Added references to mightymos firmware

Description:

  1. Clarified introduction for easier readability.
  2. Clarified uart_id configuration variable
  3. Added reference to "Mightymos" firmware alongside Portisch
  4. Moved bridge.beep out of portisch section because no Portisch is needed for beeping
  5. Add a link for another, more user friendly B1 converter
  6. extended the example at the end.

1-1: LGTM! Clear and informative introduction.

The updated introduction provides excellent technical details about the different RF Bridge versions and their microcontrollers. The information is accurate and helpful for users.

Consider adding a line break between the title and the SEO block for better readability in the source.

Also applies to: 9-11


50-51: Clarify which ID belongs to which component.

While both ID descriptions are present, it's not immediately clear which one refers to the UART configuration and which to the RF bridge configuration. Consider updating the descriptions to:

- - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the UART hub.
- - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the RF bridge. Used for code generation and event tracking in home assistant. 
+ - **uart_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the UART hub in the uart configuration block.
+ - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the RF bridge component. Used for code generation and event tracking in home assistant.

Line range hint 362-425: LGTM with minor formatting suggestions.

The Home Assistant integration example is comprehensive and well-structured. However, there are some minor formatting inconsistencies to address:

- ## send standard RF using intiger values 
+ ## Send standard RF using integer values 

Also, consider consistent indentation in the YAML configuration to improve readability.

9-11: Fix typos in the introduction

There are a few typographical errors in the introduction:

  • Line 9: "singals" should be "signals"
  • Line 11: "embeded" should be "embedded"

167-198: Consider adding raw command format specification

While the documentation clearly explains the functionality, it would be helpful to add a note explaining the expected format of the raw command string (e.g., hexadecimal format, length requirements, etc.).

34-40: Add clarifying comments to the configuration example.

While the configuration is correct, adding comments would help users understand the purpose of each ID.

171-203: Add warning about raw command length limitations.

Consider adding a warning about potential length limitations of raw commands in different firmware versions.

 Send a raw command to the onboard radio chip. The OEM RF firmware is able to send raw only for standard signals (usually short), for other signals (B0 transmit), Portisch or Mightymos fimrware is needed.

+.. warning::
+
+    Raw command length limitations vary by firmware:
+    - OEM firmware: Limited to standard (short) signals
+    - Portisch/Mightymos firmware: Supports longer raw commands for advanced protocols

356-367: Add context for radio reset functionality.

Consider adding information about when users might need to reset the radio controller.

+This functionality allows you to reset the radio controller if it becomes unresponsive or stops receiving/transmitting correctly.

34-37: Add clarification about UART ID usage.

While the UART configuration is correct, it would be helpful to explicitly mention that the uart_hub ID is used to link the UART bus to the RF bridge component.

    uart:
      id: uart_hub
      baud_rate: 19200
      tx_pin: 1
      rx_pin: 3

+    # The uart_hub ID is used to connect the RF bridge to this UART bus
    rf_bridge:
+      uart_id: uart_hub

176-181: Add warning about OEM firmware limitations.

While the distinction between OEM and alternative firmware capabilities is mentioned, it would be helpful to add a clear warning about OEM firmware limitations.

Send a raw command to the onboard radio chip. The OEM RF firmware is able to send raw only for standard signals (usually short), for other signals (B0 transmit), Portisch or Mightymos fimrware is needed.

+.. warning::
+
+    The OEM firmware has limited capabilities for raw transmissions. Complex or long signals may not work correctly without alternative firmware.

This can be used to send raw RF codes in automations, mainly for protocols that are not supported.

425-431: Fix YAML indentation.

The event configuration block has incorrect indentation which could cause confusion.
