The toolkit validates:
HA_URL and HA_TOKEN are set before any API call"Connection refused" — Verify HA is running and the URL is correct. Check firewall rules.
"401 Unauthorized" — Your token may be expired or invalid. Generate a new one from the HA profile page.
"Entity not found" — Use entities command to list valid entity IDs. Check domain prefix (e.g., light. vs switch.).
