Notes

In the Scenes and Accessories view, press and hold to adjust accessory state (brightness percentage, on/off, color)

Also, tapping the gear/swiping down lets you adjust individual accessories in a grouped device.

Comments

Once devices are added, the icons subtly animate on first open.

This action opens the Home app interface as a popover, so you adjust accessories the same way.
