Cortana introduces new Scenes, Rules features

Even with Cortana getting a downgrade as a digital assistant, the virtual assistant is getting new features related to your smart, connected home. One of the new features is Scenes. It lets you bundle settings together under one name. For example, for a setting like Movie Time, you can set the lights to dim and the thermostat at reach a certain temp. MSPowerUser describes Rules as more conditional settings like IFTTT. For example, turn off the light at 6 p.m. The feature is said to be rolling out now to all platforms where Cortana is available.
