📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughA new note has been added to the documentation for the Big Ass Fans (BAF) integration, addressing the availability of climate and climate sensors for models featuring Auto Comfort. It clarifies that these sensors are supplied by the remote control rather than the fan itself. The note also indicates that if the fan loses connection to the remote, these entities may become unavailable while the fan continues to operate. Users are advised to consult vendor documentation for reconnecting the fan to the remote and to reload the integration to restore entity availability. Changes

maybe it's worth adding a Troubleshooting section to this page. It's too far out for me to make a suggestion at the end of the page, but maybe something like this:
Troubleshooting
Climate
Symptom: Climate and climate sensors are unavailable
The climate sensors have been successfully integrated into Home Assistant, but they have become unavailable after a while.
Description
On certain models, climate and some sensors like temperature are provided by the remote, not the fan itself. When the fan loses connection to the remote, these entities may become unavailable while the fan remains available.
Resolution
- Consult vendor documentation on how to re-establish connectivity between the fan and remote.
- Reload the integration to restore entity availability.
