21-42: Enhanced Configuration Parameters Documentation
The added configuration block clearly defines each parameter—the required Username, Password, and Account fields as well as the optional Client ID/Secret fields. The descriptions are concise and adhere to Home Assistant’s documentation standards.Suggestion: Consider including a brief note or example about where to obtain the “Account” value, if applicable.
44-52: Client Credentials Note Clarity
The note effectively informs users that for most cases, the Client ID/Secret can be left blank in favor of the default app credentials. However, you might clarify that the MITM proxy method is intended for advanced troubleshooting only and ensure users understand it’s not a recommended first step.
60-83: Template Sensor Instructions for GST and Conversion
The instructions within the note provide clear guidance on how to create a template sensor to add GST or convert the pricing to dollars. It might be beneficial to explicitly mention that the example assumes a 15% GST rate so users in different regions can adjust the multiplier accordingly.
131-133: Troubleshooting Language Refinement
In the "No services are active on this Flick account" details block, consider rephrasing “if your account is active but is not able to be selected” to “if your account is active but cannot be selected.” This revision removes the passive construction and aligns with the recommended style guidelines.🧰 Tools

89-111: Example Automation Clarity
The example automation, which demonstrates turning off the heat pump when the price exceeds 40¢/kWh, is well-documented and the YAML snippet is correctly formatted. Ensure that this sample aligns with the latest Home Assistant automation schema for consistency.

98-101: Refine Data Updates Description
The sentence in the "Data updates" section could be rephrased for greater clarity. For example, consider revising it to:
"The integration polls the Flick Electric API every 5 minutes for the current power price. You can also trigger an on-demand refresh using thehomeassistant.update_entityaction."
This revision avoids potential repetition of verbs and improves readability.
115-117: Improve Wording in No Active Services Troubleshooting
To improve conciseness and avoid passive phrasing, consider replacing "is not able to be selected" with "cannot be selected." For example:-Only active accounts are supported by this integration. If your account is active but is not able to be selected, check with Flick Electric to ensure that it is showing as active in their system. +Only active accounts are supported by this integration. If your account is active but cannot be selected, check with Flick Electric to ensure that it is showing as active in their system.This change enhances readability and clarity.

21-42: Clear Configuration Block
The new configuration block is well structured and clearly documents all required and optional parameters, including clear descriptions, types, and requirement flags for "Username", "Password", "Client ID", "Client Secret", and "Account".
44-51: Informative Note on Client Credentials
This note effectively communicates that for most users the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" fields can be left blank, and it provides useful troubleshooting guidance if authentication credentials need updating.
52-57: Supported Functionality Section Clarity
The "Supported functionality" section clearly explains that the integration offers a sensor entity for the power price and details the related attributes. No issues found.
58-73: Comprehensive Template Sensor Instructions
The note providing template sensor instructions is detailed and helpful, covering both GST addition and currency conversion examples. A quick proofread to ensure consistency in formatting could be beneficial, but overall the segment is excellent.
78-97: Example Automation is Clear and Practical
The YAML example for turning off the heat pump when the price exceeds 40¢/kWh is clear, well-formatted, and demonstrates a useful automation scenario.
110-113: Troubleshooting: Pricing Retrieval Clarification
The troubleshooting section for when the API cannot find pricing for the selected account is clear and instructive. It rightly advises users to check their account configuration with Flick Electric.

21-32: Configuration Block: Clear Documentation of Authentication ParametersThe new configuration block correctly documents the available fields (Username, Password, Client ID, Client Secret, and Account). To further help users, consider explicitly marking which fields are required and which are optional (e.g. noting that Client ID and Client Secret can be omitted). This additional detail can help prevent any potential confusion during setup.
34-41: Note Block: Client ID/Secret Fallback ClarificationThe note block effectively informs users that for most cases the Client ID/Secret can be left blank and that Home Assistant will default to the app’s credentials. For improved clarity, you might explicitly state that if these fields are left blank, the integration will fall back on the default credentials provided by the Flick Electric mobile app.
51-59: Note Block: Enhance Template Sensor Instructions ClarityThe guidance on customizing the sensor output (for adding GST and converting the display to dollars) is useful. However, combining both instructions in a single note block might be a bit confusing for users. Consider splitting these into two subsections (e.g., “Add GST” and “Convert to Dollars”) or adding clear subheadings within the note to improve readability and ease of following the steps.
104-108: Troubleshooting Note: Improve Selection LanguageThe troubleshooting detail currently reads:
"Only active accounts are supported by this integration. If your account is active but is not able to be selected, check with Flick Electric to ensure that it is showing as active in their system."
For enhanced clarity and to adhere to a more direct style, consider rephrasing "is not able to be selected" to "cannot be selected" or "is not selectable." For example:
-If your account is active but is not able to be selected, check with Flick Electric to ensure that it is showing as active in their system. +If your account is active but cannot be selected, check with Flick Electric to ensure that it appears as active in their system.🧰 Tools
