Reduce the size of config file (yaml) - many repeats

[kaninfod]

Hi

I have built a button panel with the following features:

• 8 push buttons
• each button can do single click, double click and hold
• each button has a led to signal mode
• a buzzer (rtttl)
• everything controlled by an ESP32

Having this many components and functions gives me a very long yaml file.
I looking for ways to reduce the repeated parts - actually looking for a discussion for the best approach and to learn something…

So I would love to get some tips and inputs to the below.

All the basic stuff is hidden away in an injected file called .base.yaml - I have included in at the end for completeness.

substitutions:
  device_name: kitchen-buttons
  friendly_name: Bedlamp
  ip_node: '222'

packages:
  base: !include .base.yaml

esphome:
  name: ${device_name}

esp32:
  board: node32s
  framework:
    type: arduino

I think the best way to condense or optimize this configuration is to combine the packages: mapping with the !include using substitutions. The repeated code seems to have 3 unique items, the id, input pin, and output pin. This allows all of the related entities needed for each instance to be consolidated into one file. The packages: mapping takes care of merging all of the similar configurations together. Using the substitution feature of the !include statement allows the single file to implement 8 nearly identical instances of the related entities.

substitutions:
  device_name: kitchen-buttons
  friendly_name: Bedlamp
  ip_node: '222'


esphome:
  name: ${device_name}

esp32:
  board: node32s

  base: !include .base.yaml

Hi mulmcu

I remember seeing that it’s possible to pass variables to other packages - but never used it and never thought of it.

Thanks a mill for actually writing out the files - WITH the correct pins and everything. I could copy your code and compile it directly

You are a true gentleman, thank you sir!
