# Installation and configuration
## Installation

### Using [HACS](https://hacs.xyz/) (recommended)

This integration can be added to HACS as a [custom repository](https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories):
* URL: `https://github.com/Mr-Groch/HA-Emulated-Color-Temp-Light`
* Category: `Integration`

After adding a custom repository you can use HACS to install this integration using user interface.

### Manual

1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find `configuration.yaml`).
2. If you do not have a `custom_components` directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the `custom_components` directory (folder) create a new folder called `emulated_color_temp`.
4. Download _all_ the files from the `custom_components/emulated_color_temp/` directory (folder) in this repository.
5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
6. Add this to your `configuration.yaml` (edit `name` to your desired entity name and `entity_id` to your original light entity id without color temperature support):
6. [Configure](#Configuration) custom component in `configuration.yaml` file.
7. Restart Home Assistant.

## Configuration

After installation of the custom component, it needs to be configured in `configuration.yaml` file.

Add this to your `configuration.yaml` (edit `name` to your desired entity name and `entity_id` to your original light entity id without color temperature support):
```
light:
- platform: emulated_color_temp
name: Your new light name
entity_id: light.original_light_entity
```
7. Restart Home Assistant
