Configuration sample:

"platforms": [
       {
         "platform": "PhilipsHue",
         "name": "Philips Hue",
         "ip_address": "127.0.0.1",
         "username": "252deadbeef0bf3f34c7ecb810e832f",

       }   
   ]

If you do not know the IP address of your Hue Bridge, simply leave it blank and your Bridge will be discovered automatically.

If you do not have a "username" for your Hue API already, simply leave the field blank and you will be prompted to press the link button on your Hue Bridge before running HomeBridge. A username will be created for you and printed out, then the server will exit so you may enter it in your config.json.
