The legacy `platform: template` switch format is deprecated. This moves the vacuum_mode switch to the modern template integration format in templates.yaml and removes the now-empty switches.yaml file. Entity ID changes from switch.vacuum_mode to switch.vacuum_mode (same ID since unique_id is now set).
…cript The update-readme.py script now properly handles sensors, binary_sensors, and switches defined in templates.yaml, not just the legacy YAML files.
Also regenerate README.md with updated entity links that now correctly reference templates.yaml for template-based sensors, binary_sensors, and switches.
The script now searches for both legacy format (entity_name:) and modern template format (unique_id: entity_name), allowing it to properly link to entities defined in templates.yaml.
The script now also searches for entities by their friendly name (e.g., "name: activity in living room" for entity_id "binary_sensor.activity_in_living_room"). This finds more entities defined in templates.yaml without unique_id. Note: Some entities still can't be found due to naming mismatches (e.g., entity_id has "activity_in_living_room" but template name is "Activity in the living room" with extra "the"). These would need unique_id added to templates.yaml to be found reliably.
