you to define an Item and its respective state very easily and combine multiple of them as a collection of item actions to be run. Note that the Scenes do not support triggers or conditions and need to be explicitly triggered via a page or a rule.

A comprehensive introduction to scenes can be found at the scenes tutorial.

On this page you can manage all the scenes you have added to your system:

  • Add new Scenes

  • Enable/Disable Scenes
    Use the pause buttons on the individual scene pages.
  • Manually run Scenes
    Use the play button on the individual scene pages to have the scene run immediately.
