Packages - options

[moskovskiy82]

Can somebody please explain the packages. Looking at the documentation it’s pretty scarce.
Looking at other users configs there are a lot of options like
“Expose” beneath and node_anchors

package.node_anchors:
  customize: &customize
    package: 'good_morning_night'

  expose: &expose
    <<: *customize

Also it’s not quite clear - does the package can also aggregate all the automations and scripts?

Nope. Still awaiting for an answer

Node Anchors is used to simplify your configurations and avoid repetitions of settings. So instead of repeting all settings for each entity you just add an anchor to the setting. Example: Without anchors: ################################################ ## Without Node Anchors and Merge Key Tags ################################################ homeassistant: customize: light.back_porch: friendly_name: "Back Porch" package: 'philips_hue' light.chandelier: friendly_…

That might help
