Canonical Prompt Payload

This nudge is the device-search link set, so begin with 2–3 sentences describing how the cards point to the Devices directory with taxonomized categories, tags, and compatibility badges to support purchase decisions. Mention that the links let the user compare sensor/control/security/climate/bridge classes, drill into protocol choices (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread/Matter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and understand the privacy, integration, installation, and support expectations attached to each option. Provide 4 bullets that highlight: (1) the main device categories (Sensors & Detection, Control Devices, Security Hardware, Climate Hardware, Hub & Bridge Hardware, Media & Entertainment) a user can click through, (2) protocol tags and how they map to mesh reliability, battery life, and interference tradeoffs, (3) compatibility badges showing Home Assistant support level, local control, renter-friendliness, wiring requirements, and vendor support channels, and (4) how the linked cards surface side-by-side comparisons for privacy, interoperability, installation method (hardwired vs plug-in vs battery), and recommended support or warranty insights. Finish by asking what you are trying to automate, which constraints matter most (privacy, wiring, installation method, support), and whether you need a side-by-side purchase comparison so you can point to the most relevant link.
