[Velux](http://www.velux.com) integration for Home Assistant allows you to connect to a Velux KLF 200 interface, to control [io-homecontrol](http://www.io-homecontrol.com)  devices like windows and blinds. The module allows you to start scenes configured within KLF 200. 

A `velux` section must be present in the `configuration.yaml` file and contain the following options as required:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
velux:
  host: "192.168.1.23"
  password: "velux123"
```

Configuration variables:

- **host** (*Required*): The IP address or hostname of the KLF 200 to use.
- **password** (*Required*): The password of the KLF 200 interface.
