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]({{site_root}}/components/discovery.html).

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
```
