Help with set-up YAML

[graetztj]

I have successfully set-up and deployed my first emporia vue using the documentation that was excellent. I am now working to set-up my second emporia because I have 2 separate 200amp panels. I am getting errors with my YAML that I can't figure out since it looks basically the same as my YAML from the 1st Vue I installed.

INFO ESPHome 2023.11.6
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/esphome-web-cc0398.yaml...
ERROR Error while reading config: Invalid YAML syntax:

expected '', but found ''
in "/config/esphome/esphome-web-cc0398.yaml", line 5, column 1:
external_components:
^

above is the error output and below is my YAML. I am new to ESPHome and Home Assistant, but I am making progress and appreciate the community support. Apologies for anything I am doing wrong and happy to buy coffee for those that help me solve my problems. Based on the output above, it is a problem w/ line 5, but "googling" hasn't helped me resolve this yet. Thanks!

these are called references in YAML. They allow you to reuse

this configuration in each sensor, while only defining it once

.defaultfilters:

• &throttle_avg

  average all raw readings together over a 5 second span before publishing

  throttle_average: 5s
• &throttle_time

  only send the most recent measurement every 60 seconds

  throttle: 60s
• &invert

  invert and filter out any values below 0.

  lambda: 'return max(-x, 0.0f);'
• &pos

  filter out any values below 0.

  lambda: 'return max(x, 0.0f);'
• &abs

  take the absolute value of the value

  lambda: 'return abs(x);'

    To calculate new calibration value use the formula * /

    voltage:

    filters: [*throttle_avg, *pos]

    input: RED # Vue device wire color
    calibration: 0.022 # 0.022 is used as the default as starting point but may need adjusted to ensure accuracy

    ct_clamps:

  Do not specify a name for any of the power sensors here, only an id. This leaves the power sensors internal to ESPHome.

  Copy sensors will filter and then send power measurements to HA

  These non-throttled power sensors are used for accurately calculating energy

  • phase_id: phase_a
    input: "A" # Verify the CT going to this device input also matches the phase/leg
    power:
    id: phase_a_power
    filters: [*pos]
  • phase_id: phase_b
    input: "B" # Verify the CT going to this device input also matches the phase/leg
    power:
    id: phase_b_power
    filters: [*pos]

  Pay close attention to set the phase_id for each breaker by matching it to the phase/leg it connects to in the panel

  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "1", power: { id: cir1, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "2", power: { id: cir2, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "3", power: { id: cir3, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "4", power: { id: cir4, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "5", power: { id: cir5, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "6", power: { id: cir6, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "7", power: { id: cir7, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "8", power: { id: cir8, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "9", power: { id: cir9, filters: [ multiply: 2 ] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "10", power: { id: cir10, filters: [ multiply: 2 ] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "11", power: { id: cir11, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "12", power: { id: cir12, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "13", power: { id: cir13, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "14", power: { id: cir14, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_a, input: "15", power: { id: cir15, filters: [] } }
  • { phase_id: phase_b, input: "16", power: { id: cir16, filters: [] } } #*pos
    on_update:
    then:
    • component.update: total_power
    • component.update: balance_power

The copy sensors filter and send the power state to HA

• { platform: copy, name: "Phase B Power", source_id: phase_b_power, filters: *throttle_avg }

When this question went live, I see the formatting clearly is off. Let me try looking at that.
