Document prerequisites to NUT

[tdfountain]

Proposed change

The current NUT instructions do not specify the prerequisites. New users to Home Assistant appear to often not understand the need for a NUT server. This PR adds a new "Prerequisites" section after the section on supported devices. This prerequisites section notes the requirement for a NUT server. It also provides guidance on setting the NUT server's IP address and a helpful reminder about possibly requiring a username and password (both using similar language as other integration docs).

Type of change

• Spelling, grammar or other readability improvements (current branch).
• Adjusted missing or incorrect information in the current documentation (current branch).
• Added documentation for a new integration I'm adding to Home Assistant (next branch).
  • I've opened up a PR to add logos and icons in Brands repository.
• Added documentation for a new feature I'm adding to Home Assistant (next branch).
• Removed stale or deprecated documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new section titled "Prerequisites" to the documentation for the NUT integration. This section specifies that a NUT server must be configured to monitor supported power devices and outlines the necessity of a static IP address, fixed DHCP reservation, or DNS for accessing the NUT server. Additionally, it states that a username and password are required for authentication when logging into the NUT server.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

30-40: Enhanced Documentation with Clear Prerequisites

The newly added "Prerequisites" section clearly delineates what users need to have set up before configuring the NUT integration. It effectively instructs users to ensure a NUT server is available—whether via a static IP, static DHCP lease, or DNS—and explains the requirement for authentication credentials if needed. This should reduce confusion for new users regarding initial setup requirements.

Optional Improvement: Consider adding a link or a reference to further information on configuring a NUT server or troubleshooting common network issues. This could offer additional support for users who are less familiar with network setup.

Note regarding CodeRabbit's automated suggestion for further information on configuring a NUT server. The next PR will propose a new section following this one that provides some limited additional information on that topic.
