+
+The `emulated_hue` component provides a virtual Philips Hue bridge, written entirely in software,
+that allows services that work with the Hue API to interact with Home Assistant
+entities. The driving use case behind this functionality is to allow Home
+Assistant to work with an Amazon Echo with no set up cost outside of
+configuration changes.
+
+To enable the emulated Hue bridge, add the following to your `configuration.yaml`
+file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+emulated_hue:
+  host_ip: 192.168.1.186
+  listen_port: 8300
+  off_maps_to_on_domains:
+    - script
+    - scene
+  expose_by_default: true
+  exposed_domains:
+    - light
+
+# Example customization
+homeassistant:
+  customize:
+    light.bedroom_light:
+      # Don't allow light.bedroom_light to be controlled by the
+      # emulated Hue bridge
+      emulated_hue: false
+    light.office_light:
+      # Address light.office_light as "back office light"
+      emulated_hue_name: "back office light"
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host_ip** (*Optional*): The IP address that your Home Assistant installation is
+  running on. If you do not specify this option, the component will attempt to
+  determine the IP address on its own.
+
+- **listen_port** (*Optional*): The port the Hue bridge API web server will run on. If
+  not specified, this defaults to 8300. This can be any free port on your system.
+
+- **off_maps_to_on_domains** (*Optional*): The domains that maps an "off" command to
+  an "on" command.
+  
+  For example, if `script` is included in the list, and you
+  ask Alexa to "turn off the *water plants* script," the command will be handled
+  as if you asked her to turn on the script.
+  
+  If not specified, this defaults to the following list:
+  
+  - `script`
+  - `scene`
+
+- **expose_by_default** (*Optional*): Whether or not entities should be exposed via the
+  bridge by default instead of explicitly (see the 'echo' attribute later on).
+  If not specified, this defaults to true.
+
+- **exposed_domains** (*Optional*): The domains that are exposed by default if
+  `expose_by_default` is set to true. If not specified, this defaults to the
+  following list:
+
+  - `switch`
+  - `light`
+  - `group`
+  - `input_boolean`
+  - `media_player`
+
+The following are attributes that can be applied in the `customize` section:
+
+- **emulated_hue** (*Optional*): Whether or not the entity should be
+  exposed by the emulated Hue bridge. The default value for this attribute is controlled
+  by the `expose_by_default` option.
+
+- **emulated_hue_name** (*Optional*): The name that the emulated Hue will use.
+  The default for this is the entity's friendly name.
