blueprint:
  name: Sonoff TRVZB External Setpoint
  description: |
    Control multiple TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) valves using a single external temperature sensor.
    Compatible with both Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA integrations.

    Features:
    - Directly sets external temperature on TRV (no offset calculation)
    - Automatically switches TRV to external sensor mode if needed
    - Automatic 2-hour update to prevent TRV fail-safe mode
    - Rate limiting to preserve battery life and reduce Zigbee traffic
