📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation for the Areas dashboard was reorganized and expanded. The original section on editing the dashboard was divided into three new subsections: instructions for adding an Areas dashboard, steps for editing it (including a prerequisite about entity assignment), and troubleshooting advice for entities not appearing. A new experimental note and a limitations section were added to clarify which devices and entities are not shown automatically. The content was clarified and expanded, but no changes were made to code or exported entities.

Changes

File Change Summary
source/dashboards/dashboards.markdown Enhanced Areas dashboard documentation with an experimental note, added limitations section, restructured editing instructions into adding, editing, and troubleshooting subsections.

Sequence Diagram(s)

    • 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 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.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
source/dashboards/dashboards.markdown (3)

58-61: Consistent capitalization for dashboard name
The heading and link text should consistently capitalize “Areas” when referring to the Areas dashboard (e.g., Areas dashboard).

Consider updating to:

- #### Adding an areas dashboard
+ #### Adding the **Areas** dashboard

62-67: Clarify editing steps and improve grammar
The second step could be more precise and grammatically smooth. You might explicitly instruct users to select the Areas dashboard before clicking the pencil icon and use a more natural phrasing.

For example:

- 1. Make sure all the {% term entities %} are [assigned to an area](/docs/organizing/areas/#assigning-an-area-to-multiple-items).
- 2. After you [added the dashboard](#creating-a-new-dashboard), you can edit the **Areas** dashboard.
- 3. In the top-right corner, select the {% icon "mdi:pencil" %} icon.
- 4. You can show or hide sections, rearrange the content, or [add badges](/dashboards/badges/).
+ 1. Ensure all {% term entities %} are [assigned to an area](/docs/organizing/areas/#assigning-an-area-to-multiple-items).
+ 2. Navigate to **Settings > Dashboards** and select the **Areas** dashboard.
+ 3. In the top-right corner, click the {% icon "mdi:pencil" %} icon to enter edit mode.
+ 4. You can show or hide sections, rearrange content, or [add badges](/dashboards/badges/).

71-74: Expand troubleshooting with refresh hint & heading consistency
Users might need to reload the dashboard to see updates. Also, capitalize “Areas” in the heading for consistency.

You could revise to:

- #### My entity is not showing on the areas dashboard
+ #### My entity is not showing on the **Areas** dashboard
- If your {% term entity %} is not displayed on the areas dashboard, it is probably not assigned to an area. [Assign the entity to an area](/docs/organizing/areas/#assigning-an-area-to-multiple-items) and check the dashboard again.
+ If your {% term entity %} is not displayed on the Areas dashboard, it is likely not assigned to an area. [Assign the entity to an area](/docs/organizing/areas/#assigning-an-area-to-multiple-items), then reload the dashboard to see the changes.

📜 Review details

@coderabbitai:

  1. what makes you think a refresh is needed?
  2. We don't say navigate to, we use "go to". Please remember that for future reviews.
  3. We don't prefer "ensure" over "make sure". Please remember that for future reviews.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@c0ffeeca7 Thank you for your questions and feedback:

  1. You're right to question the refresh recommendation. I made an assumption based on general web app behavior without specific evidence that Home Assistant requires a refresh in this case. I apologize for this unfounded suggestion.

  2. I'll remember to use "go to" instead of "navigate to" in future reviews.

  3. I'll also remember that you prefer "make sure" over "ensure" in your documentation.

Thank you for these clarifications about your documentation style preferences. This helps me provide more accurate and helpful reviews in the future.

  1. just don't make things up.
  2. No, that's not what I said. I just said we don't prefer ensure over make sure. So don't correct people if they use either option.
