YAML Templates for configuration.yaml

[cargsl (Carlos S)]

I’m building a dashboard using lovelace and have a bunch of cards that show a chart (using the absolutely great mini-graph-card). All these charts are configured exactly the same except for a couple of fields (entity and icon). Right now I’m copy pasting each card, but making updates to the cards is becoming rather cumbersome.

I wanted to ask if there is a way to use a “template” in configuration.yaml, so I can define the configuration for the card in one place and then get it included in configuration.yaml several times with slightly different parameters.

Decluttering-card is what you are looking for

Lovelace: Decluttering Card

Hey, I’ve created a new card that helps you declutter your LL config if you use multiple times the same block of cards with small differences (like an entity for example) to display things in LL. Visit github for installation instructions, up to date documentation and troubleshooting guide [GitHub Release] [GitHub Activity] [custom_updater] [Project Maintenance] decluttering-card This card is for Lovelace on Home Assistant. We all use multiple times the same block of configuration acros…

It’s not in your configuration.yaml but in your lovelace config, you define a template and can then reuse this with variables.
