Yes.
Because scenes typically involve more than one device, I generally use a different format and a separate JSON file for them.
Easy, I think, although I haven't actually done it. Something like this:
- At startup, read the JSON file(s), and convert to object(s), and save in context (presumably persistent).
- Use the objects as needed for sending commands, switching scenes, etc., and keep the current state of the system in a persistent context.
- Modify the devices or scenes objects as you like. If you want to make the changes permanent, convert the objects to JSON and write them back out to their appropriate files.
This blurs my distinction between "static" and "dynamic," since you can change your definitions of the scenes or device configuration on the fly, but that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
