home assistant 101: creating and using packages

home assistant is a powerful open-source platform for smart home automation. one of its features is the ability to use packages, which allows you to organize your configuration files in a more modular way. this tutorial will cover the basics of creating and using packages in home assistant.

what is a package?

a package in home assistant is a way to group multiple configuration components together in a single yaml file. this can include automations, scripts, sensors, binary sensors, and even entire integrations. by using packages, you can keep your configuration organized and manageable, especially as your smart home grows in complexity.

setting up packages

step 1: enable packages in configuration.yaml

first, you need to ensure that your `configuration.yaml` file is set up to allow packages. open your `configuration.yaml` file and add the following line:



this line tells home assistant to look for a directory named `packages` where you can store your package files.

step 2: create the packages directory

now, create a directory named `packages` in your home assistant configuration folder. this is where you will store your package yaml files.

step 3: create your first package

inside the `packages` directory, create a new yaml file. for example, you could name it `lighting.yaml`. this file will contain all the configurations related to your lighting automation.



explanation of the package

**automations**: the package contains two automations. the first one turns on the living room lights at sunset, and the second one turns them off at midnight.
**script**: the package also includes a script that can turn on multiple lights in the house with a single command.

step 4: check configuration and restart home assistant

after creating your package, it’s essential to check your configuration for any errors. you can do this in the home assistant ui under configuration settings server controls check ...
