The entity name placeholders on lines 134 and 146 use square brackets (e.g., [DeviceType], [Protocol], [Port]) but are not explained. Following Home Assistant documentation conventions seen in other integrations (like Enphase Envoy), dynamic entity name parts should either be: (1) explained clearly with a note describing what the placeholder represents, (2) use angle bracket notation like <DeviceType>, or (3) provide concrete examples. Without clarification, users may be confused about whether these are literal entity names or placeholders.
