Like others I am following @frenck ’s example and I am splitting up my config even more than I have done previously.
I’ve made good progress but I’m getting hung up on the config for my utility meters.
In …/integrations/ I have a file called utility_meters.yaml which contains…
utility_meter: !include_dir_list ../entities/utility_meters
To keep troubleshooting simple I cut it down to a single utility meter file config, but multiple also fail.
In …/entities/utility_meters/ I have a file called network_utility_meter_daily.yaml which contains…
network_utility_meter_daily:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: daily
When I check my config, I get the following error:
Package utility_meters setup failed. Component utility_meter cannot be merged. Expected a dict.
I’ve tried different indentations, no luck…
network_utility_meter_daily:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: daily
network_utility_meter_daily:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: daily

For a single file:
In configuration.yaml:
utility_meter: !include utility_meters.yaml
In utility_meters.yaml
network_utility_meter_yearly:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: yearly
network_utility_meter_monthy:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: monthly
network_utility_meter_daily:
source: sensor.network_energy
cycle: daily
etc...
Yea, that is exactly how I previously had it configured (and working), but it fails when I use the approach outlined by @frenck .

Because it isn’t a list, but a named dictionary:
utility_meter: !include_dir_merge_named ../entities/utility_meters

a bit late reaction, but i have the same problem.
i added in configuration.yaml
utility_meter: !include_dir_merge_named entities/utility_meters
then in the one of the files in utility_meters dir looks like this
utility_meter:
daily_gas:
source: sensor.gas_consumption
name: Dagelijks gas verbruik
cycle: daily
monthly_gas:
source: sensor.gas_consumption
name: Maandelijks gas verbruik
cycle: monthly
yearly_gas:
source: sensor.gas_consumption
name: Jaarlijks gas verbruik
cycle: monthly
But when checking the configuration it says there is an error and i can’t figure out what that error is.
tryed different indentations but that doesn’t do it.
I ended up with having a file per utility meter. I actually prefer it that way.
configuration.yaml
default_config:
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named integrations
…/integrations/utility_meter.yaml
utility_meter: !include_dir_merge_named ../entities/utility_meters
…/entities/utilitiy_meters/office_computer_daily_utility_meter.yaml
office_computer_daily_utility_meter:
source: sensor.office_computer_energy_meter
cycle: daily

I have a seperate file per integration in the integration folder. This is not required, just something I did to organize and keep my configurationl.yaml small.
