#Scenes without HA

No worries. Thank you!

So essentially there are two ways to do this, both require you to use Z-Wave JS UI to configure.
- Direct associations:
This allows devices to send each other commands, e.g. turn lights on/off when you press a button on a scene controller. Or have two smart switches in a virtual 3-way connection. You'll find this under "groups" in Z-UI.
These let you build simple "automations", but still can be pretty damn complicated depending on the devices involved (send from endpoints or not, send to endpoints or not, which groups to use) and the information you need should be described in the device manuals.
Just know that in 95% of the cases you need the devices to have the same security class, i.e. all insecure or all S2 Authenticated, or ...
- Scene Actuator Configuration CC or Scene Controller Configuration CC (I think)
In contrast to associations, not many devices support this, but it gives you a more control over which commands are sent to which devices when a scene on the device is enabled.
Theoretically (I haven't tested), this should allow you to say: "when I enable scene 1, dim the devices in group 1 to 50% and turn group 2 off"

Ok, so i am using zwave js ui! I believe I have already done #1 as I used groups to associate switches together for 3 way configurations of switches. I can’t seem to find any instructions on how to do #2 or where it is in the UI though.
