Packages
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>Packages in Home Assistant provides a way to bundle different components configuration together. We were already introduced to the two configuration styles (specifying platforms entries together or individually) on the <a href="/docs/configuration/devices/">adding devices</a> page. Both of these configuration methods require you to create the component key in the main <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file. With packages we have a way to include different components, or parts of configuration using any of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">!include</code> directives introduced in <a href="/docs/configuration/splitting_configuration">splitting the configuration</a>.</p>
<p>Packages are configured under the core <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant/packages</code> in the configuration and take the format of a packages name (no spaces, all lower case) followed by a dictionary with the package config. For example, package <code class="highlighter-rouge">pack_1</code> would be created as:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">...</span>
<span class="s">packages</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">pack_1</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">...package configuration here...</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>The package configuration can include: <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">light</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">groups</code> or the majority of the Home Assistant components.</p>
<p>It can be specified inline or in a seperate YAML file using <code class="highlighter-rouge">!include</code>.</p>
<p>Inline example, main <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">...</span>
<span class="s">packages</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">pack_1</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">switch</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">rest</span>
<span class="s">...</span>
<span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">rpi</span>
<span class="s">...</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Include example, main <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">...</span>
<span class="s">packages</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">pack_1</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include</span> <span class="s">my_package.yaml</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>The file <code class="highlighter-rouge">my_package.yaml</code> contains the “top-level” configuration:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>switch:
- platform: rest
...
light:
- platform: rpi
...
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>There are some rules for packages that will be merged:</p>
<ol>
<li>Component names may only use the basic form (e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch 1</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch aa</code> is not accepted).</li>
<li>Platform based components (<code class="highlighter-rouge">light</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch</code>, etc) can always be merged.</li>
<li>
<p>Components where entities are identified by a key that will represent the entity_id (<code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">key:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">config</span><span class="p">}</span></code>) need to have unique keys between packages and the main configuration file.</p>
<p>For example if we have the following in the main config. You are not allowed to re-use “my_input” again for <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_boolean</code> in a package:</p>
<p><code class="highlighter-rouge">yaml
input_boolean:
my_input:
</code></p>
</li>
<li>Any component that is not a platform [2], or dictionaries with Entity ID keys [3] cannot be merged and can only occur once between all packages and the main configuration.</li>
</ol>
<p class="note tip">
Components inside packages can only specify platform entries using configuration style 1, where all the platforms are grouped under the component name.
</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="create-a-packages-folder" href="#create-a-packages-folder"></a> Create a packages folder</h3>
<p>One way to organise packages would be to create a folder named “packages” in your Home Assistant configuration directory. In the packages directory you can store any number of packages in a YAML file. This entry in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> will load all packages:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">packages</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include_dir_named</span> <span class="s">packages</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>This uses the concept splitting the configuration and will include all files in a directory with the keys representing the filenames.
See the documentation about <a href="/docs/configuration/splitting_configuration/">splitting the configuration</a> for more information about <code class="highlighter-rouge">!include_dir_named</code> and other include statements that might be helpful.</p>
