### {% linkable_title Configuration Sample %}
The `nanoleaf` platform allows you to control [Nanoleaf Light Panels](https://nanoleaf.me) from Home Assistant.
The preferred way to set up this platform is by enabling the [discovery component](/components/discovery/). Make sure to press and hold the *ON* button for 5 seconds (the LED will start flashing) on your Nanoleaf Lights while Home Assistant is starting.
To configure the Nanoleaf lights manually, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
- platform: nanoleaf
host: 192.168.1.10
token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```
{% configuration %}
host:
description: IP address or host-name of the device, e.g., 192.168.1.10.
required: true
type: string
token:
description: The *auth* token that you get via *POST* to */api/v1/new*
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Name of the component, make this unique if you have multiple Light Panels
required: false
type: string
default: Nanoleaf
{% endconfiguration %}
### {% linkable_title Getting The Auth Token %}
1. Make sure that your Nanoleaf Light Panel is fully patched (as of the time of writing the latest version was 3.0.8 for Aurora and 1.2.0 for Canvas)
2. Hold down the *ON* button on the Panel for 5 seconds; the LED will start flashing
3. Issue a *POST* request to the API endpoint, e.g., via `$ curl -i -X POST http://192.168.1.155:16021/api/v1/new`
4. The output should include the auth token like *{"auth_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}*, copy the resulting token into your configuration
If you get a 403 Forbidden message, you probably did not press the *ON* button long enough. The time-frame to get a valid token is only 30 seconds, so you have to be quick to issue the curl request.
