A Action or sceneAs Ikea calls it, it can “consist of several interconnected products in one group are summarized ”, it says on the Homepage of the furniture store. This means that, for example, both the ceiling lamp and the bedside lamps in the bedroom can be switched together.
That is the cost of the individual parts for smart home control at Ikea
