This uses the concept splitting the configuration and will include all files in a directory with the keys representing the filenames.
See the documentation about [splitting the configuration](/docs/configuration/splitting_configuration/) for more information about `!include_dir_named` and other include statements that might be helpful. The benefit of this approach is to pull all configurations required to integrate a system, into one file, rather than across several.

The following example allows to have subfolders in the `packages` folder, which could make managing multiple packages easier by grouping:

```yaml
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_merge_named packages/
```

and in `packages/subsystem1/functionality1.yaml`:

```yaml
subsystem1_functionality1:
input_boolean:
...
binary_sensor:
...
automation:
```
