## Notes / Gotchas

- "Living Room Pendants" (Lutron) is registered under the `patio` area_id — this is because these pendants are physically on the patio side of the living/patio space.
- The Porch KS205 is exposed as both a `switch` and a `light` via the `switch_as_x` integration (entry ID: `01KGVC6667EY13D9V1M4F47RN2`).
