I'd rather suggest "The device configuration can be found in (...)" because it leads to the integrations device configuration screen.

You can re-set the IP address when device IP has changed.
You can also add extra sensor and switch entities or customize your own device.

### IP address

### Refresh interval

Set the interval for actively refreshing the status of a single device (the unit is second) (30 by default and 0 means not refresh actively)
Set the interval for actively refreshing the status of a single device (the unit is second).
The interval is set to 30 seconds by default and can be set to 0 to not refresh actively. \
Mostly the status update of Midea devices relies on the active information notification of the device, \
in which condition the status update in HA still works normally even if the refresh interval is set to be "0". \
This component will also actively query the device status at regular intervals, and the default time is 30 seconds. \
This component will also actively query the device status at regular intervals at a default interval of 30 seconds. \
Some devices do not have active information notifications when their status changed, so synchronization with the status in HA will be slower. \
If you are very concerned about the synchronization speed of the status, you can try to set a shorter status refresh interval.

**_❗Note: shorter refresh interval may mean more power consumption_**

### Extra sensor and switch entities

After configuration, one of few main entity (e.g. climate entity) may be generated . If you want to make the attributes to extra sensor and switch entities, click CONFIGURE in Midea AC LAN integration card to choose (your device MUST support this feature).
