custom files

[ntrits]

Can I add optional files to the devices folder and not lose them when upgrading?

If you update via HACS, I think it removes the entire directory when upgrading.
If you manually install you can manage the files how you wish.

Thanks for reply.
Upgrade via HACS.
Could there be some way to not delete all folders or to include some custom folder?
Now every time there is an upgrade I have to copy the extra files I created to the devices folder.

Example: https://github.com/ntrits/tuya-local-devices

[make-all]

No, it is not my goal to help people keep their own private device configs for themselves.

[ntrits]

OK, that's a very good point.
Can these be integrated as well?

And what should I do so they can be integrated with any others I create in the future?

[make-all]

smartmcb_smt006_energymeter.yaml already exists, so I am looking though your config to see what the differences are. For the other one, you should submit a pull request or new device request with all the details.

Thank you!

I'm curious why we can't have support for a separate folder to keep custom files outside of the custom_components directory? I have a few I use for testing and lost them after an upgrade.
