## Notes / Gotchas

- The Lutron SmartBridge 2 (`0024fcfce6e52a4465c4fbadc16d4ef2`) is assigned to the Media Room but serves as the hub for ALL Lutron Caseta devices in the whole home.
- BRAVIA 4K UR2 appears multiple times in device registry: Cast, AndroidTV Remote, DLNA DMR, and Music Assistant — each integration sees it separately.
- The `letpot` integration is in `setup_retry` — LetPot plant lights may intermittently drop.
- VLC-TELNET provides a local audio output target for TTS and Music Assistant.
