 # VERSIONS:

+#                 Relay 2 on both switches is virtual/mirror only and follows Tasmota feedback.
+#                 Added sync guard globals/scripts to prevent MQTT/HA feedback chatter.

 # - 3-gang KS-811 triple switch.
 # - Relay 1 = Master Bedroom South Lights. PHYSICAL LOAD CONNECTED on this switch.
 # - Relay 2 = Master Bedroom North Lights. VIRTUAL/MIRROR ONLY on this switch; no load connected.
+# - Actual North Lights are controlled by Tasmota iFan02 entity light.tasmo_ifan02_3793_bedrm1_1.
 # - Relay 3 = unused output. Forced off/internal; Button 3 does NOT toggle Relay 3.
 # - Button 1 toggles South Lights locally by toggling Relay 1.
-# - Button 2 toggles North Lights locally by toggling Relay 2.
+# - Button 2 requests North Lights ON/OFF via Tasmota MQTT and waits for Tasmota stat feedback.
 # - Button 3 checks the Home Assistant bedside lamp jump/fade switch state and calls the opposite HA action.
-# - Relay 1 and Relay 2 are mirrored to the matching west switch in two ways:
+# - South Lights are mirrored to the matching west switch in two ways:
 #     Method 1: HA blueprint sync between the relay entities (fast path when HA is online).
 #     Method 2: MQTT retained status sync between switches (backup path if HA is down, broker online).
+# - North Lights are mirrored using:
