# Settings - Scenes
**Rules** are the heart of home automation.
**Scenes** are special types of rules, which require no coding.
Scenes allow you to define an Item and its respective state very easily and combine multiple of them as a collection of item actions to be run.
Note that the Scenes do not support triggers or conditions and need to be explicitly triggered via a page or a rule.
A comprehensive introduction to scenes can be found at the [scenes tutorial]({{base}}/tutorial/rules_scenes.html).
On this page you can manage all the scenes you have added to your system:
- **Add new Scenes**
Add Scenes using the plus button.
- **Edit Scenes**
Click on any scene in the list to edit the scene's Item commands.
- **Delete Scenes**
Select multiple scenes using the top **Select** button and use the **Remove** button at the bottom or use the Remove Scene button on the individual scene pages.
- **Enable/Disable Scenes**
Use the pause buttons on the individual scene pages.
- **Manually run Scenes**
Use the play button on the individual scene pages to have the scene run immediately.
