- Added response schema definition in services.yaml for ask_question service
- Set supports_response=True flag when registering the service
- Fixed JSON syntax error in English translation file
- Added comprehensive documentation with examples for response_variable usage
- Users can now capture AI responses directly in variables without sensor delays
Resolves issue where scripts failed with 'Script does not support response_variable' error
- Removed target blocks from all services in services.yaml
- Services now work as global services without requiring device/area/entity selection
- Users can call services directly with only required parameters
- Fixes issue #2 where services incorrectly required target selection after v2.1.8 update
- Remove invalid response schema from ask_question service
- Add required target configuration for all services
- Ensure compliance with Home Assistant service schema requirements
