        """Initialize network device."""
        super().__init__(coordinator)
        self._attr_device_info = DeviceInfo(
            connections={(CONNECTION_NETWORK_MAC, mac)},
            name="Network Device",
            manufacturer="Unknown",
            model="Unknown",
            # Use default_ variants when actual info is unknown
            default_manufacturer="Generic",
            default_model="Network Device",
            default_name="Device",
        )

7. Entity Lifecycle Hooks

Advanced Lifecycle Management:

class MyEntity(CoordinatorEntity[MyCoordinator], SensorEntity):
    """Entity with lifecycle hooks."""

    async def async_added_to_hass(self) -> None:
        """Run when entity is added to hass."""
        await super().async_added_to_hass()
        # Subscribe to events, register services, etc.
        self.async_on_remove(
            self.hass.bus.async_listen("custom_event", self._handle_event)
        )

    async def async_will_remove_from_hass(self) -> None:
        """Run when entity will be removed from hass."""
        await super().async_will_remove_from_hass()
        # Cleanup resources, close connections, etc.
        # Note: Listeners registered with async_on_remove are auto-cleaned

    async def _handle_event(self, event):
        """Handle custom event."""
        self.async_write_ha_state()

8. State Class Best Practices

State Class Guidelines:

State Class Use Case Example
MEASUREMENT Instantaneous readings Temperature, humidity, power usage
TOTAL Accumulating values (can decrease) Gas meter, net energy (solar)
TOTAL_INCREASING Monotonically increasing counters Water meter, energy consumption
# MEASUREMENT - can go up or down
class TemperatureSensor(SensorEntity):
    _attr_state_class = SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT
    _attr_device_class = SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE

# TOTAL - net metering (can go negative)
class NetEnergySensor(SensorEntity):
    _attr_state_class = SensorStateClass.TOTAL
    _attr_device_class = SensorDeviceClass.ENERGY

# TOTAL_INCREASING - consumption only
class EnergyConsumptionSensor(SensorEntity):
    _attr_state_class = SensorStateClass.TOTAL_INCREASING
    _attr_device_class = SensorDeviceClass.ENERGY

9. Translation Strings

strings.json:

{
  "config": {
    "step": {
      "user": {
        "title": "Connect to Device",
        "description": "Enter your device credentials",
        "data": {
          "host": "Hostname or IP address",
          "username": "Username",
          "password": "Password"
        }
      },
      "reauth_confirm": {
        "title": "Reauthenticate",
        "description": "Your credentials have expired. Please enter your password.",
        "data": {
          "password": "Password"
        }
      }
    },
    "error": {
      "cannot_connect": "Unable to connect to the device",
      "invalid_auth": "Invalid credentials",
      "unknown": "Unexpected error occurred"
    },
    "abort": {
      "already_configured": "Device is already configured"
    }
  },
  "options": {
    "step": {
      "init": {
        "title": "Options",
        "data": {
          "scan_interval": "Update interval (seconds)"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "entity": {
    "sensor": {
      "temperature": {
        "name": "Temperature"
      },
      "energy": {
        "name": "Energy consumption"
      }
    }
  }
}

Instructions

When invoked, you MUST follow these steps:

  1. Assess Integration Scope

    • Determine integration type (device, hub, service, helper)
    • Identify required platforms (sensor, switch, light, climate, etc.)
    • Check if config flow is needed or if YAML configuration is acceptable
    • Determine data source (cloud API, local device, calculated)
  2. Create Integration Structure

    • Generate manifest.json with correct metadata
    • Create __init__.py with setup/unload hooks
    • Create const.py for domain and constants
    • Add config_flow.py if UI configuration is needed
  3. Implement Data Coordinator (if external data)

    • Create coordinator.py with DataUpdateCoordinator
    • Implement _async_update_data() with proper error handling
    • Set appropriate update_interval based on data source
    • Handle authentication failures with ConfigEntryAuthFailed
  4. Implement Entity Platforms

    • Create platform files (sensor.py, switch.py, etc.)
    • Use appropriate base classes (SensorEntity, SwitchEntity, etc.)
    • Implement device_info for device registry
    • Set correct device_class and state_class
    • Use CoordinatorEntity for coordinator-based entities
  5. Add Translations

    • Create strings.json with config flow messages
    • Add entity translations with translation_key
    • Include error and abort messages
  6. Validate Implementation

    • Check unique_id is set for all entities
    • Verify device_info uses identifiers or connections
    • Ensure async patterns are used throughout
    • Confirm type hints are present
    • Validate state_class matches use case

Best Practices:

  • Use async patterns exclusively (async_setup_entry, not setup_entry)
  • Set unique_id on all entities to enable UI renaming
  • Use _attr_has_entity_name = True for new integrations
  • Prefer DataUpdateCoordinator over individual entity polling
  • Use CoordinatorEntity for entities that use coordinators
  • Set device_class and state_class for proper UI display
  • Use translation_key instead of hardcoded names
  • Handle authentication failures with ConfigEntryAuthFailed
  • Use ConfigEntryNotReady for temporary failures during setup
  • Implement options flow for user-configurable settings
  • Use selectors in config flows for better UX
  • Add type hints with from __future__ import annotations
  • Use type MyConfigEntry = ConfigEntry[MyCoordinator] for runtime_data
  • Store coordinator in entry.runtime_data, not hass.data
  • Register update listeners with entry.async_on_unload()
  • Use _attr_ properties when values are static
  • Use @property methods when values are computed from coordinator data
