You are correct two options : manual or automatic and the manual scenes are driven by the ‘tap to run device’ option only, then the other scenes/combinations lead to smart scenes/automatic.
In more details:
‘If’ has 3 options: smart device/timer/tap to run , the ‘smart device’ shows all devices, ‘tap to run’ (& no option) & ‘timer’ that allows to program timing ( days of the week, time, recurrence…) .
'‘Then’ has 3 options: smart devices/delay/smart scenes, the
- 'Smart device 'doesn’t show all devices (only some, whether selected above or not - and this is not logic, they should be listed all)
- ‘Delay’ shoes timer h/m/sec…
- ‘Smart scenes’ allows to select auto-scenes created with the various devices .
A combination of above is possible.
Ex :
You are asking what I am trying to do: use a door switch to generate an alarm on iHost.
I can do using the ‘smart scenes’ option, but this is not straightforward, but it works.

The ‘essai son’ auto scene - do the job.
My questions are:
- why the ‘then’ / ‘smart devices’ doesn’t show all devices.
- what if different auto scenes use same device ,which scene is run first.
- is above documented somewhere or is this always a trial & error process supported by the forum
.
Not clear - pls keep me posted.
Tks…
