WTH docs for "Customizing" contain an example code supported only by a custom plugin?

This link:

contains an example code only supported by the Custom UI plugin:


And there are no any remarks that this is only supported by this custom plugin.
Examples for “customize_glob” & “customize_domain” were added as a part of this PR on 26 Feb 2017.

Either Custom UI becomes a part of HA or the docs are edited correspondingly.
Otherwise the docs are confusing for inexperienced users.

Those were added into core along time ago

Line 125 shows them in core

Does that mean that a functionality of Custom UI is a core functionality - at least in part of this code?

  customize_domain:
    light:
      icon: mdi:home
    ...
  customize_glob:
    "light.kitchen_*":
      icon: mdi:description

Everything you see in the docs is part of core.

I think you’re getting tripped up because custom ui can also do the same actions. Just wipe custom ui from your memory and try what’s in the docs

Now I got the point. Correct me if I am wrong:

  1. You may use customize, customize_glob & customize_domain as a part of a core - w/o templates.
  2. You may also use them with templates written on JS code - only with Custom UI.
