Splitting customize in configuration

Configuration
1

Hi! Trying to split my configuration file and get stuck on customize:

In my configuration.yaml I wrote:

customize: !include customizing.yaml

My customizing.yaml includes this.

- sensor.yr_humidity:
    friendly_name: Luftfuktighet
    icon: mdi:water-percent
- sensor.yr_temperature:
    friendly_name: Tempertur
    icon: mdi:temperature-celsius
- sensor.yr_wind_speed:
    friendly_name: Vindhastighet
    icon: mdi:weather-windy
- sensor.yr_condition:
    friendly_name: Nederbörd
    icon: mdi:weather-rainy
- sensor.yr_precipitation:
    friendly_name: Nederbörd
    icon: mdi:weather-rainy
- sensor.yr_symbol:
    friendly_name: Väderlek
- sun.sun:
    friendly_name: Sol
    hidden: true
- device_tracker.linuxlan:
    icon: mdi:raspberrypi
- device_tracker.philipslan:
    icon: mdi:lightbulb
- device_tracker.routerlan:
    icon: mdi:router-wireless
- device_tracker.tivoe800d5bf0c82f56lan:
    icon: mdi:monitor
- device_tracker.android8f3ebbf27d050e6flan:
    icon: mdi:tablet-android
- device_tracker.arbetsrumlan:
    icon: mdi:laptop
- device_tracker.madeleinesmbplan:
    icon: mdi:laptop-mac
- device_tracker.mediaserverlan:
    icon: mdi:server

In my loggfile i found this
homeassistant.bootstrap: Invalid config for [homeassistant]: Expected dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘customize’]. Got [OrderedDict([(‘sensor.yr_humidity’, OrderedDict([(‘friendly_name’, ‘Luftfuktighet’), (‘icon’, ‘mdi:water-percent’)]))]), OrderedDict([(‘sensor.yr_temperature’, OrderedDict([(‘friendly_name’, ‘Tempertur’), (‘icon’, ‘mdi:temperature-celsius’)]))]), OrderedDict([(‘sensor.yr_wind_speed’, OrderedDict([(‘friendly_name’, ‘Vindhastighet’), (‘icon’, ‘mdi:weather-windy’)]))]), OrderedDict([(‘sensor.yr_condition’, OrderedDict([(‘friendly_name’, ‘Nederbörd’), (‘icon’, ‘mdi:weather-rainy’)]))]), OrderedD… (See /var/opt/homeassistant/configuration.yaml:3)

When pasting code in the forum, you need to use the Preformatted Text option on the toolbar of the editor, it looks like this icon:

</>

Otherwise we can not tell the spacing and formatting you used in your configuration.yaml

Hilight the code and click that button so we can see your code how it really is

Other than the dashes, it looks correct.

Under sensors and devices? I

icon, fiendley_name?

Change the file name to customize.yaml and make sure customize: ! include customize.yaml is directly under time_zone: and not with your other ! includes.

Here’s the first section of my customize.yaml (not going to post the whole thing because it’s long):

Is it required to have a single space for the 1st level of indent?

This worked for me. But I don’t get the logic as to why I should have a single leading space on each line i customize.yaml. In my head there should be either zero spaces or two spaces.

Can anyone explain?
