Save Helpers seperatly

Feature Requests
1

Hello,

after a few detours (Homematic, FHEM, ioBroker, etc.) I switched to Home Assistant about half a year ago. Among other things, I use it to control my terrariums (seasonal day length adjustment for different climate zones).

I have a few comments on this:

1.) I use a relatively large number of “helpers” for this control. In addition to saving the entire system, I would like to be able to save the “Helpers” separately so that I can make my control available to other interested parties without them having to see my entire home automation. Would something like this be possible?

2.) I realise the majority of my control via various JavaScripts in NodeRed. This works very well, but it would be nice to be able to execute something like JavaScripts in the automation.

3.) If you have many automations, scenes or scripts, the whole thing becomes confusing. Here I would like to see a “folder structure”. Scripts could be ordered according to subject areas, rooms or trades.

All in all, Home Assistant is the best SmartHome system I have used so far!
Keep up the good work and thank you!

Have you actually read the documentation linked above fro Tom? :wink: Packages are exactly what you’re asking for. :slight_smile:

You seperate some things into one package (=file) and have all the relevant info in that one file. :slight_smile:

#1 is a package file. All input_X listed in one file, so you can share it.
#2 This is not possible, at least not as plain Javascript. But you always have the template language from Jinja. That should be more than enough for most things. :slight_smile:
#3 That is the perfect description for packages.

You should really take a closer look to the packages link posted above. :slight_smile:
