if you have split out sensors into their own YAML file, yes.
Otherwise they would go into configuration.yaml

I made some slight modifications to your example and it worked!
When I initially got everything working the naming scheme was âcotech_376959_121_wsâ and so on. I renemed the device to âWeather Stationâ and it updated everything like: sensor.weather_station_ws
Iâve also included a conversion for rain from mm to inches

Congratulations!!! 
Now, for rainfall there are utility_meter items that can provide daily, weekly, monthly, and annual measurements. Here is what i have so far, but I havenât yet worked out the proper decimal placement for accurate measurements.

Warning tip for others:
I had to replace the batteries in my weather station tonight, after over a year of solid performance. When I did so, the ID value changed from 121 to 0, which changed the MQTT topic ârtl_433/17069798-rtl433/devices[/type][/model][/subtype][/channel][/id]â. I had to edit all of my MQTT sensors and reload YAML files to get the data coming in again.

Can you expand on this? I have a greenhouse I want to incorporate. I am new and have not done any integrations with a RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio
GW2000A from froggit without a cloud directly with restFUL try it as my_weather.yaml

Hi, I just bought Waldbeck Huygens 6 in 1. Itâs up and running, transmitting data to the base station. I got stuck connecting it via rtl_433.
According to the instruction, it transmits at 868MHz. Iâm running:
rtl_433 -f 868M -s 1024k
but Iâm not getting any reads. Any clue?
I tested the dongle by scanning 433MHz frequency and it reads eg my garage door remote, so I assume the dongle works, but why doesnât it read anything on 868MHz?
