- Temperature scene: Perfectly set the mood for reading or falling asleep by adjusting the temperature of your lights between white, soft white, cool white, or daylight. Temperature scenes are available on all Roku Smart Home lights.
- Color scene: Light up your room with your favorite color to match the mood and complement your room. Color scenes are available on the Roku Smart Bulb SE Color and smart light strips.
