Splitting config into multiple files

In HA it is possible to split the configuration into multiple files. This can be useful to keep the configuration clean and organized. The configuration.yaml file can be split into multiple files by using the !include directive. I really recommend to use a separate file for sensors at least. This makes your configuration much cleaner and easier to maintain if you have a lot of sensors.

Example

YAML

# configuration.yaml
sensor: !include sensors.yaml

- platform: template
