Split automations - automation entities now gone

I decided to split my automations.yaml file for manageability. I included this in configuration.yaml

automation: !include_dir_merge_list automation

I then created a folder automation and a file.yaml for each automation removing the -id line. All of the automations are found and are working…but

  1. there are no longer automation entities
  2. the automations are not shown in configuration/automations

I was using lovelace to activate or deactivate automations and I need that function, but without entities, how do I control whether an automation should be active or not?

Add the id back. This is required to index the automation in the UI.

Or just list all your automations in an entities card in a Lovelace view.

thanks…that will help with one problem…the other is more difficult and deserves a separate issue.

which one are you referring to here?

All is now working…thanks
