Adding Yaml conf in configuration.yaml

Configuration
1

Hallo ,

I’m having an issue to include extra yaml files into my configuration.yaml. I tried differed ways , looked all over youtube and even started a new Home assistant server to test from scratch. Probably I’m doing something wrong

I’m using the Following code in my configuration ( I added the cameras.yaml )

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate
   
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
camera: !include cameras.yaml

#### alamrs #####
alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: manual

and the following code in the cameras.yaml


camera:
  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ISAPI/Streaming/Channels/101/picture"
    stream_source: "rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/102"
    name: "Oprit"
    verify_ssl: false
    username: "xxxxxx"
    password: "xxxxxxxxx"
    authentication: digest

When I use the same code directly in the configuration.yaml everything works fine. What is I’m doing wrong :worried:

It’s still work in progress , but I already created the following dashboard.

because it started to get crowded in the Configuration file I would like to split some things up as I go further .

Thanks a lot

I keep getting the following error code and can’t figure out why its not working. It was working before without issue but I was recently adding new code for alexa switches then started getting errors that point me to the lines for my camera. Can anyone tell whats going on. I checked all the spacing?

Your yaml is invalid, or you did post it wrong (not properly formatted)
