Similar support was recently added to other integrations, so might be possible e.g. home-assistant/core#151218 |

+1. I have the same goal (turn on a non-Hue LED strip when specific Hue scenes get activated, even if they're activated from the Hue app rather than Home Assistant). Having an event raised by the Hue integration when scenes are activated would be really useful. For now I have managed to achieve this by using the Hue API (not the Hue integration) and some pretty complex/custom Node-RED workflows. Not straightforward, but for any devs who are interested, what I did was:
A fairly complex setup but it does work... Would be great to replace this with a much simpler automation if the suggestion gets added. |

Describe the enhancement
Provide an entry in the Hue Integration Activity when a Scene is activated from within the Hue App.
Use cases
I live in a divided house. I run all of my automation in the Home Assistant App. However, others prefer to use the Hue App for it's UI and ease of use to control lights and scenes.
Is it possible to add an event in the Room/Zone when a scene is activated in the Hue App? Currently, when a scene is activated in the Hue App, nothing is logged:

However, if the scene is activated from within Home Assistant, it's logged.

I unfortunately have non Hue lights that I would like to easily trigger their state to change when a specific Hue Scene is selected. IE if the Office Scene is set to "Bright White" then set a group of Tuya lights to match.
Trying to re-create the logic in HA to look at multiple different Hue lights for their state, brightness and color is a pain (And then needs to be tweaked anytime the Hue Scene has been updated).
I'm not looking for any sort of Persistence in HA to track that the Hue lights are on a specific Scene, but just the entry in Activity that a Scene was selected from the Hue App, and then I can leverage that in other HA automations.
Anything else?
