Sorry to bother everyone with something so seemingly simple feel like I am loosing the plot here, I cant even split my config file. This seems so simple to do using !inlcude, but every time that I do I get the same error message. Do I have setting preventing me from adding code to the config or do I need to start again.
Every time that I Google the issue it is just more people showing how to split the config in the same way that I am doing it.
Steps taken:
created a new file called “testarea.yaml” in the same place as the configuration.yaml.
In what I believe to be the correct location in the in the configuration file I included the testarea: !include testarea.yaml
hey Zoogara, my apologies, but what does a top level valid key mean. Am I typing it in incorrectly? I would really appreciate help with what to type in.
There is also a link in there to some example ones on Github.
The filename can be anything you like, but the bit before the colon needs to be a valid key - like sensor: or mqtt: or zone: - i.e the file you include is the configuration that would normally follow that key.
