The `nuimo_controller` component allows you to connect to a [Nuimo](http://www.senic.com/) device for receiving input events and displaying on the LED matrix via the [Nuimo SDK for Python on Linux](https://github.com/getSenic/nuimo-linux-python).
To connect to a Nuimo device add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
nuimo_controller:
```
Configuration variables:
- **mac** (*Optional*): Skip discovery and connect to this device address.
- **name** (*Optional*): To handle more than one device by names, add the name of the device.
Example for testing rotation value and sending to the LED matrix:
```yaml
automation Nuimo_rotate_right:
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: nuimo_input
event_data:
type: ROTATE
condition:
condition: template
value_template: {% raw %}'{{ trigger.event.data.value > 100 }}'{% endraw %}
action:
service: nuimo_controller.led_matrix
data:
matrix:
'........
0000000.
.000000.
..00000.
.0.0000.
.00.000.
.000000.
.000000.
........ '
interval: 0.5
```
Troubleshooting:
- use `hcitool lescan` to see the mac address of your device
- allow non-root user access to Bluetooth LE with `sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f $(which python))`
- install the newest version of [pygattlib](https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/pygattlib) from the repository, either because there is no binary package for your system or the pip version contains errors, with `pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/pygattlib --target $HOME/.homeassistant/deps`.
(Dependencies of pygattlib: `sudo apt-get install pkg-config libboost-python-dev libboost-thread-dev libbluetooth-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dev`)
Then invoke Home Assistant with `hass --skip-pip`.
