A smart scene refers to a single command that tells one or more smart devices to respond in a predetermined manner. Typically, these smart devices include Z-Wave smart home automation modules and the alarm control panel itself. An example of a smart scene might arm the system away, turn off all the Z-Wave lights and tell the Z-Wave thermostat to stop cooling the house. This scene might be called "Work", and a user might activate this scene as they leave for work for the day. A maximum of 10 devices can be included in a single smart scene.

Both the Honeywell VAM and the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch WIFI will serve as a Z-Wave controller for a Honeywell VISTA Alarm System. The Tuxedo also doubles as a touchscreen keypad for the system.
