- Added a new section in README.md for creating and managing lights by room in Home Assistant, linking to a focused guide. - Enhanced the all-lights-and-rooms.md documentation with a reference to the new guide for clarity on entity creation and room assignment. - Made minor adjustments to the room-config.js file, commenting out outdated device-to-room mappings to improve code clarity. This update improves the documentation and usability for users managing lights and rooms in Home Assistant.
