Home automation (HA) system including desired scene implementation based upon user-selectable list of addressable HA devices and related methods

A home automation (HA) system comprising:

• a plurality of addressable HA devices at a given location;
• an HA device scene controller configured to
• obtain from a user a first desired scene comprising at least one first trigger action and at least one first responsive event,
• determine when the plurality of addressable HA devices at the given location are not capable of implementing the first desired scene comprising the at least one first trigger action and the at least one first responsive event, and, after obtaining the first desired scene, present a purchase offer for an additional addressable HA device,
• determine when the plurality of addressable HA devices at the given location are capable of implementing the scene, and present a first user-selectable list of corresponding ones of the addressable HA devices capable of implementing the first desired scene,
• determine the first user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices, and
• upon occurrence of the at least one first trigger action, perform the at least one first responsive event using the first user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices to thereby implement the first desired scene.

A method of implementing first and second desired scenes in a home automation (HA) system comprising a plurality of addressable HA devices at a given location, the method comprising:

• using an HA device scene controller to
• obtain from a user the first desired scene comprising at least one first trigger action and at least one first responsive event,
• present, after obtaining the first desired scene, a first user-selectable list of corresponding ones of the addressable HA devices capable of implementing the first desired scene comprising the at least one first trigger action and the at least one first responsive event,
• determine the first user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices,
• upon occurrence of the at least one first trigger action, perform the at least one first responsive event using the first user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices to thereby implement the first desired scene,
• obtain from a cloud computing environment the second desired scene comprising at least one second trigger action and at least one second responsive event,
• present, after obtaining the second desired scene, a second user-selectable list of corresponding ones of the addressable HA devices capable of implementing the second desired scene comprising the at least one second trigger action and the at least one second responsive event,
• determine the second user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices, and
• upon occurrence of the at least one second trigger action, perform the at least one second responsive event using the second user-selected ones of the addressable HA devices to thereby implement the second desired scene.
