📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new configuration structure for template fans in Home Assistant, transitioning from a nested format under the fan platform to a simplified format under a template key. Several configuration keys have been renamed to align with a consistent naming convention. Additionally, YAML examples have been updated to demonstrate the new syntax for defining fan actions. A note has been added to the documentation emphasizing the need for default_config: in the configuration.yaml file for user interface accessibility.
