I remember seeing that somewhere too… good idea.
I tried implementing it, but my HA install seems to be a bit off today. I have one file loaded as a package. It used to be called ZigbeeRainMeter.yaml, then I renamed it to zigbee_rain_meter.yaml. For some reason, when I reload the YAMLs in HA now (did the check configuration button go away btw?), it still gives me an error for duplicate keys in ZigbeeRainMeter.yaml, even though that file doesn’t exist anymore.
I feel like the bottom error is worse though: “Mapping values are not allowed here in…”
I removed the include of the packages and restarted HA, that got rid of the old filename error. The only error I’m getting now is the one I was dreading before.
Line 17 in the configuration.yaml file:
The extra space in front of packages is intentional, otherwise you get an error saying that the integration ‘packages’ can’t be found.
And the contents of the only YAML file in the projectYamls folder:
# Package: zigbee_rain_meter.yaml

I’m usually pretty good at figuring out what’s going on when there’s a log file, but the “mapping values not allowed” error seems to almost always be caused by a indentation error. I know it’s hard to see your own mistakes, but AFAICS there are no indentation errors.
