19-20: LGTM! Helpful additions and clear example of new syntax.The changes in this section are well-structured and informative:
- The addition of the related document link for Template entities is helpful.
- The note about UI configuration not being available is crucial information for users.
- The updated configuration example clearly demonstrates the new syntax.
Consider adding a brief explanation of why UI configuration is not available for template locks, if possible. This could help users understand the limitation better.
Also applies to: 33-35, 43-54
60-97: Configuration section updates look good, but consider clarifying the 'state' parameter.The changes in the configuration section accurately reflect the new structure and parameter names:
- The addition of
unique_idis helpful for UI customization.- The renaming of parameters (e.g.,
value_templatetostate) is consistent with the reported changes.- The new
availabilityparameter provides useful functionality.Consider adding a note or example for the
stateparameter to clarify that it replaces the formervalue_template. This could help users who are familiar with the old syntax understand the change better.🧰 Tools

119-204: Examples section is comprehensive and well-updated.The examples section has been thoroughly updated and improved:
- All examples now use the new syntax, providing clear guidance for users.
- The range of examples (basic lock, optimistic mode, sensor with two switches) covers various use cases.
- The new example with dynamic code is an excellent addition, demonstrating an advanced scenario.
Consider adding a brief comment before each example to explain its specific use case or the concept it's demonstrating. This could help users quickly identify the most relevant example for their needs.

1-204: Overall, excellent update to the Template Lock documentation.The document has been successfully updated to reflect the new template lock syntax:
- The structure is logical and easy to follow.
- All changes are consistent with the reported modifications.
- The language is clear and appropriate for the target audience.
- The examples are comprehensive and demonstrate various use cases.
Consider adding a "Breaking Changes" or "Migration Guide" section at the beginning of the document. This would help existing users understand how to update their configurations from the old syntax to the new one.

305-338: Consider adding a brief example for lock configurationTo maintain consistency with other entity types in the documentation, consider adding a brief YAML example for the lock configuration. This would help users understand how to implement a template lock in their configuration. Here's a suggested example:
template: - lock: - name: "Template Lock" state: "{{ states('input_select.lock_status') }}" lock: service: script.lock_door unlock: service: script.unlock_doorAdding this example would align the lock documentation with other entity types and provide users with a quick reference for implementation.

1-24: Update introduction to include locksTo ensure completeness and clarity, consider updating the introduction paragraph to explicitly mention locks as a supported entity type. This change would immediately inform users about the full range of entities supported by the Template integration.
Suggested update for the second paragraph:
Sensors, binary (on/off) sensors, buttons, images, locks, numbers, and selects are covered on this page. They can be configured using [UI](#configuration) or [YAML](#yaml-configuration) file.This minor change would help users quickly understand that locks are now supported by the Template integration.

99-101: Excellent addition of Template and action variables section.The new section on Template and action variables is a valuable addition to the documentation:
- It introduces the
thisvariable, which is crucial for working with templates.- The explanation is concise and provides a link to more detailed documentation on self-referencing.
This information will be very helpful for users creating complex template locks.

305-338: LGTM: Lock configuration added successfullyThe new lock configuration has been added to the Template integration documentation. The structure and content are consistent with other entity types in the document. Here's a summary of the changes:
- Lock entity type added to the configuration options.
- Proper indentation and formatting maintained.
- All required and optional fields for lock entities are documented.
- Descriptions for each field are clear and informative.
The addition of lock entities enhances the capabilities of the Template integration, providing users with more flexibility in their Home Assistant setups.

1-424: Overall: Excellent addition of lock support to Template integrationThe changes to add lock support to the Template integration documentation are well-implemented and maintain the high quality of the existing documentation. The new lock configuration section is clear, consistent, and provides users with the necessary information to implement template locks in their Home Assistant setups.
A few minor suggestions have been made to further enhance the documentation:
- Adding a brief YAML example for lock configuration.
- Updating the introduction to explicitly mention locks as a supported entity type.
These suggestions are not critical but would improve the overall user experience and consistency of the documentation.
Great job on expanding the capabilities of the Template integration!
