Alright, you're ready to make your first component. AWESOME. Don't worry, we've tried hard to keep it as easy as possible.
### {% linkable_title Example component %}
Add `hello_state:` to your `configuration.yaml` file and create a file `<config_dir>/custom_components/hello_state.py` with the below code to test it locally.
```python
DOMAIN = 'hello_state'
def setup(hass, config):
hass.states.set('hello.world', 'Paulus')
return True
```
