Using one giant groups.yaml is unwieldly. Most of the groups are oriented around a room, so I had this idea of maybe making one package per room with the group component? It totally works.
The main downside to this is that the order that groups get created changes a bit, and the dashboard view shows things in order that they are declared. That is fixed by changing them in customize.yaml.
I also moved cloud/alexa configuration into its own package, thinking I could add groups to be used as aliases, like office for attic, but ended up removing those 😅
I have some javascript I'm kicking around to find orphaned entities in groups, and fixed a few of those.
