Added 🆕

Domain-filtered pickers

• Control entity picker filters to:

  • switch, light, cover, lock, media_player, input_boolean, fan

• Timer entity picker filters to:

  • timer

• Last run sensor (optional) picker filters to:

  • sensor, input_datetime

Help popup on the UI Editor for “Last run sensor (optional)” ❓

• A ? button appears next to the label.

• Clicking it opens a popup containing:

  • Guidance on creating a trigger-based sensor
  • A ready-to-copy YAML template example

Entity accordion UI 🪗

• Expanding one entity automatically collapses the others.
• Adding a new entity opens it immediately for editing.
• Reordering keeps the correct entity expanded.

---

Fixed 🐛

• Entity pickers disappearing (Control / Timer / Sensor) in certain HA UI environments.
• Timer picker filtering so only timer.* entities are shown.

---

Backwards Compatibility 🔁

• Existing configuration structure is preserved.
• Default handling for entities[].timer_and_entity_connected_via_automation remains unchanged.
