It seems that this PR is targeted against an incorrect branch since it has a parent PR on one of our codebases. Documentation that needs to be updated for an upcoming release should target the next branch. Please change the target branch of this PR to next and rebase if needed.

🧹 Nitpick comments (5)
source/_integrations/amazon_devices.markdown (5)

28-32: Refine supported devices list phrasing
Consider simplifying the sentence and ordering the device families alphabetically for readability. For example:

- There is support for the following device families within Home Assistant:
+ The following Alexa device families are supported in Home Assistant:

Optionally, sort the list items alphabetically.

38-38: Improve grammar for third-party devices
Change to “and all third-party devices with built-in Alexa capabilities.” for clarity.

42-42: Clarify MFA requirement with documentation link
Good warning. Consider adding a link to Home Assistant’s MFA setup guide or Amazon’s MFA documentation for user convenience.

56-56: Consistent capitalization and article in OTP description
Align with the warning text: use “via the authenticator app” and lowercase unless defined as a proper noun.

- description: One-time password via Authenticator App.
+ description: One-time password via the authenticator app.

117-118: Unify casing in supported functionality section
The list mixes lowercase and uppercase: “Binary sensor”, “Notify”, “Switch”. Align these, e.g., capitalize both words or use platform names in lowercase:

- - Binary sensor – main and Bluetooth connectivity
- - Notify – Speak and Announce notifications
- - Switch – Do not disturb
+ - Binary Sensor – main and Bluetooth connectivity
+ - Notify – Speak and Announce notifications
+ - Switch – Do Not Disturb

6-7: Update ha_category to include new platforms
The metadata now correctly lists Notify and Switch alongside Binary Sensor. Ensure ha_platforms aligns with these entries.

22-22: Generalize integration description
The updated wording covers all Alexa-enabled devices linked to the user’s Amazon account, rather than just Echo Dot.
