You need to use one of the include options, eg

customize: !include customize.yaml

Hello,

I’ll add on here.

I have friendly names set in customize.yaml but they only load if i go through the config --> customization route. Otherwise they use the generic sensor.xx
The offending entities are sensors created by appdeamon. Could it be that the sensors are created after the customize.yaml file is read ?

configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  # Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
  name: Lyon Flat
  # Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
  latitude: xx
  longitude: xx
  # Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)
  elevation: 10000
  # metric for Metric, imperial for Imperial
  unit_system: metric
  # Pick yours from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
  time_zone: UTC+36
  # Customization file
  customize: !include customize.yaml
