# Configuration guide

The `xiaomi_bslamp2` platform provides various components that expose the core functionalities of the lamp.
In the following table, you can find what components are used for exposing what parts of the lamp.

## Platform: xiaomi_bslamp2

At the core of the hardware support is the `xiaomi_bslamp2` platform, which provides two
hub-style hardware abstraction layer (HAL) components that are used by the other components:
one for driving the GPIO's for the RGBWW leds and one for the I2C communication between
the ESP32 and the front panel.

I do mention it here for completeness sake, but generally you will not have to add the
following configuration option to your yaml file. It is loaded automatically by the
components that need it, and the GPIO + I2C configurations are fully prepared to work
for the Bedside Lamp 2 wiring out of the box.
Therefore, you will not find this piece of configuration in the [example.yaml](example.yaml).

Having said that, here are the configuration options:

```yaml
xiaomi_bslamp2:
  # Options for the RGBWW LEDs HAL.
  red: "GPIO13"
  green: "GPIO14"
  blue: "GPIO5"
  white: "GPIO12"
  master_1: "GPIO33"
  master_2: "GPIO4"
  
  # Options for the Front Panel HAL.
  sda: "GPIO21"
  scl: "GPIO19"
  address: 0x2C
  trigger_pin: "GPIO16"
```

The only reason that I can think of for adding this platform configuration to your yaml
file, would be if you blew one or more or the ESP32 pins, and need to rewire functions
to different pins.

## Component: light

The light component creates an RGBWW light. This means that it can do colored light and
cold/warm white light based on a color temperature.

```yaml
light:
  - platform: xiaomi_bslamp2
    name: My Bedside Lamp
    id: my_bedside_lamp
    default_transition_length: 0.5s
    effects:
      - random:
          name: Randomize
          transition_length: 3s
          update_interval: 3s
    on_brightness:
      - then:
          - logger.log: The brightness changed!
    presets:
      my_color_presets:
        red:         { red: 100%, green: 0%,   blue: 0%   }
        green:       { red: 0%,   green: 100%, blue: 0%   }
        blue:        { red: 0%,   green: 0%,   blue: 100% }
        yellow:      { red: 100%, green: 100%, blue: 0%   }
        purple:      { red: 100%, green: 0%,   blue: 100% }
        randomize:   { effect: Randomize                  }
      my_white_presets:
        cold:        { color_temperature: 153 mireds      }
        chilly:      { color_temperature: 275 mireds      }
        luke:        { color_temperature: 400 mireds      }
        warm:        { color_temperature: 588 mireds            
```

### Configuration variables:

* **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the light.
* **id** (*Optional*, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. By providing an id,
  you can reference the light from automation rules (e.g. to turn on the light when the power
  button is tapped)
* **default_transition_length** (*Optional*, Time): The default transition length to use when
  no transition length is set in a light call. Defaults to 1s.
* **effects** (*Optional*, list): A list of [light effects](https://esphome.io/components/light/index.html#light-effects)
  to use for this light.
* **presets** (*Optional*, dict): Used to define presets, that can be used from automations.
  See [below](#light-presets) for detailed information.
* **on_brightness** (*Optional*, Action): An automation to perform when the brightness of the light is modified.
* All other options from [the base Light implementation](https://esphome.io/components/light/index.html#config-light),
  except for options that handle color correction options like `gamma_correct` and `color_correct`.
  These options are superceded by the fact that the light component has a fully customized
  light model, that closely follows the light model of the original lamp's firmware.
