The `Tahoma` component platform is used as an interface to the [tahomalink.com](https://www.tahomalink.com) website. It adds covers, scenes and a sun sensor from the Tahoma platform.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use your Tahoma devices in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tahoma:
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
  exclude: [BridgeHUEComponent, HueLampHUEComponent, PodComponent]
```

{% configuration %}
username:
  description: Your username for tahomalink.com.
  required: true
  type: string
password:
  description: Your password for tahomalink.com.
  required: true
  type: string
exclude:
  description: List of devices to exclude.
  required: false
  type: list
{% endconfiguration %}

This also works with the Somfy Connexoon. Check [here](https://somfyhouse.freshdesk.com/nl/support/solutions/articles/14000058145-wat-is-het-verschil-tussen-de-tahoma-en-de-connexoon-) for the differences between the bridges.
