  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. Configure custom component in configuration.yaml file.
