Abstract

A method and a device are provided for deleting a smart scene in the field of smart home. The device receives an unbundling notification message indicating that a designated smart device has been successfully unbundled. The device detects whether a target smart scene set with the designated smart device exists among established smart scenes. When a target smart scene set with the designated smart device exists among the established smart scenes, the device deletes the target smart scene. A smart scene set with a smart device is deleted after the designated smart device is successfully unbundled.
