🧹 Nitpick comments (3)

31-31: Grammar & clarity – rephrase the opening sentence

The current wording is a bit hard to parse (“…as also trigger so called smart home templates…”). A small rewrite makes it flow better and removes the “so called” filler.

-The AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration for Home Assistant allows you to integrate [AVM Smart Home](https://en.fritz.com/products/smart-home/) (_former AVM FRITZ!DECT_) devices like plugs, thermostats or shutter drivers as also trigger so called smart home templates (_contains settings for Smart Home devices of the same type_).
+The AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration for Home Assistant lets you integrate [AVM Smart Home](https://en.fritz.com/products/smart-home/) devices—such as plugs, thermostats, or shutter drivers—and also trigger so-called smart-home templates (pre-configured settings for devices of the same type).

82-82: Typo – replace “eq.” with “e.g.”

-... devices like the [FRITZ!Smart Control 350][fritzdect_350] door/window contact sensors or the [FRITZ!Smart Control 440][fritzdect_440] buttons (_see the [other devices](#other-devices) section for details_).
+... devices such as the [FRITZ!Smart Control 350][fritzdect_350] door/window contact sensors or the [FRITZ!Smart Control 440][fritzdect_440] buttons (_see the [other devices](#other-devices) section for details_).

138-138: Typo – “e.g.” instead of “eq.” + plural pronoun

-Event based devices like motion detection sensors or window/door contacts or buttons (_eq. [FRITZ!Smart Control 350][fritzdect_350] or the [FRITZ!Smart Control 440][fritzdect_440]_) can't be controlled nor used via this integration, but its sensors can still be integrated.

35-44: List indentation – keep sub-items consistently indented

Markdown requires two spaces (or a tab) before a nested “-” to keep it inside its parent list item.
Lines 44 (“FRITZ!Smart Gateway”) is at the root level, so visually it belongs to the top list and renders fine. If you intended it to be a peer of “FRITZ!Box routers”/“FRITZ!SmartHome devices”, no change is needed. Otherwise indent it by two spaces.

No change required if the current rendering is intentional.


59-60: Mesh note looks great

Good call-out. Clear wording and the link resolves to FRITZ! documentation. 👍


75-78: Config description link is accurate

The anchor switch from “#prerequisites” to “#username” matches the new dedicated section – nice touch.

138-138: Use “cannot” instead of “can not”

Same grammar issue flagged in previous review—please switch to the single-word form for consistency.

-Event based devices like motion detection sensors or window/door contacts or buttons (_eq. [FRITZ!Smart Control 350][fritzdect_350] or the [FRITZ!Smart Control 440][fritzdect_440]_) can not be controlled or used via this integration, but its sensors can still be integrated.

31-31: Rephrase awkward sentence for clarity

The construction “as also trigger so called smart home templates” is grammatically off and hard to parse. A concise alternative:

-The AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration for Home Assistant allows you to integrate [AVM Smart Home](https://en.fritz.com/products/smart-home/) (_former AVM FRITZ!DECT_) devices like plugs, thermostats or shutter drivers as also trigger so called smart home templates (_contains settings for Smart Home devices of the same type_).
+The AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration for Home Assistant lets you integrate [AVM Smart Home](https://en.fritz.com/products/smart-home/) devices—such as plugs, thermostats, and shutter drivers—and trigger so-called Smart Home templates (preset configurations for devices of the same type).

59-60: Minor wording tweak for the mesh note

Consider adding “only” before “be added” to emphasize exclusivity and replace the passive voice:

-Please note that in a [mesh](https://en.fritz.com/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-Box-7590/3329_Mesh-with-FRITZ/) setup, only the FRITZ!Box with the mesh master role should be added with the AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration.
+In a [mesh](https://en.fritz.com/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-Box-7590/3329_Mesh-with-FRITZ/) setup, **add only** the FRITZ!Box that has the mesh-master role to the AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration.

Pull Request Overview

This PR revises the AVM FRITZ!Smarthome documentation by updating links to the new fritz.com domain, renaming and regrouping devices, and adding notes for mesh setups and event-based device limitations

  • Added a note to only add the mesh master FRITZ!Box in mesh setups
  • Updated all AVM product links to use the https://en.fritz.com base URL
  • Renamed/reorganized devices (e.g., FRITZ!Smart Gateway, FRITZ!Smart Energy/Thermo) and improved event-based device descriptions
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (3)

source/_integrations/fritzbox.markdown:31

  • [nitpick] This sentence is hard to follow and has a grammar issue. Consider rephrasing to: "…devices like plugs, thermostats, or shutter drivers, and can also trigger so-called smart home templates."
The AVM FRITZ!SmartHome integration for Home Assistant allows you to integrate [AVM Smart Home](https://en.fritz.com/products/smart-home/) (_former AVM FRITZ!DECT_) devices like plugs, thermostats or shutter drivers as also trigger so called smart home templates (_contains settings for Smart Home devices of the same type_).

source/_integrations/fritzbox.markdown:82

  • Avoid contractions in documentation; replace "can't" with "cannot" for a more formal tone and consistency with the style guide.
Since the API of the FRITZ!Box does not provide a push mechanism, this integration polls the data every 30 seconds from the FRITZ!Box. Because of this, the integration can't support the main features of event-based devices like the [FRITZ!Smart Control 350][fritzdect_350] door/window contact sensors or the [FRITZ!Smart Control 440][fritzdect_440] buttons (_see the [other devices](#other-devices) section for details_).

source/_integrations/fritzbox.markdown:51

  • The list item "Magenta SmartHome LED E27 warmwhite" below remains unindented and appears at the wrong level. Nest it under this heading for proper Markdown hierarchy.
- Smart home devices from other vendors
