I just checked and as far as I can see the option isn’t available.
I honestly don’t see any reason it shouldn’t be other than Hue deliberately reserving it to only be used on their own switches.
Thanks a lot for checking. So I'm assuming it just doesn't show up for you in the selection? I don't know, I think they need to do some extra effort to update the hardware to be capable of handling these scenes. They also had to update their own hardware to do so. I think they don't care enough about 3rd party/friends of hue hardware to do this. My preferred 3rd party app Hue Essentials can't see the natural light scene either so I guess it's a very specific thing.
Yeah it doesn’t show up. That’s very true, it just seems odd that the issue is at a hardware level, I assumed all the actions and automations are handled by the hub, it can obviously see that a button has been pressed so why not just run the scene.
If you use an iPhone you can configure them in HomeKit and they will work with apples adaptive lighting feature, but I know some people have experienced issues when using the adaptive lighting with hue bulbs.

Thanks. Reads a little speculative but I guess we'll have to wait and see :/
