scene

name	scene
description	Activate predefined lighting scene presets (reading, focus, relax, movie, night, energize) when the user asks for activity-based or environment lighting. Scenes control both color temperature AND brightness. Do NOT use for specific colors (use LED Control) or emotion expression (use Emotion).

Lighting Scenes

Quick Start

Activate predefined lighting presets that set optimal color temperature and brightness for specific activities. Use this for ALL activity-based or environment lighting requests.

Workflow

1. Determine which scene matches the user's request or activity
2. Prefix reply with [HW:/scene:{"scene":"name"}] — Lamp fires it before TTS
3. Confirm the scene activation to the user
4. Optionally chain emotion: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"night"}][HW:/emotion:{"emotion":"sleepy","intensity":0.7}]

Examples

Input: "Reading mode" Output: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"reading"}] Reading mode activated — 80% brightness, neutral white.

Input: "Goodnight" / "good night" / "time to sleep" Output: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"night"}][HW:/emotion:{"emotion":"sleepy","intensity":0.7}] Night mode on. Sweet dreams!

Input: "I want to relax" / "let me chill" Output: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"relax"}] Relax mode — warm, gentle light at 40%.

Input: "Movie time" / "watching a movie" Output: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"movie"}] Movie mode — dim amber bias lighting.

Input: "I need to focus" Output: [HW:/scene:{"scene":"focus"}] Focus mode — full brightness, cool white.

Input: "Make it purple" Output: Do NOT use this skill. Use LED Control skill instead.

Input: Conversational reply needing emotion Output: Do NOT use this skill for emotion. Use Emotion skill instead (you CAN use both Scene + Emotion together).

How to Activate a Scene

No exec/curl needed. Inline marker at start of reply:

[HW:/scene:{"scene":"reading"}] Reading mode activated.
[HW:/scene:{"scene":"night"}][HW:/emotion:{"emotion":"sleepy","intensity":0.7}] Night mode on. Sweet dreams!

Available scenes

Scene	Brightness	Color Temp	Best for
reading	80%	~4000K neutral white	Reading, studying, desk work
focus	100%	~5000K cool white	Deep work, coding, no distractions
relax	40%	~2700K warm	Winding down, casual chat
movie	15%	~2700K dim amber	Watching videos, bias lighting
night	5%	~2200K very warm	Sleep-friendly, minimal light
energize	100%	~6500K daylight	Morning wake-up, need energy

Error Handling

• If the API returns an error or is unreachable, inform the user: "I couldn't change the lighting scene right now. The hardware service may be unavailable."
• If the user requests a scene that does not exist, suggest the closest available scene from the table above.

Rules

• Scene = brightness + color. This is why you must use Scene instead of direct LED for ambiance. LED /led/solid is always 100% brightness — useless for sleep/relax.
• "sleepy", "goodnight", "time to sleep", "going to bed" -> ALWAYS use night (5% brightness, ultra-dim).
• "relax", "chill", "unwind" -> use relax (40%).
• "watch a movie", "movie" -> use movie (15%).
• After activating a scene, you can ALSO call Emotion to show your personality — emotion is a brief reaction, scene is the persistent ambient light.
• You can switch scenes smoothly — just call the endpoint, the LED update is immediate.
• Scene off: [HW:/scene/off:{}] deactivates the current scene and returns to idle state (restores camera, speaker, servo, idle LED). Use when:
  • User says "normal mode" / "turn off scene" / "back to normal"
  • Current scene doesn't match the time of day — switch to appropriate scene OR turn off
  • "Turn off the light" → use LED Control skill (/led/off), not Scene
• For custom lighting beyond these presets, use the LED Control skill directly with specific RGB values.
• Do NOT use for specific color requests -> use LED Control skill.
• Do NOT use for expressing emotion -> use Emotion skill.
