The `homematic` light platform lets you control [Homematic](http://www.homematic.com/) lights through Home Assistant.
You have the choice to configure switch-devices as light entities within HA if you have lights attatched to the switch and it makes sense for your setup. If the switch uses multiple channels to control different devices, you may mix the configurations.
To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
light:
platform: homematic
address: LEQ1234567
name: Kitchen
button: 1
```
Configuration variables:
- **platform** (*Required*: Needed to let Home Assistant know this is a Homematic rollershutter.
- **address** (*Required*): The serial number of the device, eg. LEQ1234567
- **name** (*Optional*): Name to identify the device.
- **button** (*Optional*): Channel of the Homematic interface to interact with (Default: 1)
Currently the following devices are supported:
- Switch from 1 to 4 channels
- Dimmer from 1 to 2 channels
- Switch powermeter
As an example for a mixed configuration of a HM-LC-Sw2-FM actor:
```yaml
light:
platform: homematic
address: LEQ1234567
name: Livingroom
button: 1
switch:
platform: homematic
address: LEQ1234567
name: Ceiling fan
button: 2
```
