How can you create multiple helpers at once?

Configuration

Hi All

New to HA and absolutely loving it so far!

I have a need to create a whole bunch of input_boolean’s.

Ideally I would have wanted to split my configuration.yaml file (To keep things tidy and make it easier to find things) to something like myselectors: !include myselectors.yaml - but it seems that it is no longer possible to do this with custom names. I just get an error stating "Integration error: myselectors - Integration ‘myselectors’ not found.

I can still create these under configuration.yaml if needs be.

With all of that being said, I’d really prefer to keep up with the times and direction that HA is going, and as such wanted to find out if there is a way within the UI to import a list of helpers (In this case toggles)?

Or perhaps there is another way to dynamically create these?

It is still possible. You just have to use a the actual integration and a label, like this,
<integration> <label>: file

input_select: !include input_selects.yaml
input_select mine: !include my_selects.yaml
