Feature Request alexa.yaml include_entities and entity_config
Hello If you have many devices, the optional part below entity_config: is quickly forgotten or overlooked. Therefore, it would be good if the missing optional entry is displayed.
Example:
alexa:
smart_home:
include_entities:
- light.tv_lamp
- light.floor_lamp
- switch.smartplug
entity_config:
light.tv_lamp:
name: "tv_lamp
display_categories: LIGHT
description: "Lamp next to the TV
switch.smartplug:
name: "My Smartplug"
display_categories: LIGHT
Here the light.floor_lamp is missing under entity_config: - that should definitely be displayed in Watchman.
The entity_config: only makes sense if the other attributes are set. Therefore, please also check whether they are present. The display_categories: is probably SMARTPLUG instead of LIGHT The description is missing for the smartplug.
Homeassistant also does not check whether the include_entities: exist in HA. For example, I had accidentally written "TV lamps" (more number), so Alexa has not recognized the lamp.
Thanks for the good work
