Philips Hue - noodlemctwoodle/Hassio GitHub Wiki

Philips Hue are some of the most reliable and user configurable light sources on the market. Although they dont come cheap, once you have made the initial investment into your home, they are just set and forget and work seamlessly either by using your everyday mains power wall switch or by using one of the various switches Philips Hue or friends of Hue offer.

These are some of the devices I have configured in Hassio

Color GU10	White GU10	Color E27	Color B22

Motion sensor	Dimmer switch	Bloom table lamp	Color LightStrip

Hue Custom Component (Sensors and Switches)

Philips Hue Sensors are controlled in Home Assistant using the Hue Sensor Custom Component.

When you install the custom component the configuration needs to match the folder structure where the component is located in the backend folder structure.

If directory is named custom_components/huesensor you need to use - platform: huesensor in your YAML configuration files. Further information on this can be found in the config below:

configuration.yaml

binary_sensor:
  - platform: huesensor
