## Notes / Gotchas

- The `ratgdov2.5i` ESPHome device has no HA area assigned in the device registry — entities are correctly assigned to `garage` area but the parent device shows `area_id: null`.
- Two separate Garage Smart Lock entities exist: one via Matter (Aqara Smart Lock U100) and the `ratgdov2.5i e4d21f Lock remotes` (which controls RATGDO's remote access, not the door lock itself).
- The Reolink Driveway camera uses the `reolink` native integration (not RTSP-only) — this provides full motion detection, AI detection, siren, and floodlight control.
