I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and trying to find out the some of the concepts around groups in Home Assistant. As i build my system i’m trying to keep everything relatively organised. What i’m finding is that a lot of the documentation appears to be for older versions and some components are deprecated or don’t exist.
Before i switched to Home Assistant from Openhab, i was able to easily tag items etc into groups. Now i know there are light groups etc… in Home Assistant, but where should they be configured? I thought it might be a good idea to move things out into groups.yaml to keep things organised, but that doesn’t seem to work for light groups.
Should i be using the Groups.yaml?
Should everything be in Configuration.yaml?
Sooo confused.
Currently Running HASSOS
with version Home Assistant 0.114.4
I guess, my question was more about best practice and trying to keep things organised. Is their any benefit to keeping thigs like groups in a separate yaml?
I tried configuring light groups in groups.yaml, but couldn’t seem to get it to work.
This is my yaml atm, and i can just see it getting out of control and all over the place.
