## Scenes now have a state
Scenes never had a state, well that is not entirely true, it would always
say: "scening". That is not really helpful with anything.
To make the state of a scene more useful, it will now have the last timestamp of when the scene was activated. This has a couple of advantages:
- The timestamp in the state of the scene tells you when the scene was last used.
- You can now see history of when a scene was activated in the logbook,
and who did that.
- You can now automate on a scene being activated.
The last one is pretty useful as a scene can now be used to trigger even more
actions via automations. For example, you could start playing media or send
a TTS announcement when a scene is used.
