<p>This component allows you to track and control various light bulbs.</p>
<p>It has <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/light/light_profiles.csv">4 built-in light profiles</a> which youre able to extend by putting a <code class="highlighter-rouge">light_profiles.csv</code> file in your config dir.</p>
<p>Preferred way to setup the Philips Hue platform is through the <a href="/components/discovery/">the discovery component</a>. For the Wink light platform enable <a href="/components/wink/">the wink component</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to enable the light component directly, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">hue</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<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><a class="title-link" name="service-lightturn_on" href="#service-lightturn_on"></a> Service <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.turn_on</code></h3>
