I have some Cync lights with matter support, so I've connected them directly to HA through matter over WiFi. Doing so results in a functioning color changing light - but I lose access to all of the scenes from the Cync app, things like candlelight, aurora, rainbow, color rotate, pulse, etc.
How do I recreate some of these effects in HA using scenes? Do I need an add on? What do people use?

Ha supports scenes, but I don't find it useful, because of the way scenes work in HA.
I wrote a script that sends commands to all the lights, so when I need to run scene, the script runs instead

Wondering if a plug-in exists to solve this problem

plugin will still run the script, so it is the same if you do it on your own. This is general use-case in HA
The problem I have with my Hue lights is that when I have them exposed to HA with Zigbee natively, to enable the effect on the light, one needs to run 2 commands: turn on, set effect. With scene in HA, native one, you can only set the color/brightness because the HA will run the turn on command. But you cannot send further commands after
Scene is kind-of "capture-state" and is not always useful.

Hmmm okay. I guess i was hoping someone had already made something to make this easier - like a set of prebuilt animated lighting effects that I could just throw an entity Id at.
I've never done any HA scripting so not really sure how to best build these types of effects
