My secrets.yaml file is located in the /config directory. Unfortunately ESPHome is not able to read this from a YAML fil within the /config/esphome directory.
Error accessing file /config/esphome/secrets.yaml: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/config/esphome/secrets.yaml'
Is there a way to point !secrets to parent directory?
I have tried ! ../secret PASSWORD with no luck.
No it has to go in the directory where the configuration file is.
Question # 1
That’s fine.
My question is; Can I point to a directory from the YAML file where I use !secret ?
As I said:
This is where esphome expects it to be:
'/config/esphome/secrets.yaml'
And it is not possible to change that.
OK.
Can I use an ESPHome specific Secrets.yaml file for ESPHome in /config/esphome in addition to the one I already use in /config?
Yes. That is exactly what you have to do.
Otto discussed the reasoning behind having separate secret files here:
Thank you very much. I didn’t even think of having several secrets files
