I want to use configurations from my own git repo on the NAS, that feature would makes it easier for multiple copies of components in combination with the home assistant esphome addon. Because the addon don't support multiple configuration files on a easy way.
This would really benefit some of our configurations over at https://github.com/esphome-econet/esphome-econet as for multi-zone HVAC systems you will want to create a component for each zone/thermostat and currently we end up copying lots of yaml configurations when we'd rather have a single YAML that we can import repeatedly for each zone.
This would highly reduce unnecessary package copies and make them much more extensible and maintainable.
Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like We would like to create configurations in which we instantiate multiple copies of our components, but with different configuration. We are trying to do this using remote packages, but hitting an issue where
vars:
is not supported for remote packages as they are for!include
packages.E.g. we would like to create config like the following:
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried: Our ESPHome component (https://github.com/esphome-econet/esphome-econet) can be used to control a thermostat. For homes with multi-zone HVAC systems, we'd want to instantiate multiple thermostats on a single ESPHome controller.
