What Scenes do you use and what do they do?

Mine:

Good Night - Turns on nightlights around the home (1% brightness), turns off the rest of the lights, turns white noise machine on, turns porch light and seasonal smart switch (Halloween porch decorations, Christmas tree, etc.) off.
Dinner Party - Adjusts great room lamps to full brightness, plays music playlist on HomePod mini.
Movie Night - Adjusts TV room lamps to 30% brightness (been using mainly with TV shows).
Theater - Turns off all TV room lamps (been using mainly with movies, especially dark Halloween movies, to see them better).

Curious to see how others are automating their home, for ideas.
