A rabbit checks the lamps at night
Then reads their states by soft moonlight
If one stays dim, the notes say so
A quick command gets truth to show
Four seconds pass; the checks are done
The bunny hops beneath the sun

- Around line 504-518: Align `_reads_back("set_temperature")` targets with the
entities actually serviced by `ha_set_temperature`: exclude IDs from the
unsupported, unserviced domain, or update the service path to apply the action
to every supported domain. Ensure read-back cannot fail or succeed based on an
entity that was not acted on.

When

A stable Home Assistant state with no numericattributes.temperaturetherefore returns"ok", so the read-back can report success without verifying the requested temperature. Keep the existing moving-state behavior, but return"wrong"when a non-moving state does not report a numeric temperature.Suggested fix

Refs #386 (part 1 of 2: Home Assistant read-back. Skill validation follows in a second PR.)
Summary
After a Home Assistant action, Sentient now reads the device back and only calls it done when the device really changed. Before, only the call's own result was checked (#380), and Home Assistant says "done" even when a bulb ignores it.
Where the failure shows up:
Task runs need nothing new: a failed read-back already ends the run

Home Assistant actions now wait up to 4 s when a device doesn't change. A device that obeys answers on the first read, 0.5 s after the call, so a quick light command takes about 0.5 s instead of about 0.1 s. Set
