page Philips Hue Instructions how to setup Philips Hue within Home Assistant. 2015-03-23 20:09 true false true true philips_hue.png Light Local Polling true

Philips Hue support is integrated into Home Assistant as a light platform. The preferred way to setup the Philips Hue platform is by enabling the the discovery component.

If you want to enable the light component directly, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
  platform: hue
  host: DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS
  allow_unreachable: true
  filename: my_hue_hub_token.conf

Configuration variables:

  • host (Required): IP address of the device, eg. 192.168.1.10.
  • allow_unreachable (Optional): This will allow unreachable bulbs to report their state correctly. By default name from the device is used.
  • filename (Optional): Make this unique if specifying multiple Hue hubs.
