📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change introduces a new integration documentation file for Miele appliances within Home Assistant. The document provides detailed instructions on setting up the integration using the official third-party API. It outlines prerequisites such as signing up for a developer account, obtaining a client ID and secret, and using a lowercase email address for authentication. The file covers various use cases including monitoring appliance sensors, remotely starting programs, adjusting settings, receiving live updates via server-sent events, as well as automation examples and troubleshooting guidelines.

18-18: Punctuation in Introduction
Consider changing “sensors, switches etc” to “sensors, switches, etc.” to conform with standard American English punctuation.🧰 Tools
🪛 LanguageTool
[style] ~18-~18: In American English, abbreviations like “etc.” require a period.
Context: ...-points in the API to sensors, switches etc in Home Assistant. ## Use cases - Mon...(ETC_PERIOD)
28-30: Note Block Clarity
Consider revising the sentence in the note to read: “Note that feature availability depends on the appliance model.” This rewording can improve clarity.
38-41: Prerequisites: Grammar Correction Needed
On line 39, change “Enter an arbitrary name for you connection…” to “Enter an arbitrary name for your connection…” to correct the grammatical error.🧰 Tools
🪛 LanguageTool
[grammar] ~39-~39: Check that the noun ‘connection’ after the pronoun ‘you’ is correct. It’s possible that you may need to switch to a possessive pronoun, or use another part of speech.
Context: ...account. 2. Enter an arbitrary name for you connection and the email of your login for the ori...(PRP_VB)
45-47: Important Block: Minor Typographical Adjustments
- On line 46, insert a comma after “Miele app” so that it reads: “Even though it works in the Miele app, it may not work with the API.”
- On line 47, update the text to: “Allow a couple of minutes to get the activation email. All changes in the developer portal take a couple of minutes before the change is implemented.”

51-61: Details Block: Verify Extraneous Characters
Review the double quotation mark at the end of line 60. If this is unintentional, consider removing it to maintain formatting consistency.
75-82: Sensor Details: Clarification Recommended
Under the “Sensor” details (line 81), the phrase “Availability: All the appliances with programs” could be ambiguous. Consider providing a clearer explanation of what is meant by “Availability” in this context.

32-42: Supported Devices and Prerequisites Clarity with a Minor Link Inconsistency
The "Supported devices" and "Prerequisites" sections offer clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up the integration. However, note that in the first prerequisite, the link’s visible text (https://www.miele.com/developer) does not match its URL (https://www.miele.com/f/com/en/register_api.aspx). This mismatch might confuse users. Please verify and adjust the link text or URL for consistency.

The introduction and "Use cases" block clearly explain what the Miele integration offers. The listed use cases effectively outline typical user scenarios. Consider, if applicable, linking directly to any official API documentation for users who need more details.
28-30: Effective Use of the Note Block
The{% note %}block succinctly reminds users that feature availability may depend on the appliance model. This concise warning is clear and appropriately highlighted.
43-49: Important Account Details are Clearly Highlighted
The{% important %}block effectively emphasizes critical requirements—such as using a lowercase email address and avoiding special characters in the password—to prevent authentication issues. This section is clear and action oriented.
51-59: Well-Documented Callback Usage Details
The details block regarding the usage of<HOME_ASSISTANT_URL>when "My Home Assistant" is disabled is clear and instructive. It provides necessary context for users who might need an alternative redirect URI.
64-66: Consistent Inclusion of Standard Config Flow Instructions
The{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}directive is correctly used to insert common configuration flow details. This maintains consistency across documentation pages.
66-74: Concise Explanation of Supported Functionality
The section explaining that the integration configuration will request the Client ID and Client Secret and outlining functionality details is succinct and clear. This helps set proper expectations regarding entity availability based on appliance type and generation.

The "Sensor" section, including the details block outlining properties such as "Operation state" and "Availability," is simple and informative. It effectively communicates sensor-related information without unnecessary complexity.
85-109: Automation Examples Provide Practical Guidance
The "Automation examples" section, complete with a YAML code snippet, is well crafted. The example is clearly formatted and shows a practical use case (sending a notification when a program ends). This will be very helpful for users intending to set up automations.
111-116: Clear Description of Data Update Mechanism
The "Data updates" section offers a clear explanation of how server-sent events are used to receive live updates, and how the integration behaves during reconnection scenarios. This information is critical for understanding the integration’s real-time data flow.
