Configuration

I am brand new to all this coding and language. I am trying my best to figure this out as I go but I am noticing some issue. I was wondering if anyone could help my clean up my Configuration.yaml.

type or paste code he# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

frontend: 
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

I tried using the sensor.yaml but could never get it to work so that is why I have sensors at the bottom. I thought maybe they all needed to go under the

homeassistant:

but I get the error “extra keys not allowed @ data” with no reference to fix it. I removed all my private Keys, API, Tokens (Not that new lol). Anyways Thanks for any help!

You already have that, you can’t put

sensor:

further down - see this article.

There’s no reason you can’t move that section, without the opening sensor: line, to sensors.yaml

I understand. That was my confusion. I wasn’t sure if the !includes should go under the “homeassistant:” area or just above like I have them. Also, I cannot get the link to work for that article. Thanks so much for the response.

Take a look at packages , search HA help pages .
I never touch the configuration.yaml any more, it’s simple:

homeassistant:
  name: Home
  #-- Location stuff
  latitude: <secret>
  longitude:<secret>
  elevation: <secret>
  unit_system: metric
  time_zone: Europe/London
  #-- Include list of all config yaml files under ./packages
  packages: !include_dir_merge_named packages
  #-- Customize UI
  customize:  !include customize.yaml

so in my config dir, I have a packages dir and I put everything in there. Allows me to include or share configs. My tree looks like this

You’ll want to read https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/splitting_configuration/

The splitting basically happens in the relevant section.
