> **Using the UI exclusively?** Even if you plan to configure everything through the UI, the `adaptive_lighting:` entry must still be present in your `configuration.yaml`.
2. **Add the integration**: Go to **Settings** → **Devices & Services** → **Add Integration** → **Adaptive Lighting**, then name your instance
3. **Configure**: Open Adaptive Lighting, click **Configure**, select your lights, and adjust the settings. No YAML entry is needed.
