    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:

    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.

194-197: Enhance readability with minor grammatical improvements.

Consider these minor adjustments to improve clarity:

  • Add a comma after "username" in line 194: "...that your username, which is your case-sensitive email address"
  • Consider adding bullet points for better visual separation of steps
-- Ensure that your username is your TP-Link cloud username which is your *case-sensitive* email address.
+- Ensure that your username is your TP-Link cloud username, which is your *case-sensitive* email address.

235-247: Consider adding a note about log retention.

The debug logging instructions are clear and well-structured. Consider adding a note about how long to keep debug logging enabled, as it may impact performance if left on indefinitely.

   default: warning  # This will already be present. Add the lines below.
   logs:
     homeassistant.components.tplink: debug

Looks great, I think we want to have parts of these instructions also synced into python-kasa end user docs?

 - Disable or remove any custom integrations that interact with TPLink devices supported by this integration.
+- Ensure stable network connectivity between Home Assistant and the device.

227-227: Add a comma for better readability.
