[emulated_hue] is an invalid option for [light.mqtt] after upgrade to 0.87

Hello,

After an upgrade from 0.86.4 to 0.87 I lost all lights that had emulated_hue: true

error log says
Invalid config for [light.mqtt]: [emulated_hue] is an invalid option for [light.mqtt]. Check: light.mqtt->emulated_hue. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/light.mqtt/

anyone else seen this after upgrade?

apparently this is not an issue.

by removing

emulated_hue: true
emulated_hue_name: "Garage Lights"

the error went away and all still works as intended. they must have removed support for those in 0.87

I have found it is better to use customize.yaml to name all entities, not the actual light.yaml (as an example ) file. Use this as an example;

customize.yaml

light.steps:
  friendly_name: Steps
  icon: mdi:lightbulb
  emulated_hue_hidden: true
  emulated_hue_name: "Steps"
