The Fibaro Home Center Lite Controller does not support LUA Scenes. LUA Scenes enable you to create very sophisticated scenes, far more complex than the basic "If / Then" format offered by the Graphical Block Editor.

These types of scenes allow you to do almost anything, but do require basic programming skills. LUA Scenes are the most advanced scenes available and are based on the LUA programming (scripting) language.

They are restricted to only one trigger and one action. Similarly, Magic Scenes are also available across the whole range of Fibaro Home Center Controllers and offer a simpler way to create scenes. More information is available in - Creating Scenes in the Fibaro Home Center Magic Scenes These scenes can have multiple triggers and multiple actions. The Graphical Block Editor enables you to create relatively sophisticated scenes using a number of customisable blocks. The Graphical Block Editor is available in all the Fibaro Home Center Controllers. Fibaro Home Center Controllers offer three ways to create Scenes - Graphical Block Editor Scenes, Magic Scenes and LUA Scenes. They form an important function of your home automation system. Scenes can be triggered from other devices (such as sensors) or from external events (such as the weather). Scenes enable you to control multiple devices all at the same time.
