<p>This component allows you to track and control various light bulbs.</p>
<p>It has <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/light/light_profiles.csv">4 built-in light profiles</a> which you&rsquo;re able to extend by putting a <code>light_profiles.csv</code> file in your config dir.</p>
<p>It supports the following platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>hue</code> for Philips Hue</li>
<li><code>wink</code> for Wink</li>
</ul>
<p>Preferred way to setup the Philips Hue platform is through the <a href="/components/discovery.html">the discovery component</a>. For the Wink light platform enable <a href="/components/wink.html">the wink component</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to enable the light component directly, add the following lines to your <code>configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<figure class='code'><div class="highlight"><table><tr><td class="gutter"><pre class="line-numbers"><span class='line-number'>1</span>
<span class='line-number'>2</span>
</pre></td><td class='code'><pre><code class=''><span class='line'>light:
</span><span class='line'> platform: hue</span></code></pre></td></tr></table></div></figure>
<p class='note'>
The light component supports multiple entries in <code>configuration.yaml</code> by appending a sequential number to the section: <code>light 2:</code>, <code>light 3:</code> etc.
</p>
<h3>Service <code>light.turn_on</code></h3>
<p>Turns one or multiple lights on.</p>
