📝 Walkthrough

"""

Walkthrough

The documentation for the APC UPS Daemon (apcupsd) integration in Home Assistant was updated to provide a comprehensive "Prerequisites" section. This new section offers step-by-step guidance for installing and configuring apcupsd on various operating systems, including editing the configuration file for network access and starting the service. The previous brief notes about supported device types and unofficial add-on installation were replaced, and the explanation regarding connection errors was clarified to direct users to check their network configuration. No changes were made to code or public entities.

Changes

Tip

⚡💬 Agentic Chat (Pro Plan, General Availability)

We're introducing multi-step agentic chat in review comments and issue comments, within and outside of PR's. This feature enhances review and issue discussions with the CodeRabbit agentic chat by enabling advanced interactions, including the ability to create pull requests directly from comments and add commits to existing pull requests.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
- Generate unit testing code for this file.
- Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
- @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

54-54: Minor style improvement: use "cannot" instead of "not able to".

For conciseness and readability, consider changing "not able to connect" to "cannot connect" as suggested by style guidelines.
-If you get `ConnectionRefusedError: Connection refused` errors in the Home Assistant logs, it means that Home Assistant is not able to connect to the daemon. Please check if the `NISIP` is properly configured.

23-49: Excellent addition of the "Prerequisites" section.

The new step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring apcupsd on multiple platforms are clear, accurate, and greatly improve the usability of the documentation. This will help users avoid common setup pitfalls and aligns well with Home Assistant documentation standards.

23-28: Optimize prerequisites spacing and update link to HTTPS
The “Prerequisites” header and first step are clear, but there are multiple blank lines that should be collapsed to a single blank line. Also, switch the apcupsd URL to HTTPS for improved security:
- [apcupsd](http://www.apcupsd.org/)
+ [apcupsd](https://www.apcupsd.org/)
44-45: Refine error note phrasing
Use “cannot connect” instead of “is not able to connect” to improve readability:
- it means that Home Assistant is not able to connect to the daemon.
+ it means that Home Assistant cannot connect to the daemon.

The instructions for configuring network access (item 2) and starting the service (item 3) use correct markdown list syntax and are concise. No changes needed here.
