-      - async_step_zeroconf -> a config entry title is considered userland,
-      so if someone renamed their entry, it will be reverted back with the code at L146.
       - async_step_reaut L160: I believe that the unique is already set when starting a reauth flow
       - The config flow is missing data descriptions for the other fields
