Yes with the standard smart lighting app. I use a motion sensor to turn on
my hall lights (all hue) and xmas tree (wall socket). I actually run two
separate instances as the xmas tree is on with any movement, but the hall
lights are only used after sunset and movement. It treats sockets as lights
for this app.

SmartThings does't natively support hue scenes, but I just made it set the
bulbs to whatever level I wanted (mirrored the scenes on the hue bridge).
But I did notice that someone has changed the hue interface to load scenes
from the hue bridge so I may switch to that. It needs all bulbs removed as
it's a different device driver which is a pain for me as I have loads.
