The `blinkstick` platform lets you control your [Blinkstick](https://www.blinkstick.com/) lights from within Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
To use your Blinkstick, you need to allow the access to the device for [non-root users](https://github.com/arvydas/blinkstick-python#permission-problems-in-linux-and-mac-os-x).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo blinkstick --add-udev-rule
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To add a Blinkstick to your installation, add the following to your {% term "`configuration.yaml`" %} file.
|
|
{% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
