RGB Light
=========
The ``rgb`` light platform creates an RGB light from 3 :ref:`float output components <output>`
(one for each color channel).

# Example configuration entry
light:
- platform: rgb
name: "Living Room Lights"
red: output_component1
green: output_component2
blue: output_component3
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the light.
- **red** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the float :ref:`output` to use for the red channel.
- **green** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the float :ref:`output` to use for the green channel.
- **blue** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the float :ref:`output` to use for the blue channel.
- **gamma_correct** (*Optional*, float): The `gamma correction
factor <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction>`__ for the light. Defaults to ``2.8``.
- **default_transition_length** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The length of
the transition if no transition parameter is provided by Home Assistant. Defaults to ``1s``.
- **effects** (*Optional*, list): A list of :ref:`light effects <light-effects>` to use for this light.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
.. note::
The RGB light platform only works with ``float`` :ref:`outputs <output>` that
can output any light intensity percentage like the :doc:`ESP32 LEDC </esphomeyaml/components/output/ledc>` or
:doc:`ESP8266 PWM </esphomeyaml/components/output/esp8266_pwm>` components and does **not** work with output
platforms like the :doc:`/esphomeyaml/components/output/gpio`.
