Fix WLED link + explain about segments #2240
Conversation
Also makes it clearer how to find WLED on the configuration GUI.

| .. important:: | ||
| The brightness limiter must be turned on in WLED for this to work! Otherwise WLED will not provide an estimated current. | ||
|
|
||
| You can setup sensors both with YAML or GUI. | ||
| When you use the GUI select :guilabel:`wled` in the calculation_strategy dropdown. | ||
| When you use the GUI, select the "Virtual power (manual)" sensor type, and :guilabel:`wled` in the "Calculation strategy" dropdown. |

This will represent it nicely formatted.

| If you have multiple segments, select any of them as the source entity; selecting a helper group with all segments will cause a failure to find the current sensor, even if entity IDs match perfectly. |

I don't think power sensor per segment will work correctly, as there is no estimated_current sensor supplied per segment by the WLED integration as far as I know.
So we might need to add a note that WLED strategy cannot be used for segments unfortunately.
In the discovery routine of powercalc only the main wled light is considered. |
