293-297: Approved: Valuable clarification on command templating limitations.The added note provides crucial information about the limitations of templating in the
commandfield forsensorandbinary_sensorplatforms. This clarification will help users avoid potential configuration errors.Consider rephrasing the note slightly for improved clarity:
- While `command` is accepting a template for `sensor` and `binary_sensor`, it's only the arguments that can be a template. This means the command name itself cannot be generated by a template, but it must be literally provided. + While the `command` field accepts templates for `sensor` and `binary_sensor` platforms, only the arguments can be templated. The command name itself must be literally provided and cannot be generated by a template.

1-1000: Suggestion: Add a table of contents for improved navigation.The documentation for the Command line integration is comprehensive and well-structured. To further enhance its usability, consider adding a table of contents at the beginning of the document. This would allow users to quickly navigate to specific sections of interest, especially given the length and depth of the documentation.
Here's a suggested format for the table of contents:
## Table of Contents - [Configuration](#configuration) - [Binary sensor](#binary-sensor) - [Cover](#cover) - [Notify](#notify) - [Sensor](#sensor) - [Switch](#switch) - [Execution](#execution) - [Examples](#examples) - [Binary sensor examples](#examples-binary-sensor-platform) - [Cover examples](#example-cover-platform) - [Sensor examples](#examples-sensor-platform) - [Switch examples](#example-switch-platform) - [Actions](#actions)This addition would improve the overall navigation and user experience of the documentation.

I would change the note - add this sentence like it was done for shell_command: Command line may be presented as i.e. here the the whole 2nd command is templated, not only attributes. |
