Update climate.yaml to replace grid status conditions with powerwall grid status checks, ensuring HVAC operations are only triggered when the powerwall is active. Enhance powerwall.yaml with detailed comments on binary sensors, power and energy sensors, and switches for better clarity and documentation.
