23-24: Enhance the warning message for better clarity.The added note is valuable and addresses an important limitation. However, we can make it more explicit and actionable.
Consider this revised wording:
-Please note you may need to program at least one [effect](#effects) into your device before you can control it at all using this integration. +{% note %} +**Important:** Before using this integration, you must program at least one [effect](#effects) into your device using the Twinkly mobile app. Without any pre-programmed effects, the device control may be disabled. +{% endnote %}This revision:
- Uses the Home Assistant note component for better visibility
- Makes it clearer that this is a prerequisite step
- Specifies how to add the effects (via mobile app)
- Explains the consequence of not having effects

23-24: LGTM! Well-structured documentation update.The new warning is well-positioned and complements the existing Effects section, providing users with critical information upfront while maintaining detailed instructions further down.
Proposed change
As mentioned in #35156 and documented below, twinkly devices may require an effect be programmed into them before the HA integration can control them. This is an acceptable limitation, I just feel it should be documented so first time users are warned.
