Templating has felt like homework for too long in @home_assistant 😅

I reworked the docs with one goal: make them more approachable. Every function has its own page now, with real examples and a searchable error index.

No batteries. No plugs. Just swap out your existing outside light and you’re good to go.

The TTlock HACs integration gives you pretty much full control and management over your TTLock devices in @home_assistant but did you know you can also cut the cloud and use a Matter Bridge?
