Scenes.yaml

At some stage in the future, it would be great if we could move our scenes from configuration.yaml out to a scenes.yaml file

It would help to keep the configuration file to a manageable size.

You can do this and always have been able to so far as I know. My scenes have always been in a scenes.yaml file…

Thanks David
I just tried it and it would not let me do an !include after scene: and there is nothing in documentation about it.

Are you able to help me out please?

What errors do you see when checking config?

When using !include, the format of the scenes.yaml is important.

So please add your properly formatted actual file contents so we can help out.

scene: !include scene.yaml

And I have a scene.yaml file.

(Make sure the scene.yaml does not start with scene:)

Thanks David
That is probably where I went wrong, I simply cut and pasted my scenes from configuration.yaml

Let me try again with the change and report back.

Yeah it’s easy to miss that of course…

meremortal · June 23, 2019, 6:20am

That fixed it, Thanks David and Robert.

Do I bump this topic out of feature requests?

You already did.

To increase his karma, you could always mark “solved” the topic from David with his solution, and star it.
