Document RadioFrequency entity#3067

Conversation
Documents the new `radio_frequency` entity domain introduced in home-assistant/core#168447, which provides an abstraction layer between RF transceiver hardware and device-specific integrations, mirroring the existing `infrared` entity platform.
Only `ModulationType.OOK` is currently supported. Call this out explicitly and use OOK in the code examples.
Replace the placeholder garage-door example with adapted snippets from home-assistant/core#168450, which shows the real config-flow filtering by a sample command's frequency/modulation and the real send-command path via rf_protocols.get_codes.

In `@blog/2026-04-22-radio-frequency-entity-platform.md`:
- Line 70: Replace wordy/modal phrasing in the documentation: change "Each
loaded command exposes the frequency and modulation the device uses, which the
config flow needs in order to filter transmitters." to use "to" instead of "in
order to" (tighten to: "which the config flow needs to filter transmitters"),
and locate the sentence that uses "may" at the other paragraph and change the
modal "may" to a direct future/assertive form (e.g., replace "may" with "will"
or reword to a definitive statement) so the tone follows the Microsoft Style
Guide and the project's authoritative, concise voice.
In `@docs/core/entity/radio-frequency.md`:
- Around line 84-85: Change the soft/modal phrasing to direct imperative
instructions in the two sentences referencing
RadioFrequencyTransmitterEntity.async_send_command and the
radio_frequency.async_send_command helper: replace "should not call ...
directly. Use ..." or any softer phrasing with a single authoritative command
like "Do not call RadioFrequencyTransmitterEntity.async_send_command directly;
call radio_frequency.async_send_command instead, which handles state updates and
context management." Ensure both occurrences that mention
RadioFrequencyTransmitterEntity.async_send_command and
radio_frequency.async_send_command use this imperative tone and mirror each
other for consistency.

Addressed in commit I applied the unresolved CodeRabbit wording suggestions in both files to use more concise and directive language:
This is a docs-only change (no UI changes). |
