I’m just going to come out and say it. My Home Assistant configuration files were a mess before I took some time to organize them. The configuration.yaml<\/code> file was filled with code and disorganized. My automations were all in one file, and I have over 100 automations. My scripts were in a similar situation. Over time, I built up dozens of sensor and binary_sensor templates, all in my configuration.yaml<\/code> file. After appearing on the Home Assistant podcast<\/a> and receiving encouragement (chastisement?) to split my files up by hosts Phil Hawthorne<\/a> and Rohan Karamandi<\/a>, I decided to get organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
