Replace mention of integration with helper in documentation for helpers #35577

Feedback

Apropos of https://community.home-assistant.io/t/generic-thermostat-s-not-showing-up-on-integrations-page/790474 I had another look at the docs and saw that for a lot of helpers the documentation uses both the words integration and helper. I'm willing to make a PR that fixes this by changing occurrences of integration to helper. But there are also buttons to

add integration to my HA

that should also be changed then? And maybe there are other things that should be taken into account?

Helpers are integrations...

Everything in Home Assistant are integrations, but they have different purposes. Some are helpers, but even the automation engine itself is an integration.

Understood. There is still a incorrect detail about where to find the helper when it is added using YAML, but that information is taken from an included markdown file. Do you propose to close this issue as won't fix?

The integration is now shown on the integrations page under Settings > Devices & services. Its entities are listed on the integration card itself and on the Entities tab.
