- Updated global variable lists in GVL_IO.gvl and GVL_NVL_placeholders.gvl to reflect new room naming conventions and structures. - Revised PLC_App.st to map new room configurations for lighting control. - Enhanced documentation in all-lights-and-rooms.md and ha-lights-and-rooms.md to align with updated room and light entity naming. - Adjusted room-config.js and related Node-RED flows to support the new configuration structure. This update improves the organization and clarity of room and light management within the Node-RED integration, ensuring consistency across the system.
