Philips Hue support is integrated into Home Assistant as a light platform. The preferred way to setup the Philips Hue platform is by enabling the [the discovery component](/components/discovery/).
|
|
|
|
If you want to enable the light component directly, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
light:
|
|
platform: hue
|
|
host: DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS
|
|
allow_unreachable: true
|
|
filename: my_hue_hub_token.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): IP address of the device, eg. 192.168.1.10.
|
|
- **allow_unreachable** (*Optional*): This will allow unreachable bulbs to report their state correctly. By default *name* from the device is used.
|
|
- **filename** (*Optional*): Make this unique if specifying multiple Hue hubs.
