Step S101: Receive an instruction input by the user, and enter a scene adding interface from the scene homepage. Among them, the scene can be to go to work, go home, exercise or sleep. The command may be input by the user by clicking a virtual button on the touch screen of the terminal, or by sliding the virtual button input, or by other reasonably feasible means.

Step S102: Select one or more smart home devices to add to the current scene, and set parameter information of the selected smart home device. The above parameter information includes at least one of the following: an execution action, an operation mode, an execution condition, and an execution time. The execution action is on or off; the work mode is the work mode when the smart home device is turned on; the execution condition is the condition for performing the opening or closing; the execution time is the time of opening or closing. Smart home devices can determine if they need to turn the device on or off, depending on their environment.

In step S103, the name of the current scene is determined.

In step S104, the current scene is saved.

Through the method of the above embodiment, the scene function is set, and the user can follow his own Habitually set the scene, when the user chooses to enter a set scene, it can realize one-key control of multiple devices in the scene, get rid of the original monotonous one-to-one control; control multiple devices at the same time, without having to control one by one Easy to operate, saves time and improves user experience.

After the current scenario is saved, the method may further include: selecting a scenario to enter in the scenario homepage, and controlling the corresponding smart home device according to the parameter information of the smart home device in the selected scenario. When the user chooses to enter a certain set scene, multiple buttons can be controlled to control multiple devices in the scene, which is easy to operate, saves time, and improves user experience.

In an embodiment, step S102 can be implemented in the following two ways:

(1) Select all the smart home devices that need to be added to the current scene, and then set the parameter information of the selected smart home devices one by one; or,

(2) Select a smart home device to add to the current scene and set the parameter information of the smart home device, and then execute until the smart home device that needs to be added is added and set.
